Sometimes we just need called out on our own BS. We've all heard that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," and even though we understand that, sometimes we still catch ourselves falling back into the same patterns despite our desire and intent to produce different results or outcomes in our lives. If that sounds vague and overly general, it's only because I'm purposefully keeping it so.
But maybe... Maybe if we had a theme song to prompt ourselves out of old habits. Maybe...
Nah. It'd never work.
These songs and this album (not to mention my career) simply would not be possible without supporters and patrons like Robin Abess, Randy Brown, Jon Haight, Les Howard, Brian Jackey, Jeremy Jackson & Jennifer Lewis, Michael Khandelwal, Josh Logan, Scot Mealy, Ame Morris, Amy Stuart, Scott & Melanie Wienhusen, John R. Woollard, and @oopswrongcookie. I am eternally grateful to them, and to all my supporters.
lyrics
I’m beating my head against a wall again, Hitting the gas while
my wheels spin in circles, asking myself why, and
I may have a history of pounding sand, pulling on my
bootstraps and believing if I pull hard enough I’ll fly
But this time’s gonna be different. This time’s gonna be wow
This time’s gonna be different, somehow…
I’m shooting at the moon again, chasing my
own tail and then relaxing by pissing in the wind, and
I’m herding cats and taking turns, fiddling
While cities burn by windmills that I’ve tilted while they spin
But this time’s gonna be different. This time’s gonna be wow
This time’s gonna be different, somehow…
But this time’s gonna be different. This time time I’m gonna wow
Cause I’m wasting every breath I take, kissing snakes and
Pushing all this water uphill with a rake
But this time’s gonna be different. This time’s gonna be wow
This time’s gonna be different, somehow…
A nationally touring performer with hits like She Don’t Like Firefly, Best Game Ever, and Opposite of Cool, Mikey Mason is a
ball of contagious enthusiasm who makes songs about role-playing games, video games, sci-fi, fantasy, cats, and the general experience of being a geek. He’s been heard on nerdist.com, SyFy, TheFuMP.com, and Dr. Demento, and is a truly must-see event each time he performs....more
Simply contagious. Gorgeous, creative, original songs that are riveting on the cd and even better live. Buy the songs, then go see him live. I'm absolutely a fan. Mikey Mason
Superheroes and videogames and polished rock music that makes it just as attractive as anything else you might find on the radio... Such great, great music! Mikey Mason
