Krachdeedot Bit by Bit was recorded live in my car during October and November of 2020 at the Trevose, PA train station parking lot. Making a car album had been a dream of mine ever since discovering the headphone jack on my keyboard amplifies in the car speakers through the MP3 hole in my car. This idea was renewed during Covid and the pre-recorded band practices I shared online. Most videos are still there somewhere. The audio was captured by video from my cellphone and split into MP3s with a video editor, and then I used Audacity to convert them into wave files for bandcamp. This is album 1 of 3 planned to be released in 2021 as I play catch up recording most of the songs I made since and during my first album Moving Forward (aka the open mic night live album). The goal is to keep up with new song making by recording and releasing songs in the same year/365 days or so instead of letting too much time pass like 5-7 years. Wish me luck : )

Lyric Sheet:
Maybe Something Cool: Dreaming my days away at work of better things I wish I were doing why all this time here in Ewing what am I waiting for just go maybe be something cool maybe something real cool a whole world dares to be explored it's better than living indoors make no more excuses to hide the plan is to live while I'm alive maybe something cool maybe something real cool now's the time for following dreams it's easier than they make it seem so let's aim for the moon and the stars I gotta go I need to know maybe be something cool maybe something real cool cool is the coolest of my heart’s desire lets burn in the fire and see maybe something cool maybe something real cool go find out

I’ll Be Ok: It’s that time again to start over from the beginning it happens every now and then each time it’s something different makes it more exciting just because it feels new trust me when I tell you so I will be ok I’ll be ok I’ll be ok this is what I say this is what I say I will be ok

Dream to Live: It’s ok to be afraid and have some fear when the moment draws near is it energizing or is it terrifying trust the feelings cause we’re human beings hearts thumping adrenaline pumping I cannot believe how good this feeling feels to me to have a dream to live to have a dream to live don’t worry don’t be deceived by the bullshit cause there’s a lot of it interfering with the real meanings if you still don’t believe then set your dreams free and soon you’ll see how they never ever leave I cannot believe how good this feeling feels to me to have a dream to live

There’s Nothing Wrong with Me: It scares me when I think I think I’m crazy it scares me when I think you think I’m crazy this all started when I thought you thought I was crazy and it got me to thinking maybe I may be crazy but you know thinking too much all the time is dumb because I know I know I know I know there’s nothing wrong with me just because I enjoy making music to travel places and play play my songs for you and I just want to play play play play play for you you you you you this is what I’m going to do you know it doesn’t matter what they say I’m gonna do this anyway it doesn’t matter what they say I’m gonna do this anyway it’s just what I want to do and its exactly what I’m going to do

Bit by Bit: The sun comes up and the sun goes down the world continues spinning round and round the weather changes with the seasons too stop acting like it’s something new there’s larger problems for us to face than trying to destroy the human race the world government is such a waste everybody knows this place is gonna blow and I’m feeling to good now to ever sing the blues I love the jokes about life but the punchline is cruel true happiness begins within I make the most of the bullshit with laughter and a grin cause I understand the situation I’m in it’s the human condition we’re all screwed up so I live my life I follow my dreams I live my life I already know exactly what it means I live my life I follow my dreams I live my life cause I already know exactly what it means cause I already know I already know I know I know I know I know how you’re feeling cause I felt it too I know what you’re thinking cause I thought about it too but worrying and doubt is not good for you and laziness is craziness like loneliness is too bit by bit you’re building up success for the next time you’re suffering and under distress remember your achievements to motivate you to get you back to living get you back to doing too

You’ll See: I woke up today feeling good you see how unusual for me to be I love this feeling washing over me as I count my blessings to infinity everything I see gives reasons to believe my destination’s a better me as my dreams get closer to reality I know right now’s the best place to be with the sparks glowing in my heart the illumination of this dark energy swirling all around me my new ability I’m shining so I know just what I know now and I see just what I see now so it’s time for me to be now because right now’s the best place to be it’s right now I’m breaking away feeling free I’m living now you’ll see I’m breaking away I believe I’m living now you’ll see you’ll see you’ll see look at me and you’ll see you’ll see you’ll see right now’s the best place to be
