Artist picture
The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
The third of three songs thinking about my past. A jumble of faded memories that, in my mind's eye, seems like a Monochrome Kaleidoscope! This song, more than the other two about the past, focuses mainly on past relationships and fantasies about how things could have been different.
Lyrics
Well if life goes according to plan I’d be walking on the beach with my one true love But there’s just too much we don’t understand Maybe we’re not supposed to know that much I found out the hard way A fantasy is as only as good Until the next day I guess I always knew it would If I want to love again I want to start again I’ll climb the mountain ahead Or turn around and go back home If I want another friend In someone I can depend A soulmate until the end Is it worth the time? I don’t know Well I guess I’m okay with what I’ve got My life seems no better or worse Until I start thinking, well maybe it’s not I probably should have thought of that first So I sit here all alone Pumped up on all of these Artificial – superficial Highs and smiles – just say cheese – click! Another frame exposed Another moment disposed Another chance is blown Quickly passed my eyes Hang on to that rope Life is a dangerous slope Too slippery to cope It’d be easier just to fly Sick of this false hope This monochrome kaleidoscope An expense at my joke I’ve got a bridge for you to buy So here’s that bridge that I promised you All sales are final I hope you knew So here’s that bridge cross it at your own risk Is this any way to live? Dying to taste your kiss Solo I close my eyes for just a while To see the future that might be I close my eyes some times To see the past that got away from me I close my eyes just to sigh To see a life that’s a just a fantasy And maybe if I try One day I’ll open my eyes To find you next to me I’ll open my eyes, get a surprise To find you lying next to me. I’ll open my eyes to my surprise And find you lying next to me Just one wish, a taste of your kiss To find you lying next to me. I’ll open my eyes to my surprise And find you lying next to me
