Dr. CE

Acoustic rock and folk rock with country, blues, and American Songbook influences.

Formerly "Dr. C and the Stratocats," I'm now on a solo career as "Dr. C," but I had to change my stage name here because someone else had already claimed it. My music strives for melody above all else; I strive to make my songs memorable, so you can whistle a tune immediately. I see melody as the element most lacking in contemporaryr music. I love Sinatra and the Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, anyone who can write a memorable "tune."

Having suffered from depression, this song gives vent to the anguish.

Lyrics

I FEEL LIKE CRYING 

Sometimes it creeps in like a fog 
Blowing from· the ocean cold 
Sometimes I lay there like a log 
Growing moss and growing old. 
Sometimes I think that I must die 
Sometimes I think I can't go on 
Sometimes I do not care 
Sometimes I sit and stare 
Into the blank of air 
Hoping for an end to my song: 

Chorus:

Cause I feel like crying but I can't shed a tear 
I feel like crying, but I can't do it here 
I feel like weeping, but I can't make a sound 
So I just go on singing, lay that last chorus down. 

Sometimes it strikes me like a chord 
That should never have been played, 
Out of tune and out of sorts 
Like a song the devil made. 

Sometimes I think it's just no use, 
Sometimes I think my luck is gone, 
Sometimes I do not care, 
If I am here or there, 
For hell is everywhere 
As I hope for an end to my song: 

Chorus

Bridge:

Wish I knew what was ailing-me, wish I knew the score . . 
Wish I knew what keeps failing me, wish I knew what for 
 
Like a poison with no smell
 it slides into my secret veins
 and defiles the sacred well
 of my soul’s imagined gain.

 Sometimes I think I should depart; 
That I've been in this world too long-
Sometimes I· do not care 
Life's a dead end affair 
I'm too depressed to scare 
I want an end to my song: 
	. 	 
Chorus
