Normal For Once in Toronto
A live recording of my band Normal For Once, at the Press Club in Toronto on Oct. 7. Me on guitar and vocals, Greg Coldwell on bass, Markus Temiseva on drums. I messed up the order of the verses... the proper lyrics are:
Do you really exist?
I don't think you do
Might as well be a puppet I'm talking to
I have documented proof
this chart will clearly show
I'm on top of the heap, there's nothing down below
La la la la la, I'm the only person in the world
I flail my arms around
I'm kicking at the air
It doesn't matter, 'cause nothing's really there
I can't be proven wrong
or taunted or maligned
'cause opposition is all a figment of my mind
La la la la la, I'm the only person in the world
You say I'm out to lunch
you're blowing off your steam
but you're all just characters in my dream
I'm hearing the alarm
I'm reaching for the snooze
This reality I just don't want to lose
La la la la la, I'm the only person in the world

Which leads me to believe that I just wrote a kickass song about solipsism. With a clever ending.
