LONG SHOT

words and music by Ben Musser
written in Brooklyn, NY

lyrics

Fairness tears at the longshot
Giving me a reason to say goodnight
It’s all the better for the drums and wishes
You never should have put up a fight

Because you see yourself instead of hearing others
And someone tells you it’s alright
The last thing they have is room for another
Faded star that no one can find

And you know I don’t feel good about it
I don’t like bringing you down
But the things you spend your time looking up to
Will surely end up on the ground

As you pray for guidance and things you can’t have
Just talk with friends you already know
Thank your mother for her precious investment
She just might happen to know

Players meet at the talk shop
Sniffing one another for something cheap
What they find instead is an awkward reception
Accompanied by my uneasy teeth

But you can’t look down, or knock a girl for trying
Who are we to hammer a call
Someone who’s spent enough time in reflection
To worry who they are anymore

You know I don’t feel good about it
I don’t like bringing you down
But the things you spend your time looking up to
Will surely end up on the ground

You pray for guidance and things you can’t have
Just talk with friends you already know
Thank your mother for her best of intentions
She still might happen to know

Honest, vulnerable shit. Neil Jenny once told Ben "In order to create something truly unique 1 must shut out the influence of others". If anything, here's a killer contemporary artists' advice applied to music. ... more
