New Song! It’s Alright

Here’s another track with “studio” and “unplugged” versions.
It’s Alright
By Lisa Rein and Ron Taylor

This songs too personal to really go into details. It’s a song I wrote to my boyfriend in 1995. So I guess this one is for you, James.
People always wonder if I mean “it’s all right” or it’s (only) “alright.” But the lyrics below are intentional. For the most part, at that time in my life, for lots of different reasons, it was only “alright.”

New Song! Hiding

Leave a reply

I just put up a new song today. And there’s more where that came from.
This time I’m trying something new, and posting both a studio track and an “unplugged” version from our practice a few weeks ago.

Hiding
By Lisa Rein and Ron Taylor

There isn’t really a story that goes with this song. It’s about reaching one’s full potential.
I used to not be able to sing it without tearing up a little. (I actually have a lot of songs like that — like James and Marybeth…)
It’s another oldie but goodie. There will be newer stuff going up soon — and I’ve really been focusing on the new material lately. But I realize that all of these are new to you guys and so, when a friend mentioned how much he liked “Hiding” — and that I shouldn’t be — it reminded me to make this available to you.

The Revolution Will Be MP3’d

6 Replies

There’s a revolution going on guys, and it starts today!
Musicians are going to stand up for their right to use the Internet to promote their music.
Listeners are going to stand up for their right to not be spied on and treated as criminals for sharing that music.
Ready, set….GO!
Here’s an awesome MP3 that will serve nicely as its theme song (courtesy of Zug):
RIAA Phone Call

Here’s more information about it.
(Thanks, Jason.)
Lyrics:
well i recollect the days when music was free
you could tape from the radio, burn a CD
now the RIAA wants to know about me
my address, my number, my ISP
yo, bitches, ain’t we still got privacy?
why the president be lettin’ you spy on me
how many tricks they gonna be lettin you try on me?
trying to be spying on my MP3s
But you protect YOUR corporate privacy
Keep your phone number hidden from the bourgeoisie
Your customers have to play hide and seek
So here’s the number to call if you disagree
775-0101
775-0101
202-775-0101
why’s the RIAA starting litigations
the cops should be looking for the real perpetrations
the killers, the racists, the rapists
‘stead of fucking with us for saving to our hard disk
raise your middle finger if you feel me loc
these fucking subpoenas are a fucking joke
leave us alone, throw us a bone
like i did with your mom that time at your home
There’s NO SUCH THING as bad publicity
Even if you giving it out for free
So join us in the twenty-first century
Where we find our new songs on MP3s
Embrace the new technologies
Grokster, Kazaa, and P2P
So call this number now, and help them see
And if you call from work, your call is free!
775-0101
775-0101
202-775-0101
202 is the area code and we’re dialin’
775 and then we be smilin’
0101-1-cary sherman
well isn’t this fun it’s ZUG.com
you know, they’ve never been fair to the bands.
now the riaa takes a stand?
can’t believe we’re getting preached to by the man
so what’s the plan, stan? I’ve got a short attention span.
they’ve gotta change up the music industry
make it all available on MP3
listen to people like you and me
and make us wanna pay a monthly fee
this song is now my lyrical catastrophe
go ahead and grab it, it’s completely free
aint gotta pay a dime to listen to me
So share this song and fuck the industry

This is pretty interesting. Madeline talks about facilitating Middle East Peace talks and how they won’t even talk to each other during meetings. Over the years, I have always had mixed feelings about Madeline and her policies (although I must admit, she’s been quite on-target lately), but she’s always damn fascinating.
