So Loud

If you meant to keep it yourself,
then why’d you say the quiet part so loud?
I’m not coming around again.
I don’t remember any of this
Talking heads talking communists, oh no
Please hand me that remote
Don’t… go on about it.
Don’t… go on about it.
Each story has more holes than the last
Every accusation comes with a brand new catch
You’re just trying to reel me in
If you’re just gonna believe,
Anything that’s hidden up anybody’s sleeve
Why won’t you listen to me now?
Don’t… go on about it.
Don’t… go on about it.
Don’t… go on about it.
Don’t… go on about it.
Maybe I should keep it to myself,
At least when you’re around,
Cause I’m not falling for that again
A new crease in your furrowed brow,
Another line telling me to get out now
Oh no, how’s it gonna end?
Don’t… go on about it.
Don’t… go on about it.
Don’t… go on about it.
Don’t… go on about it.

Shell Shock

Where are we coming from?
A place in the sun
The fear i knew
It would end too soon
We lost light in the day
We tried to stay awake
While the horizon glows
I feel like i’ve thrown
It all away into a void
Hard to know it all has to be destroyed
Or better yet weathered away
Time will put us back in our place
What a wire we walk
The sweet talk the shell shock
Of a world barely unknown
And i feel like i’ve thrown
It all away into a void
Hard to know it all has to be destroyed
Or better yet weathered away
Time will put us back in our place
Into holes in the ground
The soil keep us safe and sound
And as i close my eyes
Each second i’ve analyzed
Where are we coming from?
A place in the sun
The fear i knew
It would end too soon
It would end too soon
It would end too soon
It would end too soon
It would end too soon

Shades On

There is a space
Between the camera and me
That nobody sees
A few degrees
Another take
Let’s do that again
I’m starting to blend
The real and pretend
The days they get longer now
The need it grows stronger now
I’ve been awake
Can’t catch a wink
Need to rethink
Who will I be this time?
Can we draw the blinds?
This state of mind
Has me shuttered
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn
Try to be cool
Shades on at dawn

Steve Leaf Grand Rapids, Michigan
There is a quiet confidence to the music of Steve Leaf. He has been writing songs for fifteen years now. Some songs about love, some songs about love lost, and others about everything else to cover all the bases. Steve hails from Michigan and cut his teeth in the singer/songwriter scene of Chicago which is to say he usually tries to sneak a Wilco cover into his set. ... more

all my dreams are impossible
by Elisabeth Pixley-Fink
supported by 5 fans who also own “Three Songs”
I try to make it a point to insist that being a great musician doesn’t mean that you don’t also have to try to be a good human. But listening to these three songs…the quirkiness and in particular the pure tone of EPF’s voice, which always strikes straight into my heart…and I think to myself, “that sound/tone/voice/song stands on its own. It is its own gift to the world.”
