BEING WITH YOU the moment i kissed you i knew it ten ten on a friday night all these years in the dark i said screw it being with you being with you turned on the light you said you’d love me forever one week and you’re moving away fast track from always to never what can i do being with you one more day we could take a walk on the beach hand in hand, skin to skin we could lay in the sand and begin you tell me you’ree paint me a rainbow come and get it at a quarter to four knock knock it’s nice to meet you miss laidlow “he’s up in his room, keep to the left, the second door” your mother’s packing the pantry i watch you folding your clothes then you unbutton your pants, tell me it’s gonna be fine unbuttoning mine we’ll see love grow after blast off a walk on the sun you above, me below time to cast off, i whisper my love you tell me you know i think i’ll go to church naked kick start my life full of crime i finally find my heart and you break it the things i would do to be here with you six weeks and the pain hasn’t faded i scratch your name on my arm till it bleeds the lights are out again the world is deflated what can I do being with you is what i need being with you being with you is all that i need being with you being with you being with you being with you…

Nadine 05:10 video
NADINE nadine lives in a dream phone bills and sleeping pills lost in between nadine, jersey queen life’s cool when the kids are in school and the kitchen’s clean okay, okay, okay nadine sways in the steam hot shower, they’re home in an hour she’s the star of the scene nadine face full of cream tired eyes judge the weight on her thighs and watch the mirror scream no way, no way, no way what do I have to do? what do I have to do? what do I have to do to make it through? nadine lives in a dream children in bed, ugly thoughts in her head caught in between nadine, alone on her knees one soft prayer in a forest of despair god bless the trees how do I make it through? how do I make it through? how do I make it through to you?

FADING TO GREY don’t let me go you’re drifting away i can see it in your eyes, there’s something’s wrong frozen in time and you don’t have long nobody hurt you, doesn’t mean you weren’t abused you can’t blame the flame on the fuse don’t let me go you’re drifting away fading to grey last in line, the cornerstone all above, none below the buck stops and you’re all alone the world on your shoulders, but nothing to show don’t let me go you’re slipping away fading to grey no matter you say i won’t let you go we’re one and the same you and me but the path to freedom is where we disagree eye to eye, we share a soul but while i’m filling, you keep digging the hole sometimes i think that it would have been better if i could’ve just let you be and let you go but you can’t cut the cold from the snow don’t let me go it’s slipping away fading to gray it’s gonna be okay i won’t let you go only love can break you heart

THE WEATHER too much history too much you and me too much time together let’s talk about the weather we live in different worlds reality and yours I could tap dance or try to be clever let’s talk about the weather we used to see eye to eye but maybe we had blinders on we used to hold hands but by and by life goes on the truth is a poke in your eye but it hurts too much to lie it needs to be now more than ever let’s talk about the weather

Gravity 02:49 video
GRAVITY i’ll come around your way i’ll try to see your shade of gray another world another day so fine i’ll come around you’ll see i’ll cross your i’s you’ll dot my t’s and all the while this fantasy so fine but something holds me down, these iron boots, this gravity swimming to the surface from the bottom of the sea and somewhere stars are shining, children laughing, and so are me trade my eucalyptus for your twinkling evergreen i’ll come around if you don’t mind i’ll join the search until I find the bitter end to leave behind so fine i’ll come around your way i think I see your summer day your color wheel warms my dying gray so fine i might be a square but i can shed my corners i’ll come around i’ll come around i’ll come around i’ll come around

UP UP AND AWAY monday morning and i’m waking i push the fishbowl now it’s making it’s way to the ground monday afternoon i’m clear all that’s far away is near monday evening and i’m crying far to fall when you’ve been flying so close to the sun monday night the fuses blow it seems i’ll have to let you go too high to see a world of color now blue and green too high to see chew up the details and life can be a dream tuesday morning and i’m shaking the spark’s a fire now the truth takes the bull by the horns tuesday afternoon i roam a hero’s got to have a home tuesday evening i let go i watch the worlds collide and smile as the fishbowl explodes tuesday night i’m all alone you have to die to be full grown and i can see the bones who would i be if i left it all behind what will i see when i peel away my mind the truth speaks slowly, my thoughts go rushing past i reach to touch my soul, but the drugs kick in at last wednesday morning and i’m aching the cracks are putty-filled i splinter when breaking apart wednesday morning the fire’s gone out they took the certain and left the doubt too high to see no one i think is in my tree too high to see there’s all of you and all of me too high to see too high to see too high to see the world falls back to shades of grey

STILL LIFE home again that cruel ‘lectricity again the pressure bearing down a frozen explosion drives you inside again a place to hide in crashing chords and melodies an ode to thurman munson two shelves of science fiction home again that cold incinerator the web behind the looking glass frustration beats like a drum again anger comes bloody knuckle smelling salts and shame shoveling earth holding up the wall loyalty above all never welcome no one is ever welcome kill yourself in quiet and protect our world home again a child become a man your children won’t ever have to hide again you moved up and away but still you’re home again i’m home again let it all fall down

BEHIND THE BLUE we enter upside down
we exit underground
there’s just a moment’s air
still we care we’re all inside alone
waiting by the phone
though it never rings
still we sing there’s only there
because we’re here
and the we
is me everyone is one
and you are too
everyone is me
everyone is you we rise and fall
like juggling balls
we stare up at the sky
we know we’ll never fly
still we try we live in dreams
nothing’s as it seems
we’re all out of control
bless my soul everyone is one
and you are too
everyone is me
everyone is you everyone is one
and so are you
woe is me
and woe is you everyone is one
everyone is too
everyone is me
everyone is you everyone is one
and so are you
everyone is me
behind the blue
hidden by the blue

GHOST STORY a broken heart, a valentine half-remembered details of another life a checkered scarf, an apple tree, the lavender bouquet on your gray-green vanity, my fraying sanity, cross my heart and throw away the key. a whipping post, a melody, distracts me from subtracting from what used to be us minus you is me a loyal friend, a home betrayed fresh cemented feelings show the holes you made filled with vodka and lemonade, but I can’t drink your judgment away i can still hear you say: “why does it always have to be you and me against the world?” a broken heart, a starting line, half-forgotten details of another life

Cry 04:54 video
CRY what can i do? what can i say? when i’m with you i want to stay now that you’re gone, there’s only me i’m all alone, how can this be? i think i’m gonna cry it’s hard to say goodbye i tried to hate you, i laughed in your face you couldn’t wait to leave my place i made a mistake, i’m begging you, “please” just give me one break, can’t you see that i’m on my knees i think i’m gonna cry i just can’t say good bye what can i say? what can i do? it feels like today yesterday was with you there’s no more hope, can’t make a sound at the end of my rope i’ll just be here hanging around i think i’m gonna cry i guess this be goodbye i think i’m gonna cry so hard to say goodbye

LOST AND FOUND everybody plays the fool when falling down every dog and every day the lost and found a sweater red a lonely ked a sound in a battered cardboard box a useless key you sift and turn and look where can it be? a book of poems noise reduction phones and me where can it be? carousel me homeward turning old and gray over rooftops roaming far away we’re falling down you’ll come and down I’ll follow everybody plays the fool while underground everybody’s digging through the lost and found diamond ring a ball of string winding up winding down there you go again there you are alone with me together lonely all that comes around and all that runs away and all that makes you me at the bottom of the bottom a tinfoil bird a dying word unheard

(PUMP UP THE) VALIUM fire cracks the sky bleeding north and spilling south slowly burning its way to the ground the wind worries in punches dusk in the mouth rushing mad through the branches a song without sound fate’s fickle fingers stick her pins in the dark and needles of light sparkle out the moon pulls the tides guides the blood through my heart leaves me dangling suspended between fever and doubt pump up the valium pull down the shade life is unkind and you’re slipping away once upon a time it was happily ever after and ever after’s been nothing but pain you huffed and you puffed and you blew out the headlights kept your foot on the pedal we sped through the rain the heater’s on high still i’m numb to the bone when i stand it’s just like lying down i’ve got so much to tell you but i can’t find the phone or the floor or my fingers through all this spinning around pump up the valium… i open my eyes and consider the ceiling try to guess if it’s day or it’s night you left me the bed but you burned all the blankets my cold comfort your licorice spite i float to the kitchen try to manage some eggs and pretend that i wanted them scrambled then on to the couch and a world where i don’t miss you as i count out the cure then forget i count out the cure and forget i count out the cure pump up the valium…

about

Monday Songs mixes the warmth of the early 70's with the immediacy of today. Each track has the emotional depth and dramatic focus of a short story - mixing the vulnerability of Songs in the Key of Life, the earthy simplicity of McCartney's Ram, and the cinematic eye of Randy Newman. Andy Liotta's debut is a true solo album in the strictest sense: He composed and arranged all the music, wrote every lyric, played every instrument, sang every vocal, and even mixed the final recording. Andy also put together a music video for every song on the album. It's a record that can be listened to from beginning to end...and back to the beginning. It just might be the best album you've never heard.
