*opportunity costs* - ☯✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🚀*THE 2ND NATURE*🚀

all i see are missed opportunities
in front of me, more missed opportunities
for as we grow older, the booze makes us bolder
but our hearts become colder…

try again and again
again and a gain gain

VERSE 2:

and all i see are missed opportunities
in front of me, more missed opportunities

i’m raising a toast because i like you the most
i’ll miss another opportunity…
again and again
again and a gain gain…

VERSE 3:

and all i see are missed opportunities
and there will be more missed opportunities
for try as we might, we shall soon say goodnight
you go left, i’ll go right
repeat again and again
again and a gain gain

THEMES

******************************************************************

(had an iphone note from way back when that i didn’t use for title until late march 2012)

i wrote the song during a half-sleepless night while getting ready for an early-saturday-morning guitar center shift

(after drinking vodka and eating a steak dinner before bed)

starts with third floor chadwick dance

(with night streetlight)

and hauerpower flashshots

white jogajungle logo with black backdrop

written in december 2009
(about my dell computer)

(confiding in it as my only friend)

and about the old man…
(and the death of our relationship)

photos of moira and her sisters in silver dress around a christmas tree

pictures of julie heath

based off george gershwin’s “i’ve got rhythm” (1930)

(written/recorded spring 2010)

whistling into camera (watchung basement)

“missed opportunities” written while living in east village while stoned one spring saturday morning in late 2008…

video:

lit lounge gig (november 2010)

jogajungle.com is covered by facebook playlist

(other than that, it’s a good video)
(i was somehow detagged)
(along with kirsten reidler)

(but libertarian bryce is still tagged)

(because i was trying to highlight the harvard TAPs dancers during the spring 2003 concert…)
(in which i performed the music…)

(off 2009 album “dinosaurs”)
(initial inspiration in fall 2008)

i quite like to imagine myself performing to adoring crowds. i’ve never once done this, mind you. but given half a chance, oh what i would do! wearing a shirt that professes my love. stoned only IN my mind. no need to venture outside my mind….

(like dickens “ghost of christmas’ past / present / future”)

implication that this paradise is “what could have been”.

alludes to “taxi driver” finale (1976 film written by paul schrader)

paul schrader
(born 1946 in michigan)

schrader also wrote 1980’s “raging bull” based off Jake LaMotta’s “Raging Bull: My Story”
