Daniel Brouse writing the song Occupy The Holidays

And, I’m starting to wonder
What will become of you
Now that the holidays
Are due

Will you survive
Will you make it through
Please be alive

Thanksgiving’s coming
Christmas, too
Giving way
To a new year

Will you be roaming
Far or near
Will you be lost
Or, will you be here
Thawing the frost

Writing the song at City Hall, Broad and Market, Philadelphia, PA

Did you sleep through the alarm?
Were you anticipating
No Harm?
The world transpiring
While you control
The switch

You didn’t move
You didn’t twitch
You didn’t love
You’re the witch

You didn’t move
You didn’t twitch
You didn’t love
You’re the which

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written about the Fall Season and Halloween. Is it ironic that Fall is called fall? There is that sense of death. The leaves die and FALL of the trees. Maybe the feeling of death and rebirth has something to do with the customs of Halloween and costumes.

Superstitious .MP3 Download And Lyrics

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written about the superstition and Halloween.

“Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It began as a Celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. For these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.” — History.com

“Superstition is a credulous belief or notion, not based on reason, knowledge, or experience. The word is often used pejoratively to refer to folk beliefs deemed irrational. This leads to some superstitions being called “old wives’ tales”. It is also commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, prophecy and spiritual beings, particularly the irrational belief that future events can be influenced or foretold by specific unrelated prior events.

The etymology is from the classical Latin superstitio, literally “a standing over”, hence: “amazement, wonder, dread, especially of the divine or supernatural” The word is attested in the 1st century BC, notably in Cicero, Livy, Ovid, in the meaning of an unreasonable or excessive belief in fear or magic, especially foreign or fantastical ideas. By the 1st century AD, it came to refer to “religious awe, sanctity; a religious rite” more generally.” — Wikipedia.org

Fear It .MP3 Download and Lyrics

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
– Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR)

ABOUT THIS SONG
The FDR quote always seemed a little strange to me. After all, what else can you fear? Fear isn’t sweet. Fear isn’t sour. Fear is fear.

Halloween is a time of year when you get to think about fear. If you think about all the frightening things, the thing that should be feared the most is probably human. Humans kill humans. Humans kill their habitat. Maybe we should be a little afraid of what we are doing? Maybe the quote should be “The only thing we have to fear is fear ourself”?
