Lyrics:
Questions

who makes the rules
who makes the plan
who makes the game
why are so few people
controlling all our fate
why do little babies cry
for their mothers touch
who put you in charge and
who do you think you're so tough

who made the sky high above
I do not know
are the stars part of heaven?
there's so much I don't know
Well I can see the moon
and they say
a man's has walked over there
I wonder if we'll ever find
intelligent life out there?


questions
who said life is fair
who controls our destiny
and problems everywhere
I wonder what the answers are
I wonder why there are more questions

questions
who said losing's right?
if I choose the battle
will you pick up the fight
I need more time figure out
answers to my questions

why do we fight over oil
about God
and are we acting foolish
by believing in a cause
will we lose all hope and faith
can our love stay alive
why must our existence
be such a struggle to survive

Is there a God high above
and in control
can he feel the people suffering
why not spread some joy below
tell me what you see
is there such a thing
it makes me wonder why
I should believe in anything

Is there really a Heaven
with angels all around
is my little girl up there
smiling looking down
can she feel the love we send
and did she get her wings
does she know we miss her
and all those little things

questions
who said life is fair
who controls our destiny
and problems everywhere
I wonder what the answers are
I wonder why there are more questions

questions
who said losing's right?
if I choose the battle
will you pick up the fight
I need more time figure out
answers to my questions

who makes the rules
who makes the plan
who makes the game
who made the sky
who made air

what makes the little children cry
who made the trees
what made the bees
who took the keys to the car
who runs the race
who sets the pace
why do we run so far

why do we lie
why do we steal
why do we do the things we do
why do we hurt
why do we cheat why do we do the things we do

Another great production by the "Sil-VER Bullet". You round up choice
talent and steer them into your Corral of Cool. Very nice singing,
Clarke.

Very interesting lyrics...Almost Dylan like. This is definately
original. My main critisicm is the lack of memorable melody. The
somewhat disjointed rythm track isn't to my taste, but I think
that's more an issue of personal preference than anything else.
Kudos to you though for what is a very interesting and thoughtful
tune.

Another great collab between two artists who work well together ..... A Clarke Luv the vox as usual ..... Of course I am enjoying all the FX (you know I'm a sucker for those). This one sounds like quite the undertaking - great job you two !

Thank you, Alannah! I admit it took some getting used to hearing my voice with
these different effects but won't deny that Silver does an amazing job getting
just the right sound.

Adam, I'm surprised by the very personal lyrics among the more
philosophical musings. Very good singing. Reminds me I need to practice
more, a lot more. :)
Excellent production, Sil-VER.

Excellent Collab &mdash 02/24/06 - 05:03:48 PM
Hey, Mungo! Thanks for the comment- it's interesting that once I heard the
music I knew what the general concept was going to be... even before I had any
idea for the lyrics. I recorded a scratch vocal, just making up lyrics and sounds
to get a feel for the flow. The verse about Kerry came out just the way you hear
it. And now that I think about it more deeply, she was really the source of
inspiration behind all the words... and my questions.

Another Great Song! &mdash 02/24/06 - 07:43:40 AM
Great instrimentation, Great vocals... I'm quite empressed with such a catchy tune Sil-VER and Adam you really have a knack for hearing a melody. Your lyrics hit right home and Yes! She is smiling and looking down. Mat 18 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven". Great art work ziti.

Thanks, John. That means a lot. That was probably the one question I felt knew

excellent &mdash 02/25/06 - 11:18:22 AM
Some bold choices of synth sounds in this, but I believe in making contrasts so the refined stands out from the crude. The groove is kickin', and very well arranged and performed. You have made a dynamic bed for the vocals to play on. Good work on the vocals, both backing and top layer. The synth bed may be a bit overwhelming at places, but thats just my taste:)

Excellent work from both of you!

excellent &mdash 02/26/06 - 08:24:21 AM
Thor- One of the greatest things about working with an artist like Silver is that
he's not afraid to take chances with his music. It's great for someone like me
because it allows one to break out of a normal mode of songwriting and step in
new directions. It's also makes it very easy to find a melody- that I like!

Thanks for the listen and the comment! Greatly appreciated!

Yes, this song has it. I love the result of you two playing around like this, please don't stop. Adam, your singing/song writing shine through. A very nice melody to Sil-Ver's strong and alluring music. Kudos to you both.

This is a good song I would like to listen to others of yours how long have you been recording because I like the sound and think the production is good
Take care

Check my stuff out I should be on her in the next day

good! &mdash 03/02/06 - 04:22:26 AM
Thanks for listening, Jhon. Silver is responsible for the music bed- he has been
involved in music for a very long time. In this song he used his keyboard and all
software instruments- mixed and mastered in Reason, I believe. Vocals were
recorded in Garageband and then mixed by Silver.

It's different &mdash 02/28/06 - 06:45:43 PM
I can't put this into a genre. Congratulations. I like that distortion vox
effect at 1/4. I like the breaks that bring out the vocals. Good job.

Why is this awesome? &mdash 03/03/06 - 10:08:01 AM
It's kinda obvious...

Excellent production, great lyrics, great vocals, very cool beats, nice
buildup (I didn't love the chorus - the verses were excellent, though).

Just to name a few obvious reasons.

Faved and DL-ed!

How many roads...? &mdash 03/29/06 - 08:00:13 AM
Great production, and I dig the Dylan-produced-by-Eno type sound, a
phase Bob must have skipped (or I must have missed). Nice lyrics, great
vocal delivery. Can't even stop asking the questions, searching for the
answers. Really nice track, infectious and laid back, giving it a more
introspective feel than an in-your-face approach would've done.
