Justin Townes Earle (born January 4, 1982 in Nashville, Tennessee) is an American musician. Earle is signed to Bloodshot Records and has five released albums from 2007–2012. He resides in New York City's East Village.
Justin Townes Earle grew up in South Nashville, Tennessee, with his mother, Carol Ann Hunter Earle. His father is musician Steve Earle. Justin Townes Earle says he was "hooked on drugs" when he was barely 12 years old, and developed a serious addiction by the late 1990s. In his teens he began playing and singing with two different Nashville bands, a rock band called the Distributors and a bluegrass-influenced acoustic combo, the Swindlers. Earle spent some time as guitarist and keyboardist for his father's touring band the Dukes, but was fired after a dangerous appetite for drugs began interfering with his performances. Once he came off hard drugs, he began putting a new focus on his music and songwriting.
Earle presently tours heavily and played Newport Folk Festival, 2011, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival (2008, 2011), Grand Ole Opry (March 2008), Historical WSM, South By Southwest (2008–2010, 2012), the historic Beacon Theater (May 2009), Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion (September, 2009), Bonnaroo (2009) Bumbershoot (2010), the East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival (Byron Bay, Australia), 2012 and the Bowery Ballroom (March 2010) with Chicago-based singer/songwriter Joe Pug. In the summer of 2009, Earle co-billed The Big Surprise Tour with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Old Crow Medicine Show, and The Felice Brothers. In May 2010, he appeared alongside his father in an episode of the HBO television series Treme.
Randall Stuart "Randy" Newman (born November 28, 1943) is an American singer-songwriter,arranger, composer, and pianist who is known for his mordant (and often satirical) pop songs and for film scores.
Newman often writes lyrics from the perspective of a character far removed from his own experiences, sometimes using the point of view of an unreliable narrator. For example, the 1972 song "Sail Away" is written as a slave trader's sales pitch to attract slaves, while the narrator of "Political Science" is a U.S. nationalist who complains of worldwide ingratitude toward America and proposes a brutally ironic final solution. One of his biggest hits, "Short People" was written from the perspective of "a lunatic" who hates short people. Since the 1980s, Newman has worked mostly as a film composer. His film scores include Ragtime, Awakenings, The Natural, Leatherheads, James and the Giant Peach, Meet the Parents, Cold Turkey, Seabiscuit and The Princess and the Frog. He has scored six Disney-Pixar films: Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Cars and most recently Toy Story 3.
Confusions born here every day
Spinning circles upon my brain
No idea which way to go
Roam around without a home
So fucking lost, invalidated
So brought down demasculated
All the joy just disappeared
Another bed full of tears
Hope dissolved, degenerated
The negative has penetrated
No wish for sympathy
It's all a mystery to me
Coming apart at the seams
Wanna be alone for the rest of my years
Don't come inside
Leave it to me to go on unfortunately
Unfortunately
Confusions born here every day
Spinning circles upon my brain
No idea which way to go
Roam around without a home
All my wishes evaporated
Insecurities saturated
So many flaws reappeared
The wrong way I tend to steer
Coming apart at the seams
Wanna be alone for the rest of my years
Don't come inside
Leave it to me to go on unfortunately
The room is dark, it's quiet, peaceful like a wasteland forest, say
A bloodred light shines on the walls of your apartment
As you step into the room
And you can't hear the sound of laughing from your friends
Downstairs, cause then you'd bother all too much
When you're sitting down, you hear a knocking on your door
And Anemone comes in
She tells you once again to reflect over your heart and feelings
Well, here you go again
Losing all support, the devil's wisdom comes and
Turns your heart to stone, so cold...
And you know It doesn't have to be
So unfortunately, It's just that
You don't have to be, So unfortuned Nataly
Anemone is asking questions to the viper in your mind
She puts her arms around you, Death is all too near
Suddenly the picture is changing
Feel like going somewhere else
The need of strangers comfort will push away your fear
Don't you think that someone knows and do you think
That noone ever cares
Once more the room is quiet, The black dress lies
On the floor, Anemone puts on her veil and walks gently
To the door
You lie in silence upon the bed, You see her
Shining light and you know
You will close the door behind
You scream out loud, You feel the pain is fading out
And once again the room is dark
And you know it doesn't have to be
So unfortunately
And you don't have to be, So unfortuned Nataly
