lyrics

Soliloquists of Sound point out in a song that I quite like
That people love when singers get aggressive on the mic
But when you’re yelling in their faces with no music at your back
Those very same people just stare and feel uncomfortable with that
‘Cause attending a small concert filled with radical folk songs
Can make you feel like you’re an activist by just tapping along
And you assume the one that’s singing understands what’s going on
So you don’t really need to worry about all the shit that’s wrong
So go ahead and see that artist play, the one that screams and shouts
About a host of social issues that you’re pretty sure you care about
But just remember that warm feeling that you get when the songs are sung
It’s not sufficient in itself when there’s still work left to be done
It’s not sufficient in itself when there’s still work left to be done
No feeling alright is not enough when there’s still crime perpetrated

about

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
