PRIVATE MUSIC
I have a job to do
You have one, too
But what we do best
That has to wait
For the shadows and the night
No one in sight
To hear this private music
I have this friend
Everyone loves him
They meet the two of us
And then, and then
They stay friends with him
But that's okay
I have the shadows
Where I can dream
Dream and play
Turn off the TV
Let the world do what it does
Dim the lights
This good night
Tune in
To this private music
But getting these thoughts
Out of my head
And into the world
That's been, that's been
That's been difficult for me
And who's really waiting
To hear what some other guy thinks?
And getting these feelings
Here in my body
Somehow available
That's been, that's been, that's been, that's been
That's been painful and confusing
Are you here with me now?
Ooh
Turn off the TV
Let the world do what it does
Douse the lights
This good night
Tune in, tune in
Tune in to this private music
Down at the beach
Children are playing
They spin in circles,
Spin round, spin round, spin round
And run to the surf
Only a few
Wait by the tide pool
To see what might crawl from the rocks
And I have a job to do
You have one too
But what we do best
That has to wait
For the shadows and the night
No one in sight
To heard this private music

Pocket Shelley San Francisco, California
Pocket Shelley is the desultory project of songwriter and keyboard player Michael Mullen, who is also the co-writer of the Size Queens and has collaborated with a number of (at the time) San Francisco-based musicians on their own projects.
Pocket Shelley recommends:
Consumption Work: Tammy, Cybertariat, At The Aral Sea
by The Size Queens
Okay, I co-wrote all the songs and played a bunch of instruments on all Size Queens releases. But lyricist Adam Klein is a genius! Opinions differ as to the best record, but I do love our Tammy.

The Incorrigible Danny Pearson sings the hermit's remonstrances
by Clodhopper / Danny Pearson
Danny was the bass player in American Music Club, and is a great songwriter in his own right. I played keyboards on a couple of tracks on this, but why not listen to Brothers, which I didn't play on?

The Graceless Age
by John Murry
John is a unique talent. Little Colored Balloons and Southern Sky deservedly got a lot of press, and it was my privilege to have played piano on both. #10 in Mojo Magazine's Top 50 albums of 2013.

A fascinating, appealing record no less “weird” than the rest of her oeuvre, but certainly the most weirdly versatile.
