3HSW I host a 3 Hour Song Writing group with my friend Chris Winters (SickTransit), which meets once a week in my living room. Each night we write, practice and record a song, using drums loops. We write the music, chords and lyrics in three hours. I usually play bass and fill in whatever other insturments or lyrics that are needed on each track. Chris Winters plays the masterful electric guitar on most the songs, sings on quite a few and writes lyrics as well—he posts some solo stuff at SickTransit on MacJams. Everything is recorded in my modest living room studio and remixed by myself or sometimes Chris. Contributors to the project have included (Chris Winters, Barbara Burgio, Mike Northcutt, Greg Ryan, Anna Huckabay, Korey Foss, Aditi Viyasgar, Nick Barrett, Meagin Donavan and Steve Craig, echoroom on Macjams.

Rise

Lyrics and Vocals: Nick Barrett
Music: Rich Huston

Get up, get up
Mmm, rise up

All the time that you’ve been wasting,
All the years that passed us by,
You act so apathetic, hide

"Stay the course” you won’t regret it,
Ultimate authority,
Everything is copasetic,
Rise up,

ohhh

All that we see on TV, I guess that’s just what bothers me
Turn it off and you will see, find the thoughts inside of me
CNN and NBC, its all the same, its crap to me
Control your mind and you will see, feel your will and set it free
Set it free

All the stories that you’ve been telling,
All the time that you deny,
Your words are so pathetic, lies
Stay the course you won’t regret it,
Ultimate authority,everything is copasetic, rise

Get up, get up
Rise up

All the time that you’ve been wasting,
All the years that passed us by,
You act so apathetic, hide

"Stay the course” you won’t regret it, ultimate authority,
everything is copasetic, rise up,

Make your choice, get off the fence
And don’t give into influence
Pointing fingers in defense, our Prez is lacking evidence
Don’t be scared of dissidence, despite his lack of competence
Unjust war it makes no sense, all leads to a consequence

All the stories that you’ve been telling, all the time that you deny
Your words are so pathetic, lies
"Stay the course” you won’t regret it, ultimate authority,
everything is copasetic, rise...
