Where the Heart Is

from Guest House by PAWL

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Piano/Rhodes driven indie pop; with guitars, violins, and driving percussion. PAWL would describe it as "cinematic pop" -- songs that tell stories and are, at once, catchy, fun, and at times, serious- but never whiny. Arrangement inspired as much by indie pop/rock as Burt Bacharach, Guest House doesn't try to copy the newest trends in independent or popular music; it delivers its own unique combination of classic and modern sounds. PAWL's songwriting draws inspiration from all over the map: from the late Johnny Cash, Elliott Smith, and Nick Drake -- to modern artists such as the Sea and Cake, Beck, Spoon, and Broken Social Scene. For the price of an extra fancy coffee, buy this album- you won't be disappointed.

lyrics

If you wanna be a star
And you wanna go real far
There’s a price to be reckoned with
Money will always be part of it!
Unless you starve for the art of it
And you’re apropos

Your friends say it won’t be long
Just make a record and market that song
Or hit the road in a tour van
The kids have no attention span!
Out of gas in the passing lane breeds
Artistic pain!

You’ve got to hit em where the heart is
It’s time to change that song
Rewrite and hit em where their heart was
We’re singing all day long
You’ve got to hit em where the heart is (Alternate vocals-higher pitch)
Even if yours is gone
Record and lock it to the beat cause
We’re singing all day long

you phone your agent
pitching dance hall punk
he says, that won’t sell
that won’t sell anymore
your friend’s gone commercial
well ain’t that the luck
his songs are featured with coke and fries
he’s got no arty alibis anymore

CHORUS

you phone your agent
pitching white boy funk
he says, that won’t sell
that won’t sell anymore
your mom’s gone commercial
well ain’t that the luck
her songs are touted by talk show fakes
she won’t pay your rent or bake you cakes anymore


CHORUS
