I Know We've Got to Try
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
©2021 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP

There’s a lot of trouble in the world—you don’t have to look for it—you don’t have do a single thing—sitting on the bed—before your feet touch down—you’re blank before the battle now—empty of predictions of the mind—you’re nowhere at all--it’s easy now just let life slip away

But I say—I know—I know we got to try—I know—I know we got to. . .
Leaving home and walking out the door
The famous moon in solitude
clouds lit at their edge in black night sky
Quiet in the street,
With people still asleep
We’re trying to find our betterment
We’re trying to do more than to just get by
So ready or not--
I don’t know if we’ll make it more than that

We believe we’ll always stay
But interruptions come our way. . .

—but I say—I know—I know we got to try—I know—I know we got to

We have all been living in a dream
Delicately pink appears
It's quiet in the streets around the town
I have seen your eyes
Awakened by the real
The timeless and continuous
Something always was and wants to be
Our will gets so weak
We may not find what we seek

—but I say—I know—I know we got to try—I know—I know we got to. . .

Devil's Luck EP
by The Varlets

If metal sounded less like Spinal Tap, it would all sound like this. These guys are individually hugely talented, and collectively fantastic. And they are really nice people. Who better to support? Michael Silverstone

Ready Or Not

Voice that reminds me how clean and cold the melted snow fed in the backcountry woods on top of Rocky Mountain National Park was in July when I camped there right after graduating from high school. Michael Silverstone
