Experience is the Hardest Teacher

from Deep SHT Part 2 (EP) by SHT Musik

about

This song is based on the expression usually attributed to Benjamin Franklin which is: " Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will learn at no other." or the very similar quote by Oscar Wilde, "Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterward." I have learned oh so many things the hard way that I can personally guarantee you that these words are true.

lyrics

Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his father or his mother.

Don´t know what he´s got until it´s gone.
Don´t know things are going all right till they´ve gone all wrong.
Can´t understand the blues floating in space
Til the cliché becomes touché and slaps his face.

Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his sister or his brother.

Oldest story in the book.
Sad but true. That there´s the hook.
Tell the kids: "love yourself, be yourself, follow your bliss."
Gotta earn a million dollars to learn
That money can´t buy happiness.
They say it can´t buy happiness.
Gotta take their word for it on this.

Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Can´t take it from me
Can´t take it from his father or his mother,
His sister or his brother,
His best friend or his lover.

A fool, a fool.
I was a fool.
A fool, a fool.
I am a fool.

Experience is the hardest teacher
Experience is the hardest teacher
Experience is the hardest teacher
But a fool will learn from no other
Oh no a fool will learn from no other.

about

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain

Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing.
