about

"I Dare You!" by William Danforth is a motivational classic. If you want to be inspired, read this little book.

I DARE YOU is for the daring few who are headed somewhere. Those afraid to Dare might as well pass it up. It will weary the lazy because it calls for immediate action. It will bore the sophisticated, and amuse the skeptics. It will antagonize others. Some will not ever know what it is all about. It will not be over popular because it calls for courage, swift and daring. But in the eyes of you, one of the priceless few, I trust will come a gleam of battle as you read on. You can be a bigger person than you are and I am going to prove it to you. -adapted from the Author's Preface

lyrics

Cm Bb F F
I dare you to do what you can

Clark Kent became Superman

Things will be harder for some

We can´t all be from Krypton


And if you do what you should

Act just like Superman would

Beware of your kryptonite

Prepare yourself for the fight


You´re living and you´re dying

And you don´t know why

High on hope

Wanna touch the sky

You can sing but you can´t fly

Gotta clear the smoke from your eyes

Old habits are hard to break

Don´t do it for heaven´s sake

Easier to just complain

Than suffer some pain for the gain


Trying half-ass aint no good

Then sayin´ you did what you could

Zen moments they come and they go

Sleep and you´ll miss half the show

Chorus

Old habits sure do break hard

Learning disabled retard

Change is what you don´t know

Dying a little to grow


Living and you´re dying

And you don´t know why

Can´t see what´s

On the other side

Princess, tiger

Black or white

Life is love

Love is blind


I dare you to do what you would

If there were no“if only I could”

Break out of that tired mold

Jump in that water so cold


I dare you to do what you can

Just think of old Superman

I dare you to do what you should

Just like old Superman would

I dare you to do what you will

Remembering all of this still

Every zen moment you spend

Is one baby step in the end



Living and you´re dying and you....

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.
