about

This week’s assignment comes from Clay and is short and to the point:
"one word: rock”

The only thing rock & roll about this is that it was done in one take.

lyrics

It sounds like broken glass in a thunderstorm
It sounds like butterflies in the sun
The noise of 1,000 weak men
Realizing that they're strong
The painful sigh as the gun goes off
The silent smirk as you fall
The restless scream of integrity
To be genuine, after all
--- This is what rock & roll sounds like

It looks like dinner suits & biker boots
It looks like sunsets in a field
You're digging up dirt in a mini-skirt
Your soul bare & revealed
When you look like you'll fall or hit the wall
You watch your spirit rise
Might be a song, might not last long
Something we recognize
--- This is what rock & roll looks like

It feels like habit or a ritual
It feels like burning down the wire
If you love it, it might get physical
If you love it, you will inspire
Some days you wait for the world to start
You're bracing for the fall
Like feathers in your big brass bed
Or you're racing the wrecking ball
--- This is what rock & roll feels like
