about
The third in a "once a month or so" series of tracks from TCSO, a hard rocker called "Nobody Knows", which sees the founding members of The Feckers reuniting for the first time since that album's release in 2013, with lyrics here being written by Richard Anderson, and the music by Chris Szkup.
Featuring Mathew Szkup (guitar), Rob Lundgren (vocals) and Dennis Leeflang (drums and mix) alongside Chris Szkup (guitars and bass), this song was once upon a time going to be included on a 2nd album by The Feckers, however when those plans were halted due to life getting in the way, Chris was very keen to still have the song be heard and released, especially with a new ensemble that he felt could do good justice to the track. The rhythm guitar track on the left hand side is Mathew Szkup, while on the right is Chris, which is "a mark of respect" says Chris - it seemed like when we were growing up that all the great rhythm players in the metal bands we were listening to would usually be panned to the left hand speakers, and anytime a riff would "break down" to introduce a song or so forth, it would always be panned to the left hand side. "As I owe a great deal to my brother in terms of rhythm playing, it felt right to have him panned left on the songs he plays on" says Chris.
Once again, mastering on this track was done by Andy VanDette at Engineroom Audio in NYC, while artwork was done by Dan Verkys.
All of these songs will gradually be revealed as time (and finances) allow, and when complete, will form a "collection" type album which will be available on the usual digital outlets and on the store at www.cs-songs.com however until completion, the best and fastest way to purchase the songs as they are released will be right here on bandcamp. You also have the option to throw in a little tip if you desire and pay more than the listed price for the song. This will help future songs be released faster, however this is completely optional, and you can even just listen to the songs in full for free and not buy at all - up to you!

LYRICS:
Are you lookin' for love?
Are you lookin' for peace?
Are you livin' thru pain?
Are you ill at ease?
Do you look in the mirror?
And not like what you see
Are you granted patience?
Or is your mind stranded in apathy?
Nobody knows - what it is to be you
Nobody knows - how you see real truth
Nobody knows - all the things you've seen
Nobody knows - how you face your dreams
Maybe arrogance has you in its grasp
Maybe karma's gonna kick your ass
With four letter words and a flick of the wrist
We all have ways of gettin' our kicks
If it don't make you strong
Then it might only do you in
If you're stranded by fear
Or are succumbing to sin
Nobody knows - what you do to win
Nobody knows - if you will rise again
Nobody knows - what games you've played
Nobody knows - if you mean what you say
Are you a lover?
Searchin' for a friend
Do you fight with yourself?
To overcome your pretence
Are you playin' games?
Are you takin' it all in?
Are you dicin' in facts?
Or faking a grin?
Are you finding courage?
Are you dyin' slow?
Are you held in contempt?
Of these things that you don't know
Are you a dreamer?
A do-er or unaware?
Are you re-settin' the logic?
Or tryin' not to care?
Maybe arrogance has you in its grasp
Maybe karma's gonna kick your ass
With four letter words and a flick of the wrist
We all have ways of gettin' our kicks
Are you lookin' for love?
Are you lookin' for peace?
Are you livin' thru pain?
Are you ill at ease?
Do you look in the mirror?
And not like what you see
Are you granted patience?
Or is your mind stranded in apathy?
Nobody knows - what it is to be you
Nobody knows - how you see real truth
Nobody knows - all the things you've seen
Nobody knows - how you face your dreams
Maybe arrogance has you in its grasp
Maybe karma's gonna kick your ass
With four letter words and a flick of the wrist
We all have ways of gettin' our kicks
If it don't make you strong
Then it might only do you in
If you're stranded by fear
Or are succumbing to sin
Nobody knows - what you do to win
Nobody knows - if you will rise again
Nobody knows - what games you've played
Nobody knows - if you mean what you say
Are you a lover?
Searchin' for a friend
Do you fight with yourself?
To overcome your pretence
Are you playin' games?
Are you takin' it all in?
Are you dicin' in facts?
Or faking a grin?
Are you finding courage?
Are you dyin' slow?
Are you held in contempt?
Of these things that you don't know
Are you a dreamer?

Are you re-settin' the logic?

Maybe arrogance has you in its grasp
Maybe karma's gonna kick your ass
