[Song] – How Many Times? – Manic Joy

Sometimes I’ll find inspiration on Twitter. In this case, it came in the form of a link on Twitter from playwright, performer and blogger – Callie Kimball.  (Follow @calindrome on Twitter.)

After reading one of the posts in her, This Is Not a Memoir series, I decided to pull a few choice words from the post and write this song.

I explore a duality with the lyric. Is it a struggle with a real world relationship, or one with your own mind?

Enjoy!

How Many Times?
By Dave Charest

It starts with disruption
If only to get me outside of my head

Push back those feelings
A voice from my bed

The struggle continues
I forget what she said

What if I left you?
Unraveled the thread

How many times?
How many times?

‘Fore it stops being round
If only I knew you

I’d get out of this sound
