about

Then there is a sort of fun intermezzo in the veracity of tone, one moment the world is on Abe's shoulders, the next heís relaxing enjoyin' it all in "Easy Life", despite its sort of ironic understanding of those who take advantage of him, ultimately the realization is positive, and one reflects on their own participation in helping to make the world a better place.

Others have likened his vocal style to Lou Reed, perhaps due to the barely affected tone he possesses while singing lines on "Easy Life" like "They bank on my apathy, they bank on my willing ignorance."

lyrics

I 'd like to live an easy life [A - E / B]
I’d like to take it all inside [A - E / B]
the lighter shift of brighter sides [A - E / B]
Could take it as an easy life [A - E / B]

And they bank on my apathy [F# - E / B]
They bank on my willing ignorance [F# - E / B]
If I’m Sitting Back, Sitting Back [F# - E / B]
Learning nothing about it myself [A - E / B]
Saying nothing about it myself [A - E / B]
Doing nothing about it myself [A - E / B]

I 'd like to live an easy life [A - E / B]
I like the place when we arrive [A - E / B]
Till shifting light from brighter signs [A - E / B]
Will take it on an easy life [A - E / B]

And they bank on my apathy [F# - E / B]
They bank on my willing ignorance [F# - E / B]
If I'm Sitting Back, Sitting Back [F# - E / B
Learning nothing about myself [A - E / B]
Saying nothing about it myself [A - E / B]
Doing nothing about it myself [A - E / B]

That's how we got here [E - D / B]
Drifting over the years [D - E / B]
Distraught that even those taking so long to stall [E - D / B]
Saw ghost town's making a place [D - E / B]

They bank on my apathy [F# - E / B]
And bank on my willing ignorance [F# - E / B]
If I'm Sitting Back, Sitting Back [F# - E / B
Learning nothing about myself [A - E / B]
Saying nothing about it myself [A - E / B]
Doing nothing about it myself [A - E / B

Abe's Logic

Abe's Logic is my solo project. There's a variety of styles, kind of a ska funk garage rock with mixtures of voice, guitars, drums, bass, sax, B3, rhodes, piano...and the occasional ukulele. I've made all of this in my studio (meaning that I have a computer ;-) ... more
