Love Is Just A Lie 03:33

Lyrics: Love Is Just A Lie I was leaning on the corner of the bar There was beer spilling on my shoes When I saw her standing there and thought I got nothing to lose I started walking when I see a sketchy dude Walking to her with the same idea So I turn around and order up another beer Now I'm watching their exchange And thinking how they're all the same The girl looks anxious as he tries in vain to change her mind Love is just a lie Something the girls tell each other so that they sleep better at night Even the worst get a taste if you play your cards right Cause love is just a lie You were crying on the corner of my bed when your lover had just run off You were getting over him and I was just getting off I leaned over and I whispered in your ear You know it would feel so good Your heart was broken so I had my way with damaged goods You were on your way to something real and nothing came And when you found out what you couldn't get You settled for me instead Love is just a lie Something the girls tell each other so that they sleep better at night Even the worst get a taste if you play your cards right Love is just a lie I'm in a pack of wolves looking for another deer caught in the headlights Am I a notch on your belt or your shining knight? Cause love is just a lie Love is just a lie Words and music by David Baron From the EP "David Baron" Buy the CD: www.davidbaronmusic.com Download "Love Is Just A Lie" at: www.myspace.com/davidbaron

Standing Still So you tell me everything will be all right When I lost my legs and in my head I’m drowning But can you tell me that I’m going to win this fight When I’m not so sure I have the cure inside of me Distance kills us when it’s within us All my friends in all our stories Oh my god how we worry now That we’ll never work it out I’m feeling lost and a little lonely I think I need love but who am I kidding I better get a grip on myself before I give a little bit to somebody else And I’m so tired of standing still When my mind’s like it’s running on a wheel I feel a little lost and not myself So I guess I better be with somebody else tonight If you see me on the streets out late at night In the parking lots or the crowded spots on Sutter Street Will you walk with me to the closest neon sign Have a drink or two till we get through the barriers we been hiding Cause distance kills us when it’s within us And all my friends in all our stories Oh my god how we worry now That we’ll never work it out I’m feeling lost and a little lonely I think I need love but who am I kidding I better get a grip on myself before I give a little bit to somebody else And I’m so tired of standing still When my mind’s like it’s running on a wheel I feel a little lost and not myself So I guess I better be with somebody else tonight I feel a little lost I feel a little lost I feel a little lost I feel a little lost Words and music by David Baron From the EP "David Baron" Buy the CD: www.davidbaronmusic.com

Kids 05:04

Kids I wanna be a kid again I wanna walk with friends I wanna live without a care in the world I wanna live without my fears and my doubts Will you hold my hand? I wanna be a kid again Oh to be a kid again You try hard to fit in You fail and lose your innocence I was afraid of heights And I tried with all my might To grow up as fast as I can I wanna be a kid again Then sometimes I think back on the days when I ran and cried The days when my hands were tied The ways I escaped Fell so hard on my face almost lead me to suicide And now there’s nowhere to hide It’s only a game I wanna live without my fears and my doubts Like a child safe and warm I wanna be a kid back in my mother’s arms I wanna be a kid again I wanna be a kid again Words and Music by David Baron Buy the CD: www.davidbaronmusic.com

Shadows On The Inside Shelly I’ve been thinking about you When I’m alone in my room just staring at the wall Shelly I’ve been thinking about you How cutting yourself is leaving a mark on us all Shelly I was worried about you How you were drinking away your thoughts till they all disappeared Shadows on the inside Were coming alive Shadows on the inside Came to you that night Shelly I’ve been thinking about you You were probably alone in your room just staring at the wall Today Shelly we crowded around you Outside in the garden covered with leaves from the fall Shelly I’m lost here without you It weighs so heavy on my heart now that you’re gone Shelly I wish I could hold you To tell you I know deep down how it feels all alone in the dark Shadows on the inside Are coming alive Shadows on the inside Are coming alive Where do we go after the snow falls and we’re wrong? I miss you so and I just don’t know if I can hold on Cause shadows on the inside They came and took your life Shadows on the inside came to me tonight Words and Music by David Baron Buy the CD: www.davidbaronmusic.com

Nothing To Fear 04:12

Nothing To Fear I never knew what I was doing when I worked down at Central Park I just kept the meter running till the boss left after dark I been feeling like putty that you play with in the palm of your hand I let you roll me all over and sculpt me into your idea of a man And the bars they’re all closed at 2 a.m. across this town That’s about the time I call you when I want you around I been a little uptight in the meanest way And I been working all night to push you away But I’m ready Yeah I’m ready I kinda thought of myself as someone scared I’m never acting on a moment till I’m prepared But I’m ready Yeah I’m ready I got nothing to fear I’m on my way Nothing to fear I’m on my way Nothing to fear I’m on my way Nothing to fear I’m on my way I was a runner on the racetrack thinking I could do it alone I was a little child crying I don’t need anyone I was a man obsessed with being the best in line Just worried everybody’s in a hurry to leave me behind So when you asked me do I want you and I barely made a sound It was because I thought you’d leave me all alone on the ground I been a little uptight in the meanest way And I been working all night to push you away But I’m ready Yeah I’m ready I kinda thought of myself as someone scared I’m never acting on a moment till I’m prepared But I’m ready Yeah I’m ready I got nothing to fear I’m on my way Nothing to fear I’m on my way Nothing to fear I’m on my way Nothing to fear I’m on my way Words And Music by David Baron Buy the CD: www.davidbaronmusic.com

Say You Mama puts her baby boy to sleep He says he’s so scared of the things he can’t see And she kisses his head and she says There ain’t nothing wrong with that Oh mama, promise me that I never once heard you complain And I remember the day when the call finally came You had both your eyes closed like an angel I stayed there the whole night through I’m still there right next to you You said Say you’ll be right by my side Say you’ll be there when I turn out the light Cause I need you to hold me when I’m in the dark To be in my heart Did you know not a day goes by When I try as hard as I can Because you gave me the strength to be the man that I am So say you’ll be right by my side Say you’ll be there when I turn out the light Cause I need you to hold me when I’m in the dark To be in my heart Say you’ll be right by my side Say you’ll be there when I turn out the light Cause I need you to hold me when I’m in the dark To be in my heart Words and Music by David Baron Buy the CD: www.davidbaronmusic.com

about

Singer-songwriter and pianist David Baron has launched his solo music career with a new self-titled EP. The EP features 6 original tracks that display Baron’s expressive voice over a powerful piano rock sound.

In songs like the bitter rocker “Love Is Just A Lie” and the heartwrenching ballad “Shadows On The Inside”, Baron’s soaring vocals and confessional lyrics capture what it felt like at some of the most important moments in the artist’s life, from growing up as a kid in South Florida to searching for love as a post-grad on the west coast. “They’re the most autobiographical songs I’ve ever written,” says Baron. “It made sense to simply title it David Baron, because every note and every word of these songs says ‘This is who I am.’”

Baron co-produced the EP with Grammy-award winning producer Stephen Short, who discovered Augustana and has worked with such artists as Phil Collins and Remy Zero. The tracks were recorded at Archon Studios in Los Angeles with engineer Aris Archontis.
