about

Billy Carl: This is one of those songs where I was feeling a bit sorry for myself. You know, wondering what it's all about. Thinking that maybe I'd be the only one to ever hear any of the songs I'd written. And who cares anyway right? I went through a period of writing songs about this subject but try to keep most of them out of sight. This one has a nice crunchy yet melodic sound. And, while in the studio recording the song with our rhythm section du jour (Rick Calcagni & Jim Clements) we just kind of spontaneously broke into an extended Latin groove at the end that I really dug.

lyrics

Rest of My Life
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

It’s becoming hard to see
The way I should be
Have I come this far along
For nothing but a song?
I thought it would be easy
I was wrong.
I thought it would release me
But it won’t and I go on and on and on……

I’m hearing and seeing and feeling the things in my heart
But these things don’t matter to a world that is falling apart
So maybe I’ll sing for myself
For the rest of my life

So far in this life I’ve beat
My head on the wall
Just to find someone to meet
Who’ll give me a call
So why do I continue?
I don’t recall.
My ego is black and blue
But I still go on and on and on and on…..
