Artist picture
Mark Walker's debut solo CD, DYSFUNCTIONAL ILLAUREATE, covers a wide range of mood and texture, touching on the hard & angst-ridden to the slow and ethereal. CD
Hey. So this is who I am and what I do: My name's Mark Walker. I write songs, sing and play them. Bass is my main instrument when playing out live, but I also include guitar & drums and some samples & loops for the recorded material. I started playing music as a kid when I lived in Portland, OR, and continued on up in Seattle, WA during the '90's and now I'm continuing here in New York City. Right now I perform as a solo artist, but I'm also looking to get a band together to play out live as well. Feel free to drop a line if you're a guitarist or drummer and want to hook up and play sometime.

Lyrics
Family Tree I'm sitting in the middle of a mediation Flanked by matriarchy on both sides The senseless bickering goes in one ear and out the other A crown achieved by forsaken pride But it's hard to be heard when you're still just a kid You're better off not listening A strict measure loses all of it's reason and rhyme: "Do what I say, not what I do" But I try to do the right thing I just know what's best for me But I'm so sick of this And what this means to me Now I sit and watch the fists fly from a safer distance The matriarchy at each other's throats The ill-communication is a form of retardation Self-denial is their comfort zone And suddenly I've become everybody's best friend They love me now that I'm leaving home A peace-keeper never gets any peace in return So pardon me while I use the door But we don't care, we pretend it's alright... But I try to do the right thing I just know what's best for me But I'm so sick of this And what this means to me But we don't care, we pretend it's alright...
