Pretty self-explanetory. I wanted to do a poppy little tune, but still felt obligated to make the words super-depressing to make up for the upbeat element of the music. Check the tribute to "Blue Moon" in the guitar solo.

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
Goodbye Jenny I can't help but notice that we've become A breeding ground for contempt and despise Your blackened eyes and the scars I hold in my arms All misgiving to the words of the wise Now something we all see comes from you... We came together and created the beautiful But this blessing was a burden to be This body's mine and I'll do damn well as I please But what's inside of you is still half of me Now something we all see comes from you... So goodbye Jenny, hello grief I wear my insides like a wreath I know we said it's best this way So goodbye now, just go away Battle-weary, we see where it is we stand We can't recover from the loss of our child I'm haunted by a ghost between you and me The screaming voice that was never alive Now something we all see comes from you... So goodbye Jenny, hello grief I wear my insides like a wreath I know we said it's best this way So goodbye now, just go away We both made a promise that we're not going to fight But that was yesteryear... Now we're both beaten down with no end in sight So much for yesteryear... Just say my piece, then a quick release Is all that I can do The ones who truly will appreciate life the most Are those who suffer through So goodbye Jenny, hello grief I wear my insides like a wreath I know we said it's best this way So goodbye now, just go away You're someone we all see
