Buckle Down

from Horses Don't Sing Songs by David Power

about

An oldie that I wrote about 3 years ago. Very folksy, been working on it for a while, but I just got my recording stuff figured out. All parts are done by yours truly.

lyrics

~Chorus~
Hey kid, buckle down
you've got a hard road ahead of you.
I know you're gonna wanna quit,
but you've got to power through.
Sometimes you don't know
where you're going until you get there.
Just remember that trying's the only way
to maybe succeed.

And it doesn't sound very cheerful
and it doesn't sound too easy
but if I told you something fluffy
you'd be a fool to believe me.

~Chorus~

And if you fail I'll help to pour the liquor
I'll dance with you at every success.
With a team we'll get to heaven quicker
or at least we'll help to ease the stress.

~Chorus~

about

David Power Galesburg, Illinois

My name is David Power. I play guitar and sing. My influences include Woody Guthrie, Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Dylan, Jeffery Lewis, classic rock, hip-hop, and more.
I've studied classical guitar and know music theory, but I base my style most heavily on Woody Guthrie's folk guitar and simple lyrics.

I've been playing open mics in the Midwest, but cut my teeth at In One Ear in Rogers Park, Chicago.
