Losers Game 04:29
Dream I had of this day All I need so far away Can’t hold on to what I have Need the peace to hold to the plan Mary said I want it all I just need a place to call Never tried to run away I needed time and the world to change All that you take, eat your mistake Taking my time, breaking my spine I was gone down into… I wanted but I just couldn’t choose Mary’s gone and I can’t respond All that you take, eat your mistake Losing my time, breaking my spine I was gone down into… I wanted but I just couldn’t choose I was gone down into… A wanting that I just didn’t choose Mary’s gone and I can’t respond

You wanted it simple and you wanted me true The words came out easy like a hunger from you Changed my existence, put your marks in my skin And said you staked your claim The blood that dripped from your name Eight letters forever stained You wanted it easy and needed it fast The kindness of strangers always made you laugh Gave me responses when I never asked You loved to play pretend A secret you never hid A time I’ll soon not forget You’ve got a wandering mind A wandering mind for sale Nothing close to any real kind of love And now everything’s for sale It’s tearing my heart It’s so easy to do You gave me all lies and swore they were true Baby I shouldn’t cry I know now I should’ve ran You gave it away An emotional man

You had your luck but it’s run dry The truth is a game we played based on a lie What is done can’t be changed What’s said can’t be erased No place for regret You gave your love to me could you have known Pain and suffering shared the rooms in our home Would you go the other way And live for the day That we’d never met There’s always a price The joy and pain in my life What’s in it for me If I can’t be free? I can’t go on it’s too hard to try Always something you need I could never buy A little goes a long way Well that’s what they say When needs have been supplied Where’s the relief in this For my last wish There were things I took for granted now I miss I can’t bear to find the place To see all the waste Our love and its divide Give up on all this useless mess You said it’s so easy but I can’t forget By myself alone I don’t want to know You not in my home it hurts so bad There’s always a price – The joy and pain in my life All I want to do is hold you in my ever loving arms

God Given 05:43
And you know its God given A way for all you had and all you want. The illusion seemed so final, Whole worlds torn apart I was given away for nothing cause’ you wanted and I could It’s the love that I found wanting something never understood And it’s good what you want from me and should It’s the thing I know is good and you know I want it too but it’s nothing that we do Like a moral that wasn’t true All the selfish things we do and I keep on hurting you and you know I can’t take it, know I can’t take it You got all you want baby Come along Come and make it yours Cause’ you want Go and lose your all Come through the fire World is groaning In the fire And it’s good And it’s true Come to Gonna’ do And it’s good Come to Gonna’ do And it’s true

Go and be that guy who can’t explain No calls and the walls you must see are your own brain No eyes care to see No light No height No sympathy Take this lighted torch and raise the flame Burn you must, the heart that bears your name No eyes care to see No eye No high Nothing My life No walls for us No sympathy And I wanted you you didn’t want me Broken and confused You left it with me Said I’m so bad
6.
Did you find what you came for? This broken body on the floor Promises and good intentions Just too bad every word was nothing more. Cannot last and don’t belong Dare not breathe what’s been done Never knew to question Abused my mind Words proved to be unkind All I am Broken and can’t stand Hide my aching head I dream for the day to feel again In love & trouble…

about

Songs of confession and of hope written to be listened to alone or in the presence of a loved one, Dark Little Rooms is a scream in the dark and a whisper from the heart propelling the songs of Scott Crowder from bedroom to barroom and back again. Dark Little Rooms has hijacked the Plastic Ono Band at gun point and taken them to Memphis 1966, California 1975 and Liverpool 1982. Following in the traditions of Stax Records, the Brill Building period, the Dark Little Rooms raises its metaphorical hand, carrying the torch of passion, reuniting the holy and unholy once again.

"I can't help but think of gospel music when the vocals really soar and the piano and guitars go along. The songs themselves are not gospel, but the emphasis of the music and the intensity feels like gospel at times. At the foundation though, Dark Little Rooms is moody pop, driven by strong vocals, piano and a sense of style that seems to be missing from indie rock for perhaps a decade or two. Nice stuff.
--Delusions of Adequacy

"After (Scott) Walker came David Bowie and Bryan Ferry. After them Nick Cave, and then Rufus Wainwright. Every musical generation reinvents the barroom ballad...But the apparent difference between Crowder and his predecessors, to judge from the band's EP, is a refusal to wallow. Transcendence sounds right around the corner."
--Washington Post-Express
