by Joe Pisapia

supported by

Todd Leiter-Weintraub Joe's first solo album was my favorite album of that decade. This one, while not quite as outstanding, is still an excellent piece of work. Wonderful folk-tinged pop music that I will keep coming back to.

Beautiful Danger I can feel the pull to beautiful danger I can feel the pull to beautiful danger When I think about ending all the doubt raining on the drought, parting of the clouds emotions reappear No one’s ever known maybe I suppose everyone who’s grown has looked a demon in the eye from time to time And now I see every little care measure and compare wasn’t ever fair and it kept my dares away from beautiful danger How my heart would ache for beautiful danger I can feel the pull to beautiful danger

Feels So Good To Be Understood Maybe it’s the sound of your laugh It makes me feel that someone understands me better than myself Or maybe it’s the look in your eye right before you laugh that makes me high Maybe it’s the way that you look right at me when I start to speak There’s a picture going on in your mind And it feels so good, you took the time And you don’t have to call it love but it’s as good a word as any other And you are like a harmony lifting up this old melody Could you, could you, could you could hear me out like I hoped you would Feels so good Feels so good to be understood And you don’t have to call it love but it’s as good a word as any other And you are like a harmony lifting up this old melody Could you, could you, could you could hear me out like I hoped you would Feels so good Feels so good to be understood I caught you listening Feels so good, feels so good to be understood When you give me all your mind Feels so good, feels so good to be understood When you let me in Feels so good, feels so good to be understood Your ears are like the beat of a drum

Mirror 03:33
Mirror It could go all wrong but that would be alright Barely hanging on is better than the fight Lately all your gestures are awkwardly perceived It’s better than to question Did you give more than receive And if I was a mirror I’d stand up to your face I’d show you all your boldness and show you all your grace Even when you stumble even when you fall You make it look like trouble wasn’t trouble at all And if I was a mirror I’d stand up to your face I’d show you all your boldness and show you all your grace And if I was a mirror I’d stand up to your face I’d show you all your boldness and show you all your grace It could go all wrong But it could go alright You’ll never ever know it Till you just let go and fly

The World Has Lost Its Faith I’ve seen the news, the people hurting every hour of every single day Not much a choice the bread and circus or going down a never-ending maze When I was young in times uncertain trouble seemed so very far away Before my eyes could see behind the curtain I just assumed that good would find its way Now it seems the world has lost its faith We’re so afraid Enemy on every other face Keeps us enslaved And wheres the truth and who’s the trusted? It needs to bleed if it’s gonna read And we’re confused fact or just opinion while making love to tiny little screens And people pine for good old-time religion but leaving out the inconvenient parts like letting go of brotherly suspicion and testify- we’re one with many hearts Now it seems the world has lost its faith we’re so afraid Enemy on every other face keeps us enslaved Now it seems the world has lost its faith we’re so afraid Enemy on every other face keeps us enslaved and stuck in pain we’re so afraid
5.
There But For The Grace Of God I Go He’d give up anything just to share his history No surprise, his joys and pains, same as you and me But on the streets he mostly settles for Here’s some money get yourself something to eat There in his eyes a humanness goes unrecognized More than survive The luxuries of the lucky kind There but for the grace of God I go Before the moment came when you turned and looked away he had favorite bands and books candles on the cake Then thunder struck with a massive blow and so much heavier than the making of his luck There in his eyes a longing just to be recognized More than survive A foolish dream never realized There but for the grace of God I go There in his eyes a humanness goes unrecognized More that survive Ashamed to dare such a rich desire There but for the grace of God I go
6.
The Time Of Your Life This is the time of your life All of this love by your side Don’t waste a thought on the time of the tides And all of the years that pass on by They grow even sweeter in your mind This is the time to begin All that you need is within Don’t waste a thought on being right here yet again I was afraid I’d lose control Don’t be afraid to lose control Don’t let the eyes on the prize keep you from being surprised Perception is what you came to leave behind I was afraid I’d lose control Don’t be afraid to lose control And this is when it all begins to flow as you watch your worries slow And all of the years that pass on by They grow even sweeter in your mind This is the time of your life

Infinite Sky 04:59
Infinite Sky Uscito da un grammofono passato dal microfono ha volato in più di mille città quando la gente lo vede lo sa lui è l’uomo in blu Puoi sentirlo ridere se muoiono le nuvole col sole puoi cantare con lui la canzone nel cielo infinito dell’uomo in blu Somewhere a gramophone is spinning and the needle is delivering a spirit from a microphone It’s an unfamiliar lyric from a dialect from a region in a pinpoint on the sphere of the globe But the music feels like home Everybody’s singing and everybody’s dancing but underneath an infinite sky Clever conversation cannot compete a look in the eye - sublime Everybody’s singing and everybody’s dancing but underneath an infinite sky Clever conversation cannot compete a look in the eye - sublime E vola sotto una luna rosa e nera nuota in cielo e sta contando le case accese dopo la scuola c’è un bimbo che seduto lo aspetta guardando l’ora col naso in su Somewhere a gramophone is spinning and the needle is delivering a spirit from a microphone It’s an unfamiliar lyric from a dialect from a region in a pinpoint on the sphere of the globe But the music feels like home Uscito da un grammofono passato dal microfono ha volato in più di mille città quando la gente lo vede lo sa lui è l’uomo in blu Puoi sentirlo ridere se muoiono le nuvole col sole puoi cantare con lui la canzone nel cielo infinito dell’uomo in blu E vola sotto una luna rosa e nera nuota in cielo e sta contando le case accese dopo la scuola c’è un bimbo che seduto lo aspetta guardando l’ora col naso in su Gli esseri che sanno volare senza bisogno di un’astronave puoi sentirli cantare e ridere prima che il mattino svegli il mondo Uscito da un grammofono passato dal microfono ha volato in più di mille città quando la gente lo vede lo sa lui è l’uomo in blu Puoi sentirlo ridere se muoiono le nuvole col sole puoi cantare con lui la canzone nel cielo infinito dell’uomo in blu Everybody’s singing and everybody’s dancing but underneath an infinite sky Clever conversation cannot compete a look in the eye - sublime Everybody’s singing and everybody’s dancing but underneath an infinite sky Clever conversation cannot compete a look in the eye - sublime E vola sotto una luna rosa e nera nuota in cielo e sta contando le case accese dopo la scuola c’è un bimbo che seduto lo aspetta guardando l’ora col naso in su E vola… E vola…

Rise 03:53
Rise What if I would cease to see the magic If my dreams could last another day What if all the magic blew me open could my world withstand the joy and pain When will I rise and save my soul from the wreckage When will I rise and save my soul forever What if I could learn to change my enemies Would it mean that I could change my heart If I found forgiveness for my memories maybe I would find the place to start When will I rise and save my soul from the wreckage when will I rise and save my soul forever If my dreams could last another day When will I rise and save my soul from the wreckage when will I rise to save my soul forever If my dreams could last another day could my world withstand the joy and pain

Better Friends I wish that we were better friends just like we were, all over again I wish that we were better friends just like we were all over again Words that were spoken They left a mark I wish we could go back Back to the start I’d undo a moment Cancel a day So you wouldn’t hear What I wouldn’t say Ooh can we get back from the making amends Ooh can we get back to the happiness Are we the pages In a book near the end Or can we get back to the happiness I wish that we were better friends Just like we were all over again I with that we could have one more try I like the world with you on my side When you saw me angry what you didn’t see was that I was afraid I felt incomplete Trying to make good in these humbling times sometimes makes a man weary, impatient, unkind Ooh can we get back from the making amends Ooh can we get back to the happiness Are we the pages in a book near the end or can we get back to the happiness

Nashville Melancholia Never got accustomed to your August weather or your lack of evergreens When I thought of leaving though my heart would tether Nostalgia always intervenes And you make me stay you pull me under your sway I love your melancholy days and meandering ways about you You draw me in again and again All the good people I know don’t take the undertow for granted Innocence and 40 as a two-lane highway Country Life at quarter to three All the pretty girls at the Sunshine grocery Angels had your back when you’d sing You still turn me on All of these memories fond I love your melancholy days and meandering ways about you You draw me in again and again all the good people I know don’t take the undertow for granted Let’s sing a song for all our good friends All the good people I know Sweet memories and happiness And here comes the autumn rain and I’m drawn in once again You still turn me on So many memories fond I love your melancholy days and meandering ways about you You draw me in again and again all the good people I know don’t take the undertow for granted all the good people I’ve met don’t take the kismet for granted

Far Far Away 03:52
Far Far Away If we saw the truth it would blow us down to dust without a pause So for now it’s probably safer that we’re lost Far far away from the sense of peace and harmony we don’t know why it has to be so strange and if we’re only strangers fighting for our lives Why do we melt when we see each others’ eyes If we felt the love that hides behind our own imaginings We’d probably fall to pieces in a blink Far far away from a sense of equanimity we don’t know why it has to be so dark and if we’re only strangers fighting for our stake why is the heart so prone to break Far far away From compassion and understanding We tire that it has to be so hard What if we saw the Truth That the is that lives in me Is the is that lives in you
