Regrets? I’ve had a few, but haven’t we all. This song is about wrestling with those and hopefully coming out better on the other side.
This is another tune that’s potentially from a forthcoming release. Footage from the following public domain films at archive.org – “The Magic Circles of Defensive Driving” (1975), “Roads to Romance” (1949), “Visual Perception In Driving – Part 2: Identification” (c1977), “On the Run (Part II)” (1956), and “Mr. Finley’s Feelings” (1956).
LYRICS
Upon reflection
I can see your point of view
But I was just having fun
I meant no offense to you
Now you treat me like a demon on a steeple
If you took all of the stupid things I’ve done
Photographed them, framed them
And then hung them on the wall
This Stupid Hall of Shame
Would be fifty miles long
And I’d like to stop it now
But I really don’t know how
What decisions were the best you ever made
And what decisions were the worst
When you know the right but still decide the wrong
It’s a battle it’s a curse
What decisions were the best you ever made
Are you better at them now
Can your self-reflection give you any worth
Above the deafening din of doubt
If you took every valiant thing you’ve done
Turned them into murals that you burned into the wall
Would they cauterize this lengthy Hall of Shame
‘Coz I’d like to stop it now
But I really don’t know how
Upon reflection
I can see your point of view
But I was just having fun
I meant no offense to you
Now you treat me like a demon on a steeple
