  • For a guy who loves to travel around playing music, Devon
    seems to have it made: he’s the bass player for the surging
    folk-punk band “North By Choice.” After years of grinding
    away, they’re finally starting to get their due, playing to bigger
    audiences in new places. When the band hits the big city lights
    of Berlin after their craziest gig yet, Devon knows he’s living
    the dream. That is, until things collapse into an agonizing
    morning after, when Devon begins to question everything.

    The Musician’s Compass: A 12-Step Programme is a hilarious,
    provocative look at life on the road, an adventure littered with
    addiction and depression, punctuated by triumph and hope.

lyrics

Darn That Dream — Stairway to Eleven

What have I done —
Am I the prodigal son?
If I dig my toes into the grass
Will momma still know who I am?

I traded the stars
To play on electric guitars
Dress me up and put me on the stage
Sell a few words on electric page

Talk to me one on one
This machine that I’ve become
What a fool to waste so much time
Chasing fools paradise

Damn that dream
That had me playing Autumn Leaves
Whisper sweet lies, manipulate
Light the fire and congregate


______


Darkness dances on the dimly lit fringes
Of my mind
Just like a black storm cloud
Covers a clear blue sky

I miss my time in nature
Honey, I miss your smell
I’m stuck amongst this glitter and gold
Of a circus carousel

All I can do
Is try and hang on
Through the darkness
See the light break another dawn

I love the smell of a venue
Anticipating a set
The feeling of thundering bass
Pounding with my heart in my chest
