Lyrics: It's not that I've been hurt
And hardened to stone
I've just seen enough of this world
To know I'd rather live alone
Makes a man weary, all these turns in the road
I'd rather live alone than be left out in the cold
Doorbell rings and I don't answer
My telephone's off the hook
I spend my evenings indoors
With records, TV and books
Makes a man evil, all these turns in the road
I’d rather live alone than be left out in the cold
The years go passing by
Like so many days of the week
I see an old familiar story
On every face I see
Makes a man crazy, all these turns in the road
I'd rather live alone than be left out in the cold
About Paul Mark: The music of triple-threat songwriter-musician-producer Paul Mark has been turning the heads of critics and barflies for decades. With a striking lyrical edge and an encyclopedic facility with American roots music, Mark has curated a top-drawer original song catalog that draws the most discerning listeners. Paul Mark’s latest collection, Gravity, on New York City-based Radiation Records, completes a trilogy of albums that has pushed Mark’s songwriting and recording into a space well beyond his blues and Americana bona fides. Following up onStowawaysand Smartest Man In the Room, Gravity is Mark’s 11th commercially-released album. His recorded output spans several decades, embracing the roots spectrum with a relentlessly original take on blues, rock, soul, country, surf, cabaret, R’nB, and old-timey sounds.
Mark is best known for his unique songwriting, his roadhouse-ruff vocal delivery and for the raucous barroom sounds of his urban blues/roots rock ensemble, The Van Dorens. His originals such as When God Finds the Time, Fritos, BBQ and Scotch, I’m Going Blind, One More Coat of Paint, How Do the Blind Become So Famous?, and The Drinks are On Me take on traditional genres and weave them into contemporary, vital music. Mark praises his collaborative musical family, the Van Dorens, a revolving-door collective of dedicated musicians and engineering contributors. He’s said that the family name was sourced from the schlock exploitation flick High School Confidential. Over several decades he’s performed a thousand-plus of sets of live music at clubs and festivals with his band.
Mark has written and recorded hundreds of commercially-released songs (see the Lyrics page). Before setting up his own studio in New York City he cut albums at numerous world-class facilities including Ardent Studios (Memphis), Compass Point Studios (The Bahamas), The Music Shed (New Orleans) and Dockside Studios (Maurice, Louisiana). Most frequent among his session collaborators is the Grammy-winning Memphis producer/engineer Jeff Powell, who to date has collaborated on seven For More: https://paulmark.com/
