What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Todd my man, what have you done? In your quest to build the ultimate cult following you have alienated your
followers. Sometimes ego is just a dirty word. This album is just what it is titled. An attempt to make music with
no instruments. All sounds are created with Todds voice, with a little help from technology of course. His 11th
solo album, which his then label of Bearsville refused to release and shortly thereafter filed for bankruptcy.
Guess they figured, if this is the best we can do. When Todd was signed by Warner, they were reluctant to release
it also, but bootleg copies had hit the street, so why not? In fairness there are some ok songs here, which I think would
be better than ok with some instruments. Some of them do put you in awe, wondering how he did that sound. I'll give
him that credit. But then just because you can create a sound, doesn't make it a good sound. Once the awe fades
away, so does any apreciation. Favorite track of Something To Fall Back On, you could swear there has to be instruments
in there, but they say no. The album made #128 on the chart. Then it was back to serious music.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Miracle In The Bazaar

Best Track - Something To Fall Back On

If I gave you just a bit more time
Do you think that you would make up your mind?
You can't expect that a flower will grow
Until you get around to giving it more

Like it's only
Something to fall back on
Something to fall back on
Something to fall back on

Like a crumpled dollar hidden in your hat
For the subway home when there's no welcome mat
You'd be left with nothing if it weren't for that
When you need to find it it's right behind you

Remember when you were the talk of the town
And you didn't care if I was around
But still you kept me in the back of your head
Just like the teddy bear that you took to bed

I was only something to fall back on

And to wake up lonely is your deepest dread
So you stay connected by a tiny thread
Though you'd rather try for something else instead
When you need to find me, I'm right behind you

I know I'm only
Something to fall back on

I don't know what makes me think I've the right
To tell you what is most important in life
But after all I guess I just don't care
And if you need me I will always be there

'Cause when I just imagine how it will be
Then I guess it's something to fall back on
Something to fall back on for me

I need to know, you'll need me sometime
Everybody needs somebody to fall back on
Fall back on me

Nobody's going nowhere
You can call me anytime
You can fall back on me
You can call on me
I'm waiting on you, babe

When your world is falling down
And there's no one else around
And you're sitting, waiting by the phone
You can call me and I won't leave you alone
