Trainwreck

We‘ve known each other since I don’t know when
Good times and bad, we‘ve always been friends
But you won’t listen to me when I say
You‘d better slow down, start changin’ your ways

How can you be so blind to the fix that you‘re in?
You got no one to blame but yourself!
You know it’s a sin!

Verse 2
You seem to think that you're the only one
Who's been misused and put under the gun
Eight billion people ... they all play that game
You need to understand that we‘re all the same
At the end of your rope
There’s still a chance to climb back
The only way isn't down, that's a natural fact

Chorus

You‘re a fast train runnin’ down a dead-end track
No way to stop you or make you turn back
You‘re an accident lookin’ for a place to happen, my friend
You bought a first-class ticket for a one-way ride
Well you can run, but you never can hide
All of your baggage will follow you right to the end, my friend

Verse 3
I can’t believe the crazy things you do
If you walk on thin ice, you’re gonna fall through
I'm reachin’ out my hand to pull you away
If you refuse it could be your dyin’ day
Get a hold of yourself, time goes by too fast
Life is a journey: Get back on the path

Interlude
Half Chorus

We all know someone whose life is a mess -- a real trainwreck. I used this imagery to implore someone to take the helping hand offered.

Buddy Hall, who produced, played most of the instruments and sang background on this tune, and really outdid himself here. You'll hear snatches of the Beatles, Peter Gabriel and even Argent at one point in this tune. Some of these references were unconscious. For example, we really didn't think of the intro as referencing "Eleanor Rigby" until we started to mix! Tommy Compton, who played drums with Johnny Winter and Ten Years After, generously added marching snare drum to the tune.

Sadly, Buddy passed away unexpectedly on January 29, 2021. He was a friend and brother for more than 40 years. I miss him, and it's both painful and joyful for me to listen to anything we worked on. But the joy overrides the sadness.

Biography

An accomplished veteran of the Pittsburgh, Midwest and East Coast music scenes since 1965, Dave Molter counts The Beatles as his primary influence.

"Approaching End of Usable Life" is Dave's second full-length CD. The title track debuted at #1 on Radio Candy Radio in Los Angeles in December 2021. "All the Answers, " the second single from "Usable Life" — a duet with Annemarie Picerno — debuted at #1 in March on Banks Radio Australia.

Like Dave's previous work, "Usable Life" is a mix of styles and influences, from the Who-like hard rock title track to Beatlesque ballads. It was recorded at Albey Road Studio in Pittsburgh with Al Snyder as producer as well as co-writer and keyboards player ( www.alsnydermusic.com ). It features guest appearances by many Pittsburgh area friends, including Danny Gochnour, Joey Waslousky, John DeCola, Lisa Klein Bleil, Ron Orrico, Naomi Jarvis and Dave Flodine. Nashville singer/songwriter Annemarie Picerno makes a guest appearance on the funky, bluesy rocker "All the Answers," which also features Pittsburgh's best horn section, The Soulville Horns .

Dave is a finalist in the USA Male Vocalist of the Year category for the 2022 International Singer Songwriter Association (ISSA) Awards , to be presented in August in Atlanta.

"It Was You," Dave's previous CD, was a finalist for Album of the Year at the 2021 ISSA Awards , and the title track was also nominated as Pop/Contemporary Male Song of the Year at the 7th Annual Josie Music Awards in Nashville. The CD is a compendium of styles, from Sixties power pop to country and contemporary rock. The album has produced 4 #1 indie radio hits.

"Foolish Heart," Dave's debut EP, produced four No. 1 singles since its release in September 2019. Dave's followup, "Oh Woman, Don't You Cry," also debuted at #1 in the UK three days after its release in December 2019. The title track was nominated for Single of the Year for the 6th Annual Josie Music Awards.

Says Dave: “I’m still blown away by the response from listeners to my music! I’ve heard from fans and deejays all over the world, and it’s gratifying to know that we share a common belief in the power of love expressed through music.

“John Lennon said it best in 1967: ‘All you need is love!” I still believe it!”
