Another Lousy Day In Paradise

You're In For It Now!

Lars Hindsley — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:00:00 -0400

You're In For it Now

You're in for it now
Fate has lingered and I propose a toast
Destiny has been commissioned to find you and...
You're in for it now!

Fate will have you somehow
Stumble into the arms of change
Toss and turn you around, and...
You're in for it now!

Destiny's beside you
Forcing your hands behind you
Destiny's beside you
Forcing your hand --- behind you...

You're in for it now
Fate has lingered, no room left to boast!
Destiny has been commissioned to find you and...
You're in for it now!

It's the key to your fate if you can brave it
It's the pain of your past if you can take it
You've crossed the line, incommunicado
Up to your shirt-tie lost without bravado

Destiny's beside you
Forcing your hands behind you
Destiny's beside you
Forcing your hand --- behind you...

You're in for it now.
You're in for it now.
You're in for it now!

Roses Are Read

Lars Hindsley — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:53:15 -0400

It's fast and it's furious
Hurts the way it should
Find em hiding in the corners
Pain someone else once took
If you worked at love much harder
They're putting pepper on the ball
The working waves of passion
The weight of it all...

Now! I looked hard, I looked silently
And I fell hard, she fell hardly
What happened to me, what happened to me
I think out loud... "What happened to me?"

Roses are red, roses are red
If we had a fight, I'd forget what was said
Roses are red, roses are red
If love is blind I'll get you out of my head

Now who's to know the reason why rascals find love?
Isn't something more important, to accidentally find the one
So who's fooling who? No don't change the rules
We're heading straight for danger and I mean you!

Roses are red, roses are red
If we had a fight, I'd forget what was said
Roses are red, roses are red
If love is blind I'll get you out of my head

I was a crazy cure which she believed
I was a flash on her she could deceive
Now she's a reckless hunter looking for me
And now I'm desperately focused to find myself King

You say you want me serious, don't you wish you could
I see you fear'n in a corner, love once misunderstood
If we ran from love much further, I suppose we've said it all
Yes we'll treat it like a fashion, I think we've done it all

Hard to Get

Lars Hindsley — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:45:50 -0400

Roads to wonder down
Are the ones to wander down
Time ...in the present stands still
I see her there
Elbows on the sill
And love is such a hard word
Hard words in my head
Hard words... are...
Hard to get, hard to get, hard to get.

The old is old and over
The new has just begun
And standing in the rain
Has never felt so much like the sun

With full intent and a minor accent
His words were few and far
Beyond the said, eyes intense
No need to wish on stars

Hard to get. Hard to Get. Hard to Get.

Tight

Lars Hindsley — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:40:26 -0400

I hid my life to forget the past
Good things you know are never meant to last
These bad things we live through
The too do pass
Why's my mind so tight
You've questioned that tonight
I only need you to mend my desire
Into a finer momentum,
Oh the rogue I've become!

To find... A wise man
Look... for a fool
For in his mind
He's ruling you

Little known facts equal empty truth
This life is tight
This rogue will never lose
Convinced to leave
A tryst we had
I was that wiseman fool
What's it take to dream?
What's it take to go?
I need you
To mind my desire
Into a finer momentum...
Called love

So time's not yet givin my mind back to me
And I wish I wash again to have your thoughts for free
The deeper I get
The harder I am to find

To find... A wise man
Look... for a fool
The tightness tonight is killing you
Now tight young rogue
You'll find it tonight
The wise man you were...
Was never you (for in his mind... for in his mind ... for in his mind...)
Was never you

Seek No Solace

Lars Hindsley — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 10:48:03 -0400

I wrote Seek No Solace in a time of determination and pain. I was a youth of 27. I was humbled by raw power of Wuthering Heights and when Heathcliff speaks to Linton offering him "Solace" I was reminded of how powerful a single word can be. It reminds me that we are all not as strong as we hope to be and that we all share a common desire to find someone that cares enough to help us through our own hardships. We all have our own demons to deal with. Mine was finding a friend I could turn to at the end of every day. Perhaps not as hard as others may have it; for instance drugs. I've never done drugs so I never had that problem but I've seen others hope for some solace when their own demons attack them. But in the end we all hope for solace in some way against our own hardship.

I wrote Seek No Solace in admiration of the word and in part in appreciation for a personal logo I wore on my shirt for a time. My band adopted it as it's logo. This seems to set a harsh tone to my song, but again we all have our own battles and demons. Yet, the song Seek No Solace is a song of hope. It a song that provides an answer. It was an answer I found. It was an answer I wanted to share with others that may have experienced the same problem in love. The answer is the title. The answer was something I learned to live, and its all about loving yourself enough so others can love you back. Like most all songs I've written, Seek No Solace is about believing in yourself. I once told someone, "Fake it till you ...

Proven!

Lars Hindsley — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 22:11:20 -0400

Proven! is a song that is powerful and edgy. Raw and loud, dance worthy and flat out fast paced. The idea of Proven! is that after you are tested by cruel and tough love, after you are tested by every other trial in life, you are time tested and proven to be worthy of love.

Yeah, if you think I've only recently been on this "worthy" of love kick recently (2007), that is a big mistake. Proven! is gutsy and confident, but if you are "worthy" of love you better damn well be confident.

PROVEN!

Proven is the state in which you currently reside
Proven by my faith in which you currently confide
Proven on a plain in which I'll fail to resign
Prove it to yourself your Hard To Get but will be mine

Proven in image, proven in deed
Proven is my name, I'll satisify your needs
The reputations there, you'll be no less aware
Don't ignore my demands.

Proven I'm effective, all you need is call
There's no risk or chance, there's no way you'll fall.
Proven I'm effective, all you need is call
There's no risk or chance, there's no way you'll fall.

So don't scratch and claw for a lousy releif
Dare to walk away, fate will bring you to your knees
So prove to prove your moving, an absolute solution
How can you lose? How can you lose?
Proven I'm effective, all you need is call
There's no risk or chance, there's no way you'll fall.
Proven I'm effective, all you need is call
There's no risk or chance, there's no way you'll fall.

So tell me how can you lose?
Proven by default misconstrued as a game
Proven that in time you'll call out my name
Proven by default left alone to die ...

Roses Are Red

Lars Hindsley — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:27:29 -0400

This song is Roses Are Red. It took our band 17 days from concept to final recording. It was the very first song by Hard To Get and we knew from that day forward, we were good enough to produce nothing but original music. I was always very proud of my lyrics and as the front man, I stood tall and eager to show the women of the world that I had as much substance to my romantic notions as I did words. You be the judge. I submit to you:

Roses Are Red (mp3 format)

It’s fast and furious

Hurts the way it should

Find ‘em hiding in the corners

Pain someone else once took

If you worked at love much harder

Their putting pepper on the ball

The working waves of passion

The weight of it all

I looked hard

I looked silently

And I fell hard

She fell hardly

What happened to me?

I think out loud what’s happened to me?

Roses are red, Roses are red

If we had a fight I’d forget what was said

Roses are red, Roses are red

If love is blind I’ll get you out of my head

Now who’s to know the reason why rascals find love?

Is there something more important to accidentally find the one?

So who’s fooling who, no don’t change the rules.

We’re heading straight for danger, and I mean you!

I was a crazy cure she believed.

I was a flash on her, she could deceive

Now she’s a reckless hunter looking for me

And now I’m desperately focused to find myself free

Oh you want to find me serious, don’t you wish you could.

I see you fear’n in a corner ...love once misunderstood....

The Risk

Lars Hindsley — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:40:15 -0500

Sometimes you write something so straight from the heart every word hits you with compounded emotion. The Risk was inspired by my deep desire to find a woman willing to be just as honest and romantic as I was. I drew a lot of inspiration for this song from my church theology and from a movie called My Name is ...

Forced Fate

Lars Hindsley — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 20:56:31 -0500

You epitomize why I should try

The main thing is you want me

Keep electing a wider view

Keep praying this dream comes true

I’ll keep forcing my fate with you

Drawing near,

You’re selecting,

This heart’s bound for you

I can’t slow up we both might realize

The boundary we both knew

I’ll keep praying this dream comes ...

Wide Wide Eternity

Lars Hindsley — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 18:39:57 -0500

As the days and nights go by, I sailed the widest seas

And all the winds of change could never beat the best of me

I loved that wide wide sea

Until I docked the shores of Eternity

Her name I’ll call her “Eternity”

Hers shoreline. It’s my destiny.

For now that I’ve met her

She’ll never leave ...

Revenge You Will Know

Lars Hindsley — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 11:45:49 -0500

Dare I be what you want me to?

Dare I requite your point of view?

Then you’ll know what I bring to you.

Do you fear the revenge you will know?

It’s a Language I know you’ll hear with your eyes

You’ll feel me coming / bring you down to size

This is how its got to be...

Starts The Sigh

Lars Hindsley — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 18:18:13 -0500

So this is how it starts again,

Right past the tentative

Just past the refrain

Yet pass me by you won’t see me again

Chances. They trifle, trifle by,

Sing to the greeting stop with a sigh

Can’t ever be sure

Lexicon of sighs

Resort to a look

Straight through the Eyes

Gone gone

Gone away...

You're In For It Now

Lars Hindsley — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 13:47:48 -0500

You’re in for it now

Fate has lingered and I propose a toast

Destiny has been commissioned to find you and...

You’re in for it now!

Fate will have you somehow,

Stumble into the arms of change,

Toss and turn you around and

You’re in for it now!

Destiny’s beside you

Forcing your hands behind you

You’re in ...
