Decisions I Can't Explain

about

Certainly the only song in the Ehresman catalogue that has a whiff of Green Day to it. A short, tight little piece of radio-friendly power-pop energy, with lyrics pondering the age-old situation of doing something stupid and then trying to figure out why in the world we did it (again).

Ehresman laughs: "I'm not sure why I wrote this in a 'college rock' style, considering I've never listened to that stuff.....but when I got the idea for the song, this is what the music in my head sounded like, and so....."

lyrics

Decisions I Can’t Explain
(© 2018 Walter Ehresman)

Oh no, I know this feeling;
All the holes in time concealing;
Trying to find the point it went off the rails.
Really thought this was all history;
Better blueprints building a better me;
Now I’ve got to check all the parts and the scale.

Seems its happened again;
The evidence is everywhere now;
Gotta glue the pieces together, my friend.
I can’t really complain,
‘cause no one else would have the know-how
to make these decisions I just can’t explain.

Cosmic rays or hypnotism;
Mind control or magnetism;
Trying to find a cause that could spare me the blame.
But I know it’s all just futility;
There really is no greater mystery,
and there ain’t nobody or nothing that I can frame!
