lyrics

do you ever feel like you won't fit in
are you ever scared to be different
braces, glasses, learning violin

do you ever think you have too many spots,
or wish you had more what-have-you-nots
feathers toe nails stripes or polka-dots

monsters are scary
some they are kind
some wake up early
some go bump bump bump in the night
every color every size
every possible
number of eyes
monsters are different
that's why they're great
and what makes us different
is what we celebrate

do you ever feel like you won't fit in
are you ever scared to be different
are you scared of monsters
are you scared to be like them

monsters are scary
some they are kind
some wake up early
some go bump bump bump in the night
every color every size
every possible
number of eyes
monsters are different
that's why they're great
it's what makes us different
that we celebrate

sometimes we're noisy
sometimes we're shy
sometimes we're honest
and sometimes sometimes we lie
on our pillow and look at the stars
and wonder if they're looking back from afar
and seeing our difference
and thinking we're great
what makes us different
is what we celebrate

The very talented Leslie Wood (www.lesliewoodarts.com) contacted me and asked if I would be interested doing an art trade. e.g. an album cover in exchange for a song. Leslie is working on a book about monsters and she sent me some of her draft pages and words. I used them to write this song.

Friends and sometimes TWT collaborators set out to make a "classic rock" album but got lost along the way. Favorite Track: Aviator Shades. The Wiggly Tendrils

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)
by A Severe Joy

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Capitol Limited EP
by Deirdre and Conor / Kitchen Table, Illinois

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
