It's A Great Time to Start a Startup

We've been talking out back by the garbage cans...

Wow. What a talent.

This song popped up on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist and I’m obsessed. For me, Monica’s lyrics captures how it feels when life moves forward despite our imperfection as human beings, and what’s at stake in taking another leap of faith.

I hope you will enjoy it as much I as I have.


“Go Easy, Kid” by Monica Martin

I commit myself to sabotage
See? I can get what I want then I make it hard to hold on
Convince myself that I'm without a god
A spiritual fraud who got lost in her own sad song

We've been talking outback
By the garbage cans
About dreams that we had
And the five-year plan
Missing the mark
We're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll

Pledge allegiance to some sanity
It comes into view for a moment or two then it leaves me
Apologize into the neighborhood
And all the calls will be savеd, look, I'd wanna be brave if I could

I was talking outback
With an empty man, hе said
"Remember times that we had
Before you got in that van?"
Left me in the dark
Alone in the park
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid, it's only rock and roll

Cut through the smoke
There's no secret special code
No deeper hidden wisdom
Just accept we'll never know

We've been talking outback
By the garbage cans
About dreams that we had
And the five-year plan
Missing the mark
We're laughing in the dark
'Cause after all, no one's in control
Go easy, kid

In twenty years, kid, you're going to look back
And wish you grabbed it all by the throat
And said, "Fuck it, it's only rock and roll"
