lyrics
Why am I an extra in the movie of my life?
Why am I a footnote in the memoir that I write?
Where's the daring do?
Where're the ninjas and kung fu?
Where's the rooftop chases
Racing villains to their doom.
Where's my second take?
I know I made mistakes
Can't I get a retake, too?
Why am I walk-on part in the play that I wrote?
Why am I minor role, does anybody know?
Where's the clever text?
Where's the heady tete-a-tete
Where's the erudition laced with suble fictions
For effect?
Where's the perfect turn of phrase
A perfect foil for this malaise
Can I be rewritten please.
I don't like my role
I don't like my job
I don't like being here
Being here at all.
Why am I an extra in the movie of my life?
Why am I a footnote in the memoir that I write?
Does anybody know?
Why am I a footnote in the memoir that I write?
Where's the daring do?
Where're the ninjas and kung fu?
Where's the rooftop chases
Racing villains to their doom.
Where's my second take?
I know I made mistakes
Can't I get a retake, too?
Why am I walk-on part in the play that I wrote?
Why am I minor role, does anybody know?
Where's the clever text?
Where's the heady tete-a-tete
Where's the erudition laced with suble fictions
For effect?
Where's the perfect turn of phrase
A perfect foil for this malaise
Can I be rewritten please.
I don't like my role
I don't like my job
I don't like being here
Being here at all.
Why am I an extra in the movie of my life?
Why am I a footnote in the memoir that I write?
Does anybody know?

about
Get Set Go Cannon Beach, Oregon
Get Set Go is criminally under-appreciated.
However, they still make the best music you've never heard.

Get Set Go recommends:
-
Sebastian, hands down, is one of the most singular and passionate and skilled songwriters I have ever known. Like, if you know me at all, you know that those are the three metrics that matter.

Eric's music is everything you could ever want from someone that knows all the tiny bits about how music is made and still says, fuck it, I'm making MY music. I have learned so much from him.

Let the Machines
by John Brownell and his Spare PartsJohn's newest record is the only album I have encountered that is trying to grapple with the idea that machines are taking over, and we're pretty okay with that. And that is pretty darn awesome!

Stellar Engine
by Steven Cogswellsupported by 4 fans who also own “Why Am I An Extra In The Movie Of My Life?”
Steven Cogswell is a musical magician. Literally. He starts you at one location and then, magically, over the course of the track, he takes you to unimaginable places filled with musical oddities so compelling and so left of field as too leave, at least me, feeling a bit breathless. Pretty damn amazing. And he does this track over track like a madman! Like a magical madman that makes majestic, magnifcent, magnetic music.
