These Cheese Sandwiches
So my girl says I
got a fear of commitment
doubts I’m the guy
to handle her equipment
since the burden of proof
seems to rest on my defense
I need a grand romantic gesture
if that makes any sense
She needs a symbol of our love undyin’
so I ran to the kitchen
whipped one up without even tryin’
These cheese sandwiches
it’s like love on a plate
These cheese sandwiches
it’s all I got, ain’t it great?
Well I get around
and I seen the world
and I ain’t the kind
to settle on just one girl
but I must admit
this one’s unique
if I want her to stick around
better brush up my technique
And I been working hard
to make you something fine
well it took me a minute
but I think it’ll make you mine
CH
M8 [lead break in D#m]
I ain’t never cooked
this for no one else
I believe it’s special
if I do say so myself
first you take some bread
now you take the cheese
then you stack ‘em up
in the microwave if you please
And my musician life
might not be your cup of tea
but it’s yours if you want it
if not, then set me free
cuz, CH [3-peat/ritard]

17 Years
I’ll follow you til the end of the
world, we can fly, holding hands
in our spaceship built for two
and if the sky looks scary
we’ll climb above the storm
we’ll wait it out
keep each other warm
ch
17 years, and forever
17 years ago we wed
and 17 years from now we will still be together
down on the ground, we can face all the
monsters we find, holding hands
we will win every time
and when the battle
wears us down at last
we’ll wait it out
until it’s in the past
ch
17 years, and forever
17 years ago we wed
and 17 years from now we will still be together

The World Is A Gallery
Stephanie peed on the pavement
after a drunken night of rock n roll
we definitely need entertainment
and a girl’s gotta do, what a girl’s gotta do
~ and on to the next ~
A seat in the clouds so majestic
a puddle to jump, and a gap to mind
retreat from the loud and domestic
move with respect, through the house of a friend
~ you don’t need a day-pass, you’re already there ~
Follow me this way, dear
so many exhibits here
infinite rooms to see
the world is a gallery
Sights to confound your perception
things you won’t understand your first time around [3 hits]
heights of astounding perfection
leave through the gift shop, but everything’s free
~ so don’t buy a ticket, you’re already there ~
CH
Hiding in plain sight
repulsive and sublime
it means what you think it means
Abstract, surreal, transcendent and deep – or simply the visions you see in your sleep
Room after room, some of these, some of those – elusive and veiled or right under your nose
It’s pretty much everything under the sun – it’s like all of your holidays rolled into one
whether expected or total surprise – they’re just all exhibitions in front of your eyes

Beast
V1
when it was young, it was fun
a helpless little secret
once it was caught
never gave it a thought
whether or not to keep it
V2
but as it grew, part of me knew
i carefully must tread
and keep any mess
well out of the press
and bend the truth instead
Pre-CH
don’t fly
little beast
to the light
you’ll be safe
in the dark
for a while
ch
too massive to contain
broken through my locks and chains
even as my world’s invaded
I feed the beast that I’ve created
V3
some secrets they say, just won’t go away
even in deepest grave
I know now I’m cursed
the roles have reversed
and I’ve become its slave
Pre-CH
sleep
little beast
rest your head
this will end
swear to god
look away
Ch [last 2 lines:] now the lies have been cremated – killed the beast that I created

Brooklyn Bridge
V1
sailed from home to the land of wonder
my new job starts as the sun goes under
dig all night, but we’ve just begun her
this bridge to show the world
V2
work proceeds through night unending
til bedrock’s found, we must keep descending
blood and sacrifice suspending
this bridge to show the world
CH
the ocean between us is so very wide
one day you will cross it and become my bride
I’ll save my money
and I’ll send for you
V3
life is hard, it’s rewards concealed
until this kills me I will never yield
I carry your picture like a sword and shield
on this bridge to show the world
CH
the ocean between us is so very wide
one day you will cross it and become my bride
I’ll save my money
and I’ll send for you

Mind Palace
Excuse me
I don’t wanna sound like a dick,
but some people got a bubble that’s incredibly thick
maybe genetics
maybe enviroment
maybe uh, I don’t fucking know!
alligators in our motes
apocalypse in finger quotes
who let the weasels and the stoates inside my
mind palace
I kinda get lost in my
mind palace
gotta change the lightbulbs in my
mind palace
how the hell do I get out of my
mind palace!

Driving
Sometimes when I’m driving, I just wanna close my eyes
like I’m on a dreamy test track
or Bonneville Salt Flats
there’s no lines on my road
there’s no road at all
It’s like flying, without the benefit of sight
or good decision making
just gliding in the dark
this black liquid isolation
bathing in it, til the purring motor finally
lulls me to sleep
They’ve leveled the burger king
They’ve leveled the burger king
What will the future bring,
now they’ve leveled the burger king?

Baby Birds
They’re coming back
it’s almost time
up there by the beam
and the telephone line
branches and milkweed
and grassy bits
woven with care
until everything fits
they can’t just pop to the shop
and pick out the best nest on the shelves
no, I’d imagine they’ll roll up their sleeves
and do it themselves
let’s watch the baby birds
learn to fly
and I won’t say a word

Scott Gorsuch Columbus, Ohio
As modern society crumbles, Scott's music becomes increasingly unpredictable: too moody for Power-pop, too sophisticated for Rock (sometimes). Songs for people who likely need therapy.
If you like Scott Gorsuch, you may also like:
Hypocrite / On Your Lovin' Mind *Double A-Side
by Uni Boys
Clean pop rock sounds with loads of energy (and handclaps!) from this Los Angeles group.
go to album
Twelve nervy power pop tracks punctuated by hairpin chord changes that arrive like sucker punches.

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.

Norwegian power pop outfit founded by members of black n' roll heavyweights Kvelertak strike a perfect balance between catchy and caustic.
go to album
Melatonin Doomsday Blues
by Strange Magic
Home-produced, sun-warped indie rock with wry wit and charming jangle from New Mexico's Javier Romero.
go to album
Indie rock with sunny psych-pop harmonies and guitar work that alternately chimes and crashes.

Not Getting What You Want, One Step at a Time
by Imp of Perverse
Getting some serious Dean Wareham vibes from this Texas bedroom project that’s anything but lo-fi.
