āAcoustic Manā (Jazz/AC/Pop) as an album of 3 tracks; vocal, instrumental, and solo piano performances.
Words by Paul Norman Tapp, music & performance by Zane Kuchera 7/11/24
āThe Acoustic Man lyric was in part inspired by the greatest American architectural photographer of the 20th century, Julius Shulman. Shulmanās visionary black and white photographs highlighted by shadow and light reached stunning heights with his āCase Study 22.’ While Shulmanās photos help us set the scene, the main character in our story was more likely inspired by another California icon, noir detective novelist Raymond Chandler. Enjoy the vibe.ā – Paul Norman Tapp
Lyrics
ACOUSTIC MAN
Words by Paul Norman Tapp Ā© 2024
Pull me in, folio rain
Raise the level, shifting plane
Desert sky, Frank Lloyd space
Dreaming eye, oasis face
Seeing sound, peaceful plan
I've become Acoustic Man
Never mind flamingo fan
I've become Acoustic Man
Martini jazz, Schulman lens
Modern lines, Mercedes Benz
Olive trees, pacific blue
Case study, twenty two
Seeing sound, peaceful plan
I've become Acoustic Man
Never mind flamingo fan
I've become Acoustic Man
Crash-car city, post-op blues
Screaming pity, cane to choose
Walking with the hippest limp
Shed a tear fallen pimp
Hanging on the best I can
Always been Acoustic Man
Chocolate pillows, vanilla divan
Rest my case I'm Acoustic Man
Here I am, Acoustic Man
