about

Written in the mid-80s, for my band at the time, The Vizitors, with attention to "danceability." It's sort of a rock version of "Is That All There Is?"

lyrics

Survival

Alarm six AM
I don't know where I am
As I work I pray
Time will stop on Saturday

I fall into the future
Hanging from the past
The change comes slow
But the time goes fast

Survival
Survival
Survival
Tell me, is that all?

A child dances by
I just stand and sigh
I'll work 'til the end
And start it all again

Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Is that all?

about

Sarahtonin Portland, Oregon

Sarah Jane Burke began playing piano at age five. She had a handful of piano lessons, but is mostly self-taught. She took up guitar at about age 11, mostly inspired by The Beatles, and other "British Invasion" acts. She began writing songs at around age 12, playing in bands at 13, and by 17, she'd taught herself to compose full scores. She's been composing, recording, and performing ever since. ... more
