Brian Martin "If You" homemade music video Richmond, VA

This is a live performance from Brian Martin singing his original, "if you", in the bedroom where "The Road We Share" was recorded.

It's a simple concept: we all have to take responsibility for shaping the world we share.

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Those kids of yours
You treat them like they're no ones
Treat them like they don't know right from wrong
And as time goes by
They'll listen like they're robots that don't know they are trapped inside a box

Oh, we're heading for a breakdown
So who wants to lead the way?
Oh, stop living with your head down
You've got to make a change today

So if you have a voice then scream at the world you live in
It may take a while but somebody will listen
And if you have a choice then choose to make a difference
It may take a while but somebody will listen
Somebody will listen here

And these plans you've made
did you ever question how they would affect your world and mine
And we wonder why we never thought to test you so you'd think of more than just your bottom line

Oh, we're heading for a breakdown
So who wants to lead the way?
Oh, stop living with your head down
You've got to make a change today

So if you have a voice then scream at the world you live in
It may take a while but somebody will listen
And if you have a choice then choose to make a difference
It may take a while but somebody will listen
Somebody will listen here

You've got to make a change so
turn around, show the world
exactly what they're missing
turn around, show the world..

So if you have a voice then scream at the world you live in
It may take a while but somebody will listen
And if you have a choice then choose to make a difference
It may take a while but somebody will listen

Great song...you definitly need better video equipment. The sound and pic are so grainy...doesn't do you justice! Wish we could see you workin' your loop pedal, too! When & where are you going to be playin' soon?
