Man of This House

by Tina Refsnes

supported by

Billy Stewart Ms. Refsnes (I’d love to know how to pronounce that name!) has here written and performed a beautifully crafted, minimalistic, alt/blues/folk-fusion song with powerful lyrics and strong yet very feminine vocals that all come together as something that, especially in a modern musical world of copycats and play-what’s-popular chart toppers, thankfully breaks free from the mould of popular sound and its boring, cliched, styrofoam hits. This music grooves my heart and soul with lyrics that tickle my brain.
This young woman has the vocal chops and the guitar licks to make an impact that could put her on the scene anywhere in the world with a fresh burst of originality.

lyrics

I am the man of this house. I have been going for miles and miles.
I am the heart and the soul. I should have learnt by now to be bold.
But I just feel confused.
At times, oh, so broken and bruised. So bruised.

This place is nothing like I planned it to.
And these eyes have seen things from a different view.
There's a part that I've been playing.
And a phrase I've kept on saying.
Phrase I've kept on saying for long.

There is a man I adore. I cannot hide from him like before.
Lying will not make you strong, but whatever truth there is it belongs
down in a big, black hole.
I'll cover it with my soul. See I'm just that cold.

This place is nothing like I planned it to.
And these eyes have seen things from a different view.
There's a part that I've been playing.
And a phrase I've kept on saying.
Phrase I've kept on saying for long.

There was a time in the past I still believed that things last and last.
But time has taught me how to give in to my head in stead
and pray, just pray today will bring something more
than what I've been hoping for. Something more.

This place is nothing like I planned it to.
And these eyes have seen things from a different view.
There's a part that I've been playing.
And a phrase I've kept on saying.
Phrase I've kept on saying.
A part that I have been playing.
A prayer that I've kept on praying.
