Pointless

I don’t understand my purpose in this life
When I was young I used to care
Attention seeking is a long and lonely path
All my hope has disappeared
I further fade with each future day
I failed and I blame myself
My heart is cold
The story is old
I’m giving in
Because it’s pointless to write another song tonight
It’s pointless to word what will never be heard
Because it’s pointless to share and to think someone will care
The truth is more or less
It’s all so pointless
How you long to reconstruct your broken heart
You remind me of myself
I strived for things that only brought me misery
Piece by piece you lose yourself
I further fade with each future day
I failed and I blame myself
My heart is cold
The story is old
I’ll never win
Because it’s pointless to write another song tonight
It’s pointless to word what will never be heard
Because it’s pointless to share and to think someone will care
The truth what I said
It’s all so pointless
I further fade with each future day
I failed and I blame myself
Because it’s pointless to write another song tonight
It’s pointless to word what will never be heard
Because it’s pointless to share and to think someone will care
I got inspired again
It’s all so pointless
Dreams become nightmares
It’s all so pointless

God of nations at Thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices, we entreat
God defend our Free Land
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war
Make her praises heard afar
God defend New Zealand
E Ihoa Atua
Men of ev'ry creed and race
Gather here before Thy face
Asking Thee to bless this place
O nga Iwi Matoura
From dissenshion, envy, hate
And corruption guard our State
Make our country good and great
Peace, not war, shall be our boast
But, should foes assail our coast
Make us then a mighty host
God defend our Free Land
Lord of battles in thy might
Put our enemies to flight
Let our cause be just and right
God defend New Zealand
Ata whaka rongona
Let our love for Thee increase
May Thy blessings never cease
Give us plenty, give us peace
Me aroha noa
From dishonour and from shame
Guard our country's spotless name
Crown her with immortal fame
Kia hua ko te pai
May our mountains ever be
Freedom's ramparts on the sea
Make us faithful unto Thee
God defend our Free Land
Kia tau to atawhai
Guide her in the nations' van
Preaching love and truth to man
Working out Thy Glorious plan
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa
God defend our Free Land
God defend New Zealand

No Easy Way Out

I know the score don’t waste my time
I’m trapped and no one that I know can save me
Another piece of me it cracks then breaks then falls away
I know the time don’t keep the score
My mental state has gone from calm to crazy
Another piece of me it cracks then breaks then falls away
If you found and saw the real me it would change things
Over time the truth will soak through
Now I need you cause I’m falling to the ground in a million pieces
Cause there’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out that I can see
I got my photo against the wall
A price was set but no-one came to bail me
Another piece of me it cracks then breaks then falls away
I got two minutes for my call
I’ll play it cool when they interrogate me
Another piece of me it cracks then breaks then falls away
If you found and saw the real me it would change things
Over time the truth will soak through
Now I need you cause I’m falling to the ground in a million pieces
Cause there’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out that I can see
I paid the price I did my time
I learnt my lesson and it may have saved me
I see the writing the wall
I wrote this song for you, it’s not about me
Now you’ve found and seen the real me - does it change things?
Over time will the truth soak through?
You don’t mean to but you’re falling to the ground in a million pieces
Cause there’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out that I can see
Cause there’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out
There’s no easy way out that I can see

Goodbye My Friend

I never thought it would come to this my friend
but it has and we can’t change it
I never really thought of asking why
is there a reason for these things?
I will never forget the past, the good times outweighed the bad
I never got to say goodbye, and I haven’t said it yet
I wanted the perfect song but I don’t have it
I always thought it would take a lot to make me cry
and it did and I still feel it
Nothing we face in the journey of this life
can prepare us for mourning
I will never forget the past, the good times outweighed the bad
I never got to say goodbye, and I haven’t said it yet
I wanted the perfect song but I don’t have it
I’ll never write the perfect song you deserve
I’ll never write the perfect song
I’ll never write the perfect song you deserve
I’ll never write the perfect song
I never got to say goodbye
And I haven’t said it yet
I wanted the perfect song but I don’t have it
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye my friend
I’ll never write the perfect song you deserve
Goodbye my friend
I’ll never write the perfect song you deserve
Goodbye my friend

Let us understand now you have no pain
We hold you dear as if you were here
If we could hear, we know you’d say "It’s another beautiful day"
It’s another beautiful day
Memories will fade
Tears will dry away
But our hearts will never change
We hold you dear
If we could hear, we know you’d say "It’s another beautiful day"
If we could hear, we know you’d say
It’s another beautiful day
Another beautiful day

Martian Tavern Jukebox (2021) - album
by Null-O Band
supported by 16 fans who also own “Pointless”
There's a broad range of talent in evidence here. Styles merge and diverge again but consistently entertain across the tracks. There's some genre surfing that keeps things really interesting especially when combining guitars, synths and loops from several domains. A lot to keep someone genre agnostic happy. Plus some very tasty solos as the album is coming to close. Quite a bow tie for this excellent album.

There's No Place Like Nowhere
by Matt DeMello
supported by 15 fans who also own “Pointless”
DeMello's first record is a deeply personal journey, and one that will continue to surprise upon revisiting. Though it appears to be a singer-songwriter record at first glance, the record subverts the cliches of the genre. You'll hear elements of prog, classical, and indie rock through the lens of Brian Wilson along the way. There's nothing quite like it.
