Better take a load off now You gotta wipe your game face right off You're taking on way too much You're starting to lose your touch Better take a load off right now Start thinking about yourself Come over here and sit right down Take your back side and put on the shelf Gotta clear that noise all that sound What the hell are you for when your not around You can't everybody's issues We're all made of bone and tissue Oh dammit how can I convince you When you're not yourself we all miss you That's why I wish you Would take a load off right now Take a load off right now Take a load off right now You don't have to put on no game face Don't you realize we're here for you Don't you realize there ain't nothin you need to do except Take a load off right now Take a load off right now Take a load off right now Take a load off right now

When you gonna stop your lying'? You said you'd be Back in the saddle This is the last time Lord have mercy Oh the trouble you're in I already know the truth It's entertaining to hear ya Spinning cock and bull stories About where you've been I'd lIke to juxtapose The real with the misleading Your misbegotten focus Your spurious ways I already know the truth Don't wanna alarm ya Funny how you squirm Like a rat in a maze I'm asking you directly When you gonna stop your lyin' You know your life is coming back to find ya Like some it's only your karma No one will want ya, uh uh When you gonna stop your lyin' I look you in the eye When you gonna stop your lyin' I learned to love myself I learned to brush you off They say not to trust 'em Further than you can throw 'em In your case I'm pushing you out that door When you gonna stop your lyin' (Your lying') When you gonna stop your lyin' (Your lying') I look you in the eye

Love is the Cake While it’s true I had designs on you And I can’t deny Infatuation took over We got so excited During flirting time A very special time When things are new Romance is the Icing But Love is the cake But now that we truly know each other I don’t long for that corner piece It’s much deeper than that Yes your sweetness is deep inside Romance is the Icing But Love is the cake I’ve come to realize True love has substance And all the work it takes You get your just reward I’m referring to enduring love The kind that lasts a lifetime It’s not the flavor of the batter that matters It’s recognizing real love is not just skin deep Romance is the Icing But Love is the cake

about

For their sophomore release, the Von Doodle Daddies offer a collection of eleven new originals by songwriter Bob Appel. 

Nine months removed from the debut (Are You Hungry?), the new setlist features a broader soundscape with songs exploring love, life, lying, and some of the other stuff one might find lodged deep in the human consciousness. Listen closely; there will be birds.

Recorded in Bob’s basement and Jeff’s office, and coordinated without human contact, the album stretches across 41 minutes of rock, pop, and the occasional foray into mid-70s-style jazz pop groove soup. This was always the goal.

Troubled times call for serious reflection.

Whatever else you may find yourself pondering, please also consider The Future of Flora.

Hailing from the foggy hills of San Francisco, Von Doodle Daddies is an old school rock and roll group with a new global purview. Born out of the isolation of a global pandemic, a world in which artist need to speak up, and the shared belief that music heals, this band of life-long rockers is ready to break out, with cause, from the depths of a studio and into the public eye. ... more
