about

I tried out for a Reality TV show once. It was going to be called "The One: Making a Music Star". They found me and asked me to audition and it wasn't that far of a drive, so I did. I made it past the talent part and they very secretly gave me a call back card to meet at another building later that day. I went in and they questioned me about who I was saying things like, "I bet your parents really hate that you do music!" I just couldn't bring myself to lie and in the end I just don't think I'm strange enough for reality TV, but that's probably a good thing.

Reality Try Outs

By: Brad Shaw - The Silent Partner

Tried out for reality today
Sat me right down in a chair
It seems that I’m not interesting
It seems that my troubles and the clothes that I wear
Are not enough for reasons to pull me through
They tried to tell me my dad didn’t care
They tried to tell me my mom didn’t too
But it’s not the truth at all

Keeping a roster full of hope
A beautiful menagerie
Calling them up all one by one
Looking for the next thing that will be
Not enough for reasons to pull me through
They tried to tell me my dad didn’t care
They tried to tell me mom didn’t too
But it’s not the truth at all

And all of these things, I (can’t really) wouldn’t say
That they’re not each all important
With every breath; every step that we take
They're all each so very important
To us, through us…we’re all each so important
