Schumacher's progressive music styles - Progressive, Celtic, Acoustic.
Schumacher's music embraces a wide range of musical styles - a true blend of Progressive Rock, Celtic, and classical music arrangements.
We try to make people feel, to capture and reflect emotion, and help others as their lives are touched by both good and bad. Our success is not our sales, but the comments listeners leave about how a song touched their hearts.
Check out "The Snake in the Grass" or "The Buffalo Dance" for a snapshot of the band's acoustic-progressive work.
Story behind the song
The song deals with the perceived threat of change, especially to an establish system built on mediocrity and scratch-my-back reciprocity. The motto "sit, watch, like, and shut up" has reigned far too long in workplaces and personal lives. Let's give those a chance who are far better than us, and together we shall walk in the company of giants.
Lyrics
Is it me, or are we spinning around?
one step up, and yet still on the ground.
why is it that you keep looking out for that backdoor?
Watch them run when you point out what's going on,
Watch them squirm when they notice you know what's wrong,
Watch them scheme how to best keep what's been not what could be.
We don't want you, you scare us so.
Your ideas a clear threat to our life so cozy and comfortable,
Rush, put them down, silence this herd.
before it's too late and our house of cards comes tumbling down.
Fix your grin, tug your shirt, and don't talk to loud,
the old boys club sits back for another round.
salutes those who fit in cause they won't say what needs to.
Praise a system designed to produce control,
bread and games for the plebs, see! A newborn Rome,
Sit, watch, like, and shut up, and you'll fit your assigned mold.
We don't want you, you scare us so.
Your ideas a clear threat to our life so cozy and comfortable,
Rush, put them down, silence this herd.
before it's too late and our house of cards comes tumbling down.
But the more you push, the less you reach those who have seen.
everyday the numbers grow and those with courage dare to dream
can't you see that when this house comes down it's all of us who win
a great nation once again untied from philistine doctrine.
Can you hear the sound of the marching band,
right outside, in the streets, just around the bend,
It has come to ring in the change that is long due.
Wake them up, all those thinkers who stood aside,
come aboard, climb on up, help us turn the tide.
you are good, we'll be great, unleash the power of our mind.
But the more you push, the less you reach those who have seen.
everyday the numbers grow and those with courage dare to dream
can't you see that when this house comes down it's all of us who win
a great nation once again untied from philistine doctrine.
