Feast and Famine

“Germany’s Children Are Starving!” by Kathe Kollwitz, 1924

Feast and famine

Binge and purge
Celebrate and sacrifice
What goes up
Is going to come back down
Somebody is going to pay the price
Turning the world upside-down

Let them have some freedom

And when you turn your back
They’ll turn the whole world upside down
They’ll say you’re the bad guy
You’ll be the enemy
If you try to stand your ground

There’s a new world coming

It can’t be stopped
It’s getting closer every day
The only decision
You have left
Is how much you’re going to make us pay

There’s a new world coming and it can’t be stopped

New album "Observations" available now. A veteran of NYC’s underground music scene, Mike Power played on the stages of such beloved lost venues as CBGB’s and Kenny’s Castaways, as well as stalwart surviving ones like Arlene’s Grocery and the Bitter End as singer/songwriter/bassist with Late Model Humans. In 2020, quarantining from the global pandemic he worked remotely with other artists to record a collection of new music called Observations, that infuses his punk roots with introspective acoustic pieces.
