about
This is my response to the week 4 Name challenge. Here I tried to write, compose and arrange in Michael Penn's style (with the focus on 'tried'). Euterpe is the the muse of music. He's married to singer-songwriter Aimee Mann. And he namedropped himself in one of his own songs (Selfish from the 1997 Resigned album) so now I feel entitled to do the same.
lyrics
quality music is hard to find
so much talent is wasted
record companies are on their way down
hail the man wearing Euterpe's crown
he's the man
Michael Penn
I am a big fan
he is Aimee's Man
his name is Penn
escaping the LA mould
the Hydra monster to unfold
marrying a kindred spirit
she is nice but he's in it
he's the man
Michael Penn
I am a big fan
he may not be
the prince of men
but we know
his name is Penn
he's the man
Michael Penn
I am a big fan
he's doing what he can
his name is Penn
his name is Penn
try to remember if you can
his name is Penn
so much talent is wasted
record companies are on their way down
hail the man wearing Euterpe's crown
he's the man
Michael Penn
I am a big fan
he is Aimee's Man
his name is Penn
escaping the LA mould
the Hydra monster to unfold
marrying a kindred spirit
she is nice but he's in it
he's the man
Michael Penn
I am a big fan
he may not be
the prince of men
but we know
his name is Penn
he's the man
Michael Penn
I am a big fan
he's doing what he can
his name is Penn
his name is Penn
try to remember if you can
his name is Penn
