All the Answers

about

Chart-topping indie radio artist Dave Molter and 2018 Josie Awards winner Annemarie Picerno join forces for the first time in "All the Answers," a funky, funny, swampy stomper that anyone who loves or has loved will appreciate! Written by Molter and recorded at Albey Road Studio in Pittsburgh with producer Al Snyder at the helm, "Answers" tells the story of a wandering minstrel who strays a bit too far, only to be put in his place by his jilted lover.

"This is a cautionary tale," says Molter, who admits that the tune is semi-autobiographical. "It's one of my oldest songs. I wanted a powerful female presence to share vocals, and when I heard Annemarie's duet "Money Pain" (with Bob McGilpin), I knew she'd be the perfect foil for my somewhat dim-witted protagonist." Dave and Annemarie have never met in person — she laid down her soulful, over-the-top vocal in Nashville. Smooth guitar by Danny Gochnour (Houserockers) and tight lines from Pittsburgh's premiere brass section, The Soulville Horns add just the right touches, and the drumming of Joey Waslousky and piano by Snyder make for a cohesive whole.

lyrics

I drove into the city
We had a gig that night in town
Six months on the road now
I was feelin mighty down

Pulled up to the stage door
And she was standin’ there
She had eyes as blue as the morning sky
And the sunlight in her hair


I knew that I should walk on by
'Cause you were waitin' there at home
But bein' young and foolish
I guess that I was bound to roam
We hit her place together
I thought she fit me like a glove
When I woke up early next mornin’
I knew that it was stone, cold love

For the first time in my life I thought I had all the answers
I did the math but it came out incomplete
But I knew you’d be Okay ‘cause, hey ...
You always were a dancer
And me, I was born to trip on my own feet

I thought I had all the answers
I thought I had all the answers
I thought I had all the answers
But I was wrong

Things got strange with my new love
She started runnin' hot and cold
She called me up at 3 a.m. And told me it was getting old
She said

“I only like you ‘cause you play in a rock n roll band
I never really loved And I don’t believe I ever can”

When I got back home I realized
It was you who had the answer
I watched you pack my bags and say,
“Baby, hit the street.”
And as I slowly walked away
I said “Damn! Sshe always was a dancer”
And me, I was born to trip on my own feet

I thought I had all the answers
I thought I had all the answers
I thought I had all the answers
But I was wrong
