Discover America

Discover America is the second studio album by Van Dyke Parks released by Warner Bros. in 1972. Its sound is a major departure from his debut record, Song Cycle (1967), featuring all cover versions of previously written songs. The album mostly features songs popularized by early Calypso musicians, as well as songs by Allen Toussaint ("Occapella" and "Riverboat"), Little Feat ("Sailin' Shoes"), John Philip Sousa ("Stars and Stripes Forever") and one song of unknown origin ("Be Careful"). The title of the album is derived from the poem "I Am Waiting" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

From way up on the 100th floor the people look like nothing more than ants just bumping into one another.
If you grew up way too slow in a small town under snow then you get a little nervous around people that you never met.
I watch the players play their parts with eager wanting hearts.
Such an impressive cast of cunning improvisers.
Mister director tell me what's my cue.
Forgot my lines and what to do.
I'd be happy with some tape to stand on but no one bothered teaching me any songs.
So I stand here in the corner just humming along.
Welcome to my little bubble.
Don't want to cause no trouble.
Don't want no complications.
Not fond of confrontations.
Welcome to my little bubble.
I'm going to share it with ya.
I'm going to take your picture.
I'm going to put it in my wallet.
