Disco Curtis – Breaking Hearts Lyrics 16 years ago
"Breaking Hearts was inspired by a girl I dated in high school
who had been in a previous relationship with a guy who got what
we wanted sexually out of her and then left.
I have seen this act multiple times and it breaks my heart.
It's not a game, it's a real person with real feelings.
I felt so sick by the whole situation that I felt the need to write about it.
I say "I was hoping that we were meant to be" because I wanted to be a
light in her dark world. In the second chorus, when I say
"I was hoping that HE wasn't gonna say this," I'm referring
to the guy who got what he wanted out of her.
The idea is that I wish HE hadn't said whatever he
said to convince her that he was a catch. "I can't afford
to let my feelings go" because I can't ignore this situation;
this may be my only chance to prove myself to this girl who
I cared so much about at the time. But with so many selfish/deviant guys,
it's hard to tell when you can and can't trust one. I wanted this song
to perhaps be a warning to vulnerable people who will encounter
these situations.. Or if someone can relate to this song from past experience,
(which I hope more than anything that they can't relate) they have a song
that tells their story- and they are not alone."

Disco Curtis – Alone And Loving It Lyrics 16 years ago
"Alone and Loving describes my attitude/mind set after "Ashley" and
other past girls became nothing more than past regrets.
The idea is that I'd rather be alone than to put myself
through that kind of hell again.. And even if I were to find
someone that seemed ideal, would it be the same situation
all over again? Regardless of my feelings, I "don't dare open my mouth"
out of fear from past relationships. Being alone is better than being
in a dysfunctional relationship. But I can't be "alone" for forever."

Disco Curtis – Surprise Me Lyrics 16 years ago
"That song was inspired by a relationship in which I was a complete slave to this girl..
The chorus is about being whipped. I was with this girl, so I felt obligated to write a song about her.
The verses praise her, while the chorus describes how miserable I felt in having my emotions completely controlled by her."

-From Tanner Howe himself on his formspring. :]
