Biography:
American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade.
Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.
Her 2008 album, entitled Promised Land.

F G C
The first part of every day for me is good
F G C
I've got the bus stop in my neighbourhood
Em F C
And everything's on purpose, everywhere they go
Em F G
Hiding in my car and running in the snow
C Em Am G
Running with the friends they'll know for years
F C Csus4/F C
I've seen it all from here, from here
G F C
Happens every day, before they go to school
G F C
They play until the bus drives up beside my lawn
G F C
And there's always been a mother who waits 'til they are gone
Am
Then she turns away
C Em F G C
Happens every day
F G C
Noon comes and turns this campus upside down
F G C
I watch the students in this college town
Em F C
You would think they're carefree, I have seen their trials
Em F G
Frowning into Shakespeare and practicing their smiles
C Em Am G
Even underlining Nabokov
F C Csus4/F C
When I am not in love, in love
G F C
It happens every day, with their journals in cafes
G F C
Looking up at their reflection on the other wall
G F C
With every new idea wondering if they've changed at all
Am
And then they look away
C Em F G C F G C F G C
Happens every day
F G C
Well, life is as hard and as easy as they say
F G C
Walking the steps we've chosen on this day
Em F C
Some will be outrageous, some have rarely shown
Em F G
Some will walk in couples, some will walk alone
C Em Am G
As I think about the world I see
F C Csus4/F C
They stare and smile at me, at me
G F C
It happens every day at the crossing of the street
G F C
Walking out to see what's new and what is just the same
G F C
And the only word for love is everybody's name
Am
And that will always stay
Em
Happens every day
F G Am F G C F G C C
And every day will happen without you
