Artist Bio:

Born in Hollywood, California, Lawrence Ethan grew up contemplating his Suburban desert surroundings and aspiring to become a composer. "I had a long walk home from school and I would write rock operas in my head to pass the time". He was introduced to 'Rock & Roll' at a young age through his older sister in the form of Queen, Elton John, Aerosmith, and Pink Floyd.

Lawrence began his professional music career at the age of seventeen, sharpening pencils and scrubbing the shower for a chance to see how it all went down. While working in the studio as an engineer, he rubbed elbows with the likes of Tom Werman, and Desmond Child. Before he knew it 1991 had come to pass and he had four gold records to his name.

Inspiration for his music stems from some of the most credible facets in the music industry. Ranging from Pink Floyd to James Taylor. "I've always liked artists that seem approachable like James Taylor. You feel lucky to spend time with them, lucky that they are sharing with you. Sharing personal triumphs and tragedies. 'Yeah I was lost too, but it's ok'."

Lawrence's debut album Rock Paper Scissors is a diverse group of songs ranging from pop to rock. Take the first single 'Forevermore', a song about going to hell and back with love, giving up on love, and then finding it again. "Just when you think there is no such thing as 'true love', you get blind sided and there's nothing you can do. You think you've seen it all, you think you're jaded, your heart is dead and bam! you're in love, it's a beautiful thing."

'Wasted', an ode to the pop in pop/rock, is a song about being wrapped up in a lifestyle, letting time pass by, and not realizing it until after the fact. "I spent years of my life staying up all night, hanging out in Hollywood drinking, smoking, partying and waiting through the morning until they started selling beer at Rock 'n' Roll Ralph's at 6 am. When I came to my senses, years had passed and had to chalk it up to experience, just part of living. Some didn't survive, some disappeared, broken rock stars to be. Lost. I survived to be able to look back and say it wasn't a waste, it was a part of me, I lived."

Rock Paper Scissors combines pop, rock, and country elements. The Meaning behind the title comes from envisioning rock, paper, and scissors as diverse individual elements that in the context of the traditional game illustrate a perfect balance, no element having more or less power than the others."There's beauty in it's simplicity." In a time where the singer/songwriter is getting more rare, Lawrence Ethan is the remedy, the void Filler, by Writing, playing and recording all of his own material.

The sun is out and the sky is blue Im looking for clouds, a storm to ensue No matter the size Just a teardrop will do Cause whenever it rains Im thinking of you Whenever it rains Im thinking of you If you become faceless Or lost in a dream Ill find myself pushed to the other extreme Blacken the skies Darken the moon! Cause whenever it rains Im thinking of you Whenever it rains Im thinking of you Whenever it rains Im thinking of you Lightning struck today We both got swept away I'm drowning in my love, drowning in my love For you As the tide rises, up to my chin I beg god to help me, teach me to swim I don't want to lose you, torn limb from limb Cause whenever it rains Im thinking of you Whenever it rains Im thinking of you Whenever it rains Im thinking of you

Be, Live Times are tough the going's rough and you don't know what to do Just think about the years gone by and where your going to You've lost your love and you can't get enough of the things you need inside You gave it all then came to a wall but could not give up your pride And you think of the love that's wasted And you're not sure you can take it Anymore... So you close the door And shut down your heart And try to pretend Your not falling apart They ship you off to fight a war So far away from home The air is dry It makes you cry 'What am I fighting for?' They say he's mean and a bit obscene and he uses poison gas and you think of the life that's wasted And you pray your children grow up In a better world (solo) So you close the door And shut down your heart And try to pretend your not falling apart You've heard them say 'Their just one way' 'Your hopes and dreams are a lie' You Know the Truth It comes from your youth Those things that you desire Are all but gone A smoldering log Don't put out the fire When you look at the time that's wasted And you're not sure you can take it Anymore But you open the door And let go of your heart And try to believe Your not falling apart
