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.

The Babysitter's Here
"The Honesty Room"
D A D A
Tonight was just great, she taught us the sign for peace
D A
Now she's made us some popcorn we've turned out the lights
Bm F#m
And we're watching movies
G Em A
I don't understand and she tries to explain
G Em A
How a spaceship is riding through somebody'y brain
D A G A
And there's blood and guts, Oh
D Bm A
She's the best one that we've ever had
G Em A
She sits on her hair and she's tall as my dad
G A
And she tie-dyed my shirt, and she pierced her own ear
Bm F#m G A D A
And it's peace man, cool yah, the babysitter's here
D A D A
Her boyfriend is Tom but we call him "the king of romance"
D A Bm F#m
He wears an American flag on the butt of his ripped up pants and
G Em A
Will they get married with kids of their own
G Em A
He says not if she's going to college we won't and he
D A G A
Kisses her oh
D Bm A
She's the best one that we've ever had
G Em A
She sits on her hair and she's tall as my dad
G A
And she got mad at dinner when Tom drank a beer
Bm F#m G A D
But peace man, cool hey, the babysitter's here
G A
And we all went to see her go dance at the high school
Bm F#m
We made her a big card
G A Bm F#m
And she told us that she'd be the unicorn wearing the pink leotard and
G Em A
There she was leaping up just like she said
G Em A
With a sparkling horn coming out of her head
D A G A
And she's ... oh ....
D A D A
But it's Saturday night, I can't sleep and I'm watching the news
D A Bm F#m
She says do me a favor don't go with a guy who would make you choose and
G Em A
I don't understand and she tries to explain
G Em A D A G A
And all that mascara runs down in her pain cause she's leaving me
D Bm A
You're the best one that we've ever had
G Em A
You sit on your hair and you're tall as my dad
G Em A
And I'll make you a picture for college next year
Bm F#m G A D Bm
