American singer-songwriterDar Williams lives at the intersection of popand folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade. Her most recent 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.

When I Was A Boy Lyrics
Dar Williams
Words and music by dar williams
I wont forget when peter pan came to my house, took my hand
I said I was a boy; Im glad he didnt check.
I learned to fly, I learned to fight
I lived a whole life in one night
We saved each others lives out on the pirates deck.
And I remember that night
When Im leaving a late night with some friends
And I hear somebody tell me its not safe, someone should help me
I need to find a nice man to walk me home.
When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom,
Climbed what I could climb upon
And I dont know how I survived,
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew.
And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too.
