about

My new song "The Man Who Thinks He Can" is the first release from my upcoming Dfactor solo full-length release "Nostalgia for Now" due out Summer 2018.

"The Man Who Thinks He Can" is Dfactor Dave's delicious powerpop whack at a turn-of-the-century positive attitude poem written by Walter D. Wintle (and later popularized by the famous Napoleon Hill. See lyrics below. Dfactor created the melody, arrangement, vocal harmonies and everything else but drums on the song.

This single is the first song from my upcoming solo release "Nostalgia for Now". It will include 10 new Dfactor songs, ranging from straight up punky powerpop to classic garage rock, some synth and piano tracks and more of Dfactor's curious musings about life, love and the gratitude above.

While playing shows and recording with his PHX, AZ-based trio Action Jets over the past few years, Dfactor Dave squeezed in some solo recordings, including "The Times Have Changed" EP and the most excellent "Summer Driving Hits" release. See more of the recent output at dfactor.bandcamp.com/music.

Stay tuned for another new track release in a few weeks!

lyrics

Thinking: The Man Who Thinks He Can
By: Walter D. Wintle

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t,
If you like to win, but you think you can’t
It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or later the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

BE THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN!
BE THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN!
