Bill deRome

Recorded late at night in a quiet room using only an AT4033 that just happened to be situated almost perfectly.  This one came out pretty good, which got me thinking I might be able to do one every week.  The whole point is to let people hear what I’ve been working on writing without having to hassle through mixing and mastering ’studio’ versions.  I don’t want to make anyone wait any longer than they’d have to.  Also, this lets me hear it out loud and get ideas.  Enjoy!

Lyrics:

you’re the favorite life on a seasprung boat /

tied a thousand knots and you still don’t know /

what you’re gonna be when you stem the tide /

but you’ll sleep your best tonight /

tell the friends back home of the things you’ve bought /

build a great big house on the neighbor’s lot /

when the money goes you can pay with pride /

if they told you this, they lied /

i used to be whole. one land between sea /

conflicting ideals are wearing on me /

my seas they won’t shine. my amber won’t wave /

keep filling your face /

well you told yourself that you’d never leave /

when the foreman goes you can get your sleep /

and you left your friends but the phone still rings /

start packing your things
