This was recorded in the garage. Using only an AT4033 at a relative distance between vox and guitar. Not the best quality, but I’m experimenting with recording styles right now for speed and ease.

Lyrics:

You could have what you want but how would you ever know? /

Seems whole in the front, but in the side there’s a hole /

What can I say without affecting the whole world? /

I didn’t mean to be late /

it just feels like bad luck /

when the going gets easy you can never be sure /

I only eat if you feed me / you’d better show /

would you sit down in front? / i can’t see from the back row /

and to belabor the point i have a habit of sitting low /

what can i say that you can hear from your own world? /

i didn’t mean to be late / it just feels like bad luck /

oh… what am i saying? / you’re my hero

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

Don’t miss it..
