This song is about a girl's subconscious justifying the killing of her cheating boyfriend and the chorus is sung from the perspective of the dying boyfriend. 
I wanted it to sound up lifting and happy but be about something dark. 
It was inspired by the Tom Waits quote, "I love beautiful melodies telling me terrible things." 

Recorded by John Wilson and Homero S Glez at the beautiful Robert Lang Studios in Shoreline WA. 

This song, and others are part of my band Enten Eller with Brian Richard Sloss. The album will be coming out in the fall. This page is just to show what I'm up to in the mean time. 

Annie - Brent James Driscoll

On track with the concept of the album is Sing Me Home. It's a song about a dying man pleading with his son to end his life and send him on his way. The son is conflicted of course and has no desire to end his fathers life but respects his decision to do what he asks. 

This song will be on the debut album of Enten Eller coming out in the fall. 

Sing Me Home - Brent James Driscoll

This is about those relationships that you don't want to continue but you keep fighting against your better judgement and do it anyway. 
The 4 am booty calls, the continuous starting and ending, tragic but pleasure filled cluster fuck that is a relationship like the one I'm talking about here. 

This one will be on the debut album of Enten Eller as well with a full band behind it. I just liked the acoustic version too. 

What Do You Mean? - Brent James Driscoll

Unfinished version of this. 
Adding vocals soon. 
I'm just posting it so I can send links to collaborators. 
That pedal steel though... :)

I am trying to create music that is beautiful and relates to the listener as much as anyone else. I want to create stories within the songs that at first listen, might be lost because the melody doesn't take you in the direction the lyrics take you. 
This album is going to be based off the Tom Waits quote, "I love beautiful melodies telling me terrible things."

It's a concept album encompassing that incredible philosophy by an incredible musician. 

More will be uploaded soon. When the album is finished in the fall it will be put out as my band with best friend/co writer Brian Richard Sloss as Enten Eller. 

I hope you enjoy what you hear. Please send me comments, critiques and whatever else you have to say.
