Name: Backing w/Effect by danielrclark
Duration: 4 min 39 s
Description: There's no mystery behind the title - I recorded the various guitar parts over a 'backing' track that happened to have an effect on it. This is perhaps the most direct I've ever been lyrically and so whatever title I came up with seemed to cheapen it - and so 'backing w/effect' remained. Recorded in early 2003.

(for Clyde)

Used up my time
Spent my last dime
Now I'm going home

Stayed on too long
All my friends have gone
Now I'm going home

I've lost and I've won
Hit my home run
Now I'm going home

Saying a prayer
That I'll see you there
Cuz I'm going home

Going Home

Backing w/Effect

A very "up" track that I wrote for an anonymous pitch recently. Quite optimistic really...

The Optimist

The Builders

Under the waterfall
I can't breathe
If this keeps up at all
I'll disappear.

What's it like in outer space?

Give me the simple life
Nobody around
Falling in circles
Never hitting the ground.

What's it like in outer space?

What's It Like In Outer Space?

Every time I think I can forget it
I hear the same old song
And when I think I'm going to get it
It turns out I was wrong

Oh oh oh
Stupid fucking love

There's a big old house with nothing in it
But pictures on the wall
And scars for each pathetic minute
I spent waiting for your call

Oh oh oh
Stupid fucking love

Every time I think I'm going to get it
I hear the same old song
And when I think I'm going to get it
The numbers come up wrong

Oh oh oh
Stupid fucking love

Stupid Fucking Love
