A cover of John Mayer's "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)", done in collaboration with my friend Derek and Spiderdrum. This cover is based largely on his live version from the Where the Light Is album. 
This really just started out as a rhythm guitar riff that I thought might be a fun jam, and expanded when we decided to try recording a full version of the song. Most of the credit goes to Derek for doing all the production and tweaking, and coming up with some pretty creative sounds to fill it out. Thanks to Spiderdrum for recording a great drum track for us, and to Christina for throwing down a little trumpet.

I Don't Trust Myself (Cover) - with Derek Fine and Spiderdrum

Laid down the basic tracks for a song I've been working on for a while. Will add vocals in time but I thought the instrumental was a decent listen.

Lyrics:
Now that I know just who you are,
I can't miss you.
Still want to kiss you, 
But I've held out for so long.
Tried to stay strong,
But I still can't tell who was right or wrong.

So let it fall, let it slip away,
All the thoughts that brought you hope some other day.
Just let it fall, let it slip away,
Hope that in time it might be okay.
