Long Gone

Former SpinART recording artist Zeke Fiddler's version of the VU classic, "Candy Says", on which he sings and plays everything, except the drums, which he got from editing my drum part from Lo Fine's "Stay in Bed". He didn't tell me he was doing this--he just handed me a CDR one night in 2001 (or so) outside the Baystate without explanation. I still love listening to this. 

Candy Says (Zeke Fiddler)


there to disappear

with muted senses
searching so as not to find
shuffling our feet as
all our precious clocks
unwinding and wily
what be your business here?
if not to remind me of
all I truly am

and then, and there to disappear
oh,to disappear
and then, and there to disappear

guarded ignorance
wonder doesn't have a name
curtsy to indifference as
night follows days again
no time for distance
let me ring a bell in your ear
all out of patience
I turn another page

and then, and there to disappear
oh,to disappear
and then, and there to disappear

all these demands, this rush for affection
'just saying, who needs love when we've got protection?

and then, and there to disappear
oh, to disappear
and then, and there to disappear
to disappear

Rightly

there to disappear

I Gotta Get Outta Here

Sick Of Losing Soulmates - Dodie Clark

A few of these--and you can tell the difference--are from 2005 and were recorded on a digital 8 track that I was given and had no idea how to use. Plus, the drums come from a Casio keyboard I worked manually. Everything used on those songs perished in a fire, and in 2007 I started using Garageband for demos. Aahhh...much better. And incredibly close to what the albums sound like.
