1/2 past midnight 30 - Chapter 1: "The Hunt is Off"

Started this track approximately one year ago and recently opened it up and re-recorded/re-mixed most elements. The three sections were developed from a sample of my favourite Steely Dan song, "Time Out Of Mind", which I cut up. I removed the sample from two sections of the song and was going to do that for the "verse", but I think it works to kick the song off and felt weird to only have it in the intro.

On NYE some friends came over and helped me with the group vocals at the end.

The characters in this song have no confidence in themselves and are in love with each other.

Saving up my loving for a while
I don't care if I would live or die

It's not like you
To hang around here
Any longer than you have to

And I know I coulda saved ya
If I'd only had a heart
And if I'd only started sooner
Coulda cacooned ya
'Stead of abusin' ya
It's easy enough to say the things we shoulda said way back when
It won't change nothin' 'bout the present

You know I waited for you
I can't live without you
You know I waited for
I find myself in danger

Of becoming permanently disconnected
Losing the ability for self-reflection
It's a mess and I can't seem to correct
No one gets my respect
Somehow dysfunctional but erect
I lack direction: just check out my record collection

On your arrival he was overly receptive
And on your return he was overly protective

It barely matters to me anymore
Whether you love me or hate me,
Show me the door
If it's locked or there's anything
Blocking the entry
That's just gonna be too much hassle for me

Just because I don't like the way
You move on the dancefloor
Doesn't mean you had to stop on my account
Matter of fact, I suck at dancing too

I'm not waking up.
