Tonight I'm Falling

This is another song from The Motherfunkers studio demo (circa 93). I wrote this song at my friend Johnny's house, and recorded a version with no vocals. I presented it to The Motherfunkers and they did their magic with it. The first time I heard the vocal was at one of our first gigs, Phil showed up with lyrics to our new song and sang it for the first time LIVE. I was floored, and his lyrics and melody made this one of my favorite songs that I've contributed to.

Guitars - Roger Sullivan

The Motherfunkers - Jennifer

I worked and re-worked this strange instrumental. The thematic idea was to not have parts recur later in the piece, except for the main theme, which is re-stated with completely different drum parts. A lot of odd meters, and changing of meters goes on, and some scary guitar histrionics ensue. Enjoy.
