Kevin Mcphee RBMA X 3024 Dovercourt Takeover Boiler Room Toronto DJ Set

On a sweaty beer soaked night in May of 2006, some guys and a chick drank beer and did a live off the floor recording of a bunch of the most rockinest tunes ever..the band was called Dovercourt. 

03 I Ain't Your Boyfriend

I arrived two hours early
But I was too late for you.
I strode along the beach 
At Dovercourt
My heels sinking 
In the wet sand and shingle
My heels sinking 
In the wet sand and shingle

The wind was so strong 
That the gulls seemed 
to float on the air
Without flapping their wings
The wind was so strong 
That the gulls seemed 
to float on the air
Without flapping their wings
And a cross-channel ferry
Sat on the horizon
Then was suddenly gone

Five years when I saw you
Now a man 
With his tie inside out
Hurries towards an empty pew
And the ushers are 
Laying out the flowers
That your friends 
Had brought for you
And taking up the messages
And scraping the tack 
That was stuck
To the lid of your coffin

Oh My heels were sinking 
In the wet sand and shingle

My visit was 
regrettably overdue
But you would have laughed -
I made it in such good time
To bury you

Alright.
So this is No.3 of 5. I took a little break but it is here and there is another one that will be quickly on its way by the end of this week!

This track ended up being something I would picture to go with an ending of a movie that has a somewhat tragic ending. Hopefully you hear what I did when i was trying to make it. Comment and let me know what you think please!

This project will come to an end soon but there is a lot of new and exciting stuff happening that I'm looking forward to sharing with ya'll.

Peace for now.
