By the time I did this most recent version of "And So It Begins," I had purchased a drum machine and a reverb unit. I was sure they would work well for quick demos with a reasonably full (and at least slightly professional) sound. So I started programming and playing back drum patterns as I played my keyboard live, straight onto cassette. I called the method "Demos Direct."

I made a few attempts at this version, testing different reverb settings. I thought this one worked the best. The sound could be better -- the slow strings, much as I love that layer, muddy things up -- and things go off the rails a little after the break as I can't quite keep up with the speed I've programmed for the drum pattern.

I will be trying this on for size again one of these days, bringing together the best parts of all three previous attempts and hopefully finally making the definitive version.

LYRICS

With the grass so green
Sun coating everything
That day felt a lot like walking through a dream
And with the sky so blue
We snuck into the church at school
To play a song while no one else was watching us

With the sun so bright
Walking side by side
Let me tell you that nothing ever felt so right
And with the sky so blue
A feeling in my heart strings grew
It was then I knew that I would fall in love with you

So blue
Sky so blue
So blue
Just like a dream

I can see those skies clear in my mind
Frozen in time, frozen in time
Like a scene I picked from my dreams
I can’t tell apart from reality
I hope that I can find my way out
Before I get caught in fantasy world
And get too wrapped up in what it could be
Back on my bullshit, I’m such an Aries
So I break down, stuck in my doubts
Jump too far in just to fall out
Things aren’t the way I thought them to be
There’s so many miles still set forth for me
Hop in the car, take the top down
And when we get out, drive it around
Clouds part ways and now I can see
The sky is blue above me

Sky So Blue

Come Over

written recorded and produced by broox in his bedroom in texas

 thanks for listening <3


you didnt have to call me tonight
you could have just drove over and stepped right inside, 
but here you are 
and here i am
i find myself such a lucky man
 to get to hold your lovely hand tonight

oooooo
my baby u can stop by anytime 

but you didnt have to leave me alone
you said i hurt your feelings and now you wanna go home
so there u go
a sad goodbye
i find myself such a stupid guy
to let you drive away from me tonight


ooooooo
my baby you can stop by anytime

anytime
