about

This was recorded in two parts - one day during college I showed up for a Pro Tools lab that turned out to have no point - they had altered the curriculum and hadn't yet figured out what to do with that time slot. So I went home, got my guitar, came back, and recorded this song in about three hours. I wrote it on the spot, basing it on a guitar line I had been playing around with, and attempting to build the rest of the song around a single A chord.

I liked it a lot, so I took the mix home and wrote lyrics for it over the next week or so, then recorded the vocals in a studio over thanksgiving break. I love how it turned out.

lyrics

Lyrics:
You know it won't be the last time that I call you even if I say it will.
And you know I'm only holding out for a little more fidelity.
And just because you've got me on a string doesn't mean I shouldn't have the best of you.
And if I ask for a little more time or happiness - all the things you have the power to give.
Does it mean that you should walk all over me, or should I take away your shoes?
And just because you have the power to hurt me, baby, doesn't mean that you have to.

And I will take it in if it's mine. And if I suffer, I'll do it quietly.
And I will take it in if it's mine. And if I suffer, I'll do it quietly.

about

limesix Orlando

Limesix is a rock band, in the 90s tradition. They maybe sound a bit like Portastatic, Yo La Tengo, and Say Hi, hopefully with some sly nods to Prince.

Smooth Sailing
by Mike Pace and the Child Actors

(I'm describing "End Times Behind" although this album is great too) I slept on this song and its companion - all his recent singles are great, but this pair has been a salve for me in recent days. limesix
