My first official Accordion Record! Written 1/11/11

If you like this, please check out version 2 that I recently recorded. http://hitrecord.org/records/629281

A little Folktronic(?) piece of music@135BPM

I've had an idea for some kind of music video.

At first, someone is stepping out of a hospital door.

Then he starts running faster as the song progresses.

With the last refrain you can see him dancing with a lot of other people in a club or something. :o

Sounds weird enough but in my phantasy it's amazing. :)

This should ring some definite bells!

i don't know where i've been

i can't recall if i'm wearing thin

i don't mind if i'm lost

i don't mind if i'm tired and frail and lost

i left a man in my wake

resented him for what he had to say

i don't mind that i'm alone

i don't mind that my heart, it carries stones

my heart, it carries stones

i told it all, unedited

i told it all like i remembered it

they interlocked and then they fled

and met again, but the love they'd made was dead

i am no historian

i'm prone to error in the records i give

i am proud of what i feel

i am proud that my skin is tempered steel

my skin is tempered steel

I found Jooshua's guitar track and it sounded like a simple/sweet love song. So, that is just what I made it out to be. I wanted to try something different, and I played some real drums and piano for once, hopefully that trend will continue. The lyrics are overly simple, perhaps somebody else may want to write up something better, but they work for what the song is.

And finally, and most importantly, the awesome Robo J was kind enough to add some kicking bass to the tune. Well, there you have it. Hope the mix sounds ok. I tried some new things.

she says her heart's

only as good her word

if that's any indication

i'm in a world of hurt

she's a tiger who sharpens her claws

on the bones of her kill

i know i am next

she doesn't care to listen

to those she can't control

and those that came up missing

were casualties of war

she's a tiger who sharpens her claws

on the bones of her kill

i know i must be next

this wasn't how it was meant to be

these love letters you wrote for me

how did they end up in the fireplace

far removed from your warm embrace

i should have been a tougher kid

when we were invisible everything was on fire and it started with a glitch wandering back from the deathly rain into a Scrimp N Save dreaming of a garden to bury things in while rowing a boat gently down the stream merrily dreaming life is but nothing big.

all this occurring in exactly eleven minutes and eleven seconds.
