"4 more?"

Pen, Ink & marker illustration on clay-board, then scratch-board techniques to carve out detail, scanned in and digitally finished.

Question: Do you think this would be stronger if I had 1 or 2 balloons floating away in the background, plus 1 or 2 strings and popped pieces on the ground? Thoughts?

Lycanthropy is no excuse not to finish your tax forms.  Happy Halloween, everybody!  

Originally recorded on 10/9/09. No lyrics/melody. Recently remixed it with my updated Ableton.

Acoustic guitar (recorded live with pickup that attaches to soundhole, through a PolyPhone amplifier.), programmed drums, tamborine & synths.
Recorded at HotDang! Studios, Laguna Hills, CA. via Ableton Live Lite (v.6) - remixed via v.8

All instrumentation, programming and arrangement by me.

I tried to rip you away from the cold
The anchors hooked beneath your eyes made you old
You'd sold your touch to a gray satellite
And now sat in swamps, watching slumped shadows fight

Oh, how you trusted me to
Mend your rusted gears...
...And how quickly I drained you of a year

It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
I didn't mean to break your heart

Fireflies are cold wolves' eyes
The wind outside is a whispering knife
Every leaf that descends is a thief's footfall
So you trade your fence for a ten-foot wall
To keep out the lunatics and dogs
Whose laces and teeth will do you harm
That hypno-tick/tock clock on the wall
Has stopped

Oh, how my tongue meant every
Word it threw
But how quickly I turned your green eyes blue

It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
I didn't mean to break your heart

There on the riverbed
Is the wreckage of what I wanted
I'm sorry I couldn't be
Anything but a wasp
Stinging a sad heart stung enough

Threw this song together over the past couple hours or so using Robo J's instrumental track "Untitled Instrumental I." This version is extremely rough, and it didn't turn out at all how I wanted it to, but I just wanted to go ahead and upload it. I'm definitely going to re-record it. Hopefully I'll have time to do it tomorrow.

FRIENDLY FIRE:

I tried to rip you away from the cold
The anchors hooked beneath your eyes made you old
You'd sold your touch to a gray satellite
And now sat in swamps, watching slumped shadows fight

Oh, how you trusted me to
Mend your rusted gears
And how quickly I drained you of a year...

It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
I didn't mean to break your heart

Fireflies are cold wolves' eyes
The wind outside is a whispering knife
Every leaf that descends is a thief's footfall
So you trade your fence for a ten-foot wall
To keep out the lunatics and dogs
Whose laces and teeth will do you harm
That hypno-tick/tock clock on the wall
Has stopped

Oh, how my tongue meant every
Word it threw
But how quickly I turned your green eyes blue

It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
I didn't mean to break your heart

There on the riverbed
Is the wreckage of what I wanted
I'm sorry I couldn't be
Anything but a wasp
Stinging a sad heart stung enough

It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
It was just friendly fire
I didn't mean to break your heart
