my entry into the 2008 Sidedown Christmas challenge.
I tried the original Mel Torme chords and version and it just didn't fit for me, so i came up with my own chords and arrangement.
this was done around the same time as g=gone so it's a…

shame on me
let you preach
your foolish lies
have to try
expose the truth now
the big surprise
hey now, you listened quietly
you never questioned, once
the hate behind his eyes
as if the venom wouldn’t spread…
from the album the Vulnerary Songs
hard to not
crawl up under
a pile of rocks and die
scrapping by
on next to nothing
swallow my pride
protect and survive
magazine
it’s not loaded
hope I get out alive
all I seek
what I got coming
nobody has…

she hides her heart under the pillow
waiting for the good fairy to come
replace this worn and broken thing
with a heart that can feel again
she's never sure which night will be her lucky one
but she anticipates…

so it goes, so they say
he was taken from her that day
and her deep blue eyes went silent
just another sad tale, so sorry…

nobody forced my hand
nobody made me this way
nobody tried to stop me either
it’s not what i say, what i do

she tries to push me away
nothing that i can do
so hard just to maintain
and keep my mind focused
to not let my eyes betray
i’m watching her slide away
into the abyss, call it nothing
call it nothing…

seems like I felt this way before
but my memory is not to be trusted
so many things flashing through my brain
was it real or a dream or something else
you're staring at me like a criminal…

he’s hiding in plain sight
sends a message, don’t bother
drive away, refuse to fight
and try to be the father
left alone with the radio

it's time to paint it on again
adjust my smile smooth down my dress
make sure the shoes both match, and leave
jump in the car, i'm fast asleep
and all the people in my dreams

this is 4 bass tracks and drums
the 3rd song i wrote about my wife. maybe someday the second song will show up somewhere.
like a hunter hunts its prey
eyeing me, hungrily
can't keep her paws to herself
and i'm not about to fight it

this song is 6 bass parts on top of drum loops. each part is completely seperate mix and effect. that synth sound in the chorus is actually me singing falsetto with muey effects on it.
a song from a previous band (kill.pop.), i took the metal out of it and made it more dreamy. this is actually the 3rd version of this song that i've played.

Pour vous Tess.
Is there a ghost in these hills?
Something to run from
I've given way to cheap thrills
Problems have just begun
I walk alone, sink like a stone in…

Merry Christmas to you also, it was different, but I liked it.
amazing
what an amazing song.
what a strange song, I wonder what I was thinking.
the most perfect guitar solo break I ever wrote. love this.
Wow forgot about this one
Love what you did with this Brent. Took my dirge and made it an anthem.
Ah memories........d
can anyone guess what this song is about?
What's frightening about the remix bruv? Is it the way i slowed your vocals down and that?
I agree the My Bloody Valentine reference. That's a good thing, definitely.
Good stuff :-)
I like the band/ arrangement looseness in this one
stage setting intro
the intro is 4 ebow parts in harmony sorta.
Very My Bloody Valentine, nice work!
love the feel of this one - Morrisey-esque - should been on 'Viva Hate'
is this really you last album?
very 10 000 maniacs - love it - Tess sounds amazing as usual
i love this on so many levels

and that's my kid singing at the end of the song, which is pretty creepy.
it's drum loops from garageband.
still one of my favorite songs, like, ever.
