A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)

Richard, this is absolutely gorgeous! Never have I heard a soul drift from the heart, to the arms, to the fingers that are like butter as they touch the keys. You are brilliant! w;-)
Last night I dreamed I was a dancer
In an old off Broadway show
And I danced with the girls in balcony
And I sang to the mezzanine row
It was Tin Pan Alley and Salvador Dali

So you stopped coming round
Your heart buried in the ground
It's a shock, it's a scene
You never say what you mean
Emotional landmines

How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful
How you gonna walk when you never run?
Chip off the block your father's son
You're an eye sore
And I wonder if I'll bend under
The weight of…

The title track. At one point I had visions of everyone singing at the end of the album (and thank you to those of you that did), but I just couldn't get it to sound right (I don't really know what I'm doing after all). So instead of voices…
Part of a collaborative effort done here. My friend sent me these guitar parts which I arranged, twisted and morphed to create this. I added the percussion and other non musical elements thanks to my kids playing while I was experimenting with…
