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.)
This song was inspired by the Life of Pi...and yes, i feel like a drifter at times, floating, going no where.
I've been drifting
i've been drifting for days
going no where
being driven by the waves
driven mad by the wind and her voices…
learning....forever learning to look beyond the circumstance, look beyond the pain, and maybe find peace through the pain....
in my valleys
in my darkest hours
when the water has risen so high
there's no support to be found
I'm battered…
I'd be lying if I said this entire track wasn't sparked by the opening audio clip. It really made me think about the ways some people create their own enjoyment. Cool.
I don't want to leave you
I don't want to turn and walk the other way
i don't want to leave you
even though you've never heard my name
and i rise from my grave
as if the world was mine to save
you were so cold and lonely
your offer…
Hi Anthony, Yep that's me singing on "brand new hobby". I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for the kind words!
BTW...THIS CUT IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!

This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
My big hit, I guess. Everyone seems to love this track. I do too. It's inspired by The Mars Volta's track "L'Via L'Viaquez," but I took things in more of a Pink Floyd direction with the extended synth solo that is evocative of the instrumental…
