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.)
Just stopped by to return the appreciation, but i LOVE this tune!! The sarcastic comments... haven't enjoyed something like that in a while. Just a thought, ever think about swapping the effect of the melody singer and the talking voice? I think it could be an interesting mix. But i am known to be wrong... alot...
were you guys tap dancing in the studio or what? It's so tightly woven into the continuous bass and rhythm tracks. And then it follows with all the layered strings... yeah, this one for sure. ;)
Dedicated to my friend Paul Lennon.
Once You asked me
If I could see the end
It's okay to tell the truth
I don't want you to pretend
And I said I would not lie
But I don't believe it ends
It goes on And on Forever Forever
It goes on…

Nice, very nice!
Tell your kids - we'll send lyrics to "old" soon! We got a real kick out of their question about "just remember i'm santa clause :)
And, thanks for the kind words :)
WOW Colin - jut listened to the whole cd! HOLY CRAP - FABULOUS, FABULOUS, FABULOUS! "One Note Blues", "Still No Place for Me" and "The View" - KICK SERIOUS ASS!

This is us tempting fate. Jumping the shark refers to a defining moment on the TV show "Happy Days" when Fonzie literally jumps over a shark on waterskis -- all while wearing his leather jacket. Everyone watching immediately knew the show would…
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
Keep Shining Through- Last minute lyrics…kind of a cop-out, since it’s a song about song-writing. I didn’t have any better ideas and after losing so much time from the outage I had to just bust out what I could. It was pretty much written on the…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
My response to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."
The first time I dropped my lowest string
Was for Rocky Mountain High
Last night I caught a flight
To see the fire in the sky
Where John found twenty-seven
Now I'm turning thirty-five…

This song's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!

Hypnotic.
This is an absolute classic. C-l-a-s-s-i-c.
I absolutely love this, especially the wonderful interlude of clapping and tapping. 12 minutes is nothing, it speeds by too quickly!
I really dig this whole album
What a great melody!
The piano and strings are a lovely combination...both are very emotive instruments. A lovely piece.
Been a while since I heard this. Why did I not fav it last time?
Very peaceful. Don't know how I missed this one of yours
Full of imagery. I love songs that paint me a picture.
very pretty.
