Great song, soft rock,,, your guitar playing is very fine,,,question is there a drop out about 2 min into the piece,, could just be my speakers,, their not very good...nice work
Thanks, Gary. All of the credit for the keys (and the awesome stick bass in the verses) goes to Clarke McMurray. He killed it. This song has an odd feature where I'm playing bass in the choruses and Clarke is playing stick in the verses.
I got a friend, his name is Tim, and he really likes donkey songs.

When my 'whole morning for recording' turned into 30 minutes, I did this. Beep beep;
Driving all over the fucking road.
Left right left right doesn't really matter.
In n out of lanes in my mitsubishi colt
Left right left right doesnt really…
Interpret this song as you wish. The inspiration is a rash of door to door religion salesmen that plague my neighborhood. The conversations they try to engage me in made me ponder their motivation for grace.

way to go
great escape
such a clever girl you are
made the grade
change the course
all because of what she said
climb up the ladder
release the lion trapped inside
all our thoughts…
from the album 'ZERO'
with Alex Moody on Vocals
lover cease
and desist what you say
cause there's a ton of trouble
coming your way
lover be strong
it's gonna be a crazy ride
but when it all hits the fan
i'll be the one with the plan…
from the album 'ZERO'
featuring Tess Savigear on vocals
as you wish said the boy
to the girl with the sparkling eyes
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…
from the album "ZERO"
with Alex Moody on vocals
if you believe in the miracle of trust
and that karma's hands always touch
everything, whether near or out of touch
gotta keep on reaching, cause it never hurts
to try, it's not so hard…
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Meg Radley on vocals
wait a day
might as well stay, awhile
here with me
where the breeze, blows
just say now
time grows shorter
then we dream
awake a scream, out loud
leaving leaves a hole
kicks around…
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Tess Savigear on vox
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…
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Alex Moody on vocals
you used to be
someone I could believe in
someone much better than me
and now you're no better than the others
i'm sorry to say...
you weren't so smart
locking yourself in your house…
from the album "ZERO"
alex moody on vocals
I am, wasting away
the older I get
approaching the end of the line
I never meant to be
here at this time
but circumstance and chance have me
behind, is the glass half full
does it matter, I…
from the album ZERO
featuring Alex Moody on vocals
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
seem so…

My boss thinks he's a donkey jockey. He's always riding my . . . ahem, this is a family site. Sorry. Nice song, though. ER
And a man doesn't just cook, he barbecues! He's a gourmet, right? ER
Great guitar, your voice matches up well with the music, carnival ending is nice

Dig that fuzzed out guitar!
This is very FNG!!!
Is this about terrible Ted Nugent???
Excellent guitar tone.
Yeah- that put a smile on my face!
Everybody should listen to THIS song RIGHT NOW. iPodded and on speed dial. (He ain't no doll.)
GREAT track! Love your vocals and seemingly effortless song-writing! Truly excellent stuff.
Clever. Almost like Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise.
Fuckin' excellent.
I love your noises Tim. Keep making them.
yeah! very cool.
(And the intro is fab also.)
Awesome album! Downloaded as soon as the kiddywinks are in bed!
Is that a TARGET stores mascot puppet in your profile pic? Duomo???
Damn, I really, really dig your style man.
Silly Rabbit!!!

Hey wait - that's ME!
A farfeeza, a marimba, a surf beat, and a Dick Dale guitar line. What more could you ask for?!?!
Subtle and pretty from Sha-Pink? And it works!
And now some early Depeche Mode... It's like an updated version of New Life, covered by Thomas Dolby. Damn, guys. Just damn.
Makes me think of Blancmange! Another awesome tune. It sounds like the fun is out in full effect for Sha-Pink this year.
This song is everything I love about Sha-Pink! Awesome B-52's vibe on this tune. Great job, guys. (uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh)
I had an absolute blast working on this track, and it's about ME!!!!!
Fabulous work, Alex. It matters! beep-beep.
This is one of your best vocal performances ever, Brian.
Oh. Meg…. What a fabulous way to round out the album.
The build and the slinky bassline on this tune are so great. And Alex kills the vocals yet again.
I adore the part where Tess's voice breaks up oh-so slightly at about 3:40. Awesome.
I had a lot of fun playing with the effects on Alex's voice on this one. Another great song.
Just lovely, and I really like the build.
Tess lets her voice slink through this song. Just a fantastic vocal.
Another tremendous arrangement.
Alex hit it out of the park on this one, taking a great song and making it even better.
I love the push-pull of this song.
Damn, Andy. Just damn. You're operating on a whole different level, as usual.
