A song about the futility of trying to really express yourself...especially to someone you want to impress... 26th Failed Attempt: When I sat down here tonight and I decided I would write a love song to explain to you why I feel the way…

This song started with just the title. I think unappeasable is a fantastic word. Unappeasable: She’s so unappeasable I don’t think that she’s feasible. Oh, I’ve tried to be reasonable but she can’t see my point of view. She’s blind…
