this is the first song I wrote for my wife. it is an actually step by step of our first date. she opened the door and stood there smiling this exchange between us lasted forever so i took her in my car and went to eat some vietnamese food…

originally a fast tempo tune, i started slowing it down to add variety. it's hit or miss really. first you say, that you don't believe me then you say, that you cannot trust me then you say, that you can't forgive me then you say that it…

based on a poem from Charles Bukowski. the bass part is from an older song i wrote with a band call black water. i hate wasting good parts.
