Back For More was the 5th song written for Naked Sunday's first EP. It is about a girl(just like most of them) and her moving away right after things were just starting to get serious. This song expresses the anger, denial, and acceptance of the…

Bad Decisions was the last song added to the original EP, but was actually written years before the band formed. Jason co-wrote this song with his old college roommate and the song was revived for the new EP. It is a simple song about the joys…

Close Enough, like Bad Decisions, was also written before the band was formed and brought back for the first EP. It was written after a pretty hard break up and is still a personal favorite.

MIGHT BE A SIGN
I didn’t think about you all this weekend
While I was standing in the rain
I didn’t worry ‘bout where you were going

This is totally different from anything else I have ever done, pretty crazy and very poor rap I am sure but I do like it and I would love to find an adventurous bunch of people to do it as a dance.

This, along with the male voice opening track is very simple and very strong. Walking anticlockwise in file, arms straight up, palms up for Hayy (Life), arms down, palms push towards earth, for Allah.
