Found this arrangement left over from RPM. The drum track was already mixed from my old kit. I cut it and mashed it up trying to fix it when I mix it.
Then I added some vintage synth sounds, some guitars, and some reptilian…

Two-part tune. The first part is "Untitled," and the second part (based on the last bit of "Untitled") is "Sugar." We went for the slow version for the record. We also play "Punk Sugar" and have messed around with "Country Sugar" and "Reggae…

Check out the quasi-reggae breakdown right in the middle. The chorus is in 7/8 with the exception of the last measure, which is 8/8. Mike does the backup vox.

I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.

What we are is mostly water
On our way back to the sea

I'm just glad you're here with me
Fall alone or fall together

You and me, we will reach the sea
And have need for names no more…

"Miss She" is another step in my late-blooming evolution as a student of music. It's more ambitious in terms of attempting to create an atmosphere of sound, and less ambitious in that I "wrote" the words while standing at the mic. (The next song…

The flute on this piece is done by a very gifted flute player by the name of Melinda Eckels. You will hear Melinda on any of the songs where I use flute. Her abilities have spoiled me so, that I can never use keyboard or my limited flute skills…
