Cristian wrote this song, about our friend whose father passed away tragically in an automotive accident.
I loved it right away. Eventually, when I was recording this album, nothing felt like a good first song. After scrapping another intro, I pondered what to do - right away this song played in my head, so I enlisted Cristian to run it with me in the recording space. we did it along to this drum machine that comes with pro-tools, rather than using a click, and I liked the sound so much that I based the song around it, and finished the bugger less than a few days after.
I can't say enough about how much I love this song. hopefully soon it will wind up on our next full length LP, in yet another form. Either way, I'll be playing it a lot on my acoustic.
Hope y'all like this one too. Rest in Peace.
lyrics
real loss breathes
understand him
put em right back
where you found him
i open all my blinds
knowing that it’s gay
every time i think i’m on coke
i started peaking in valet
living in a fantasy of your hate
in my song
cause women are made so fine
no sight could hold this fire no
i let it put a hole in my heart
no no no no no no no
cause we only just got here
started feeling the fire
knowing i couldn’t put it out
yeah we only just got here
started picking a lock
knowing i couldn’t crack it open
fully appreciated what you were trying to do
when you started screaming
these beautiful things i…
every time i think about it…i…
well you blew me away
you stupid bitch
stop sneaking backstage
stop your screaming
cause we only just got here
started the feeling the fire
knowing that i couldn’t put out
yeah we only just got here
started freaking her out
knowing i couldn’t pick it up
fully appreciate
fully appreciate
fully appreciate
every time i think about it
my song
my sound
