Fill Up The Parking Lots

so there's this guy... a visionary of sorts, a religious type possibly, but he's mostly just motivated. he thinks things can be better, and he's tired of the life he sees around him.

so he tries to gather up all the young and like-minded people around him, by preaching to them about the possibilities of life and how things can be great.

later on, people call it a suicide cult of sorts.. but he had good intentions, i suppose.

that's what Fill Up The Parking Lots is about.. i kinda like it. it's a weird story-lyric, but it's got a hopeful air about it.. and i like the lyrics. i had a hard time with it, but i think it came off alright.

umm.. i played some acoustic guitars to write it.. and then the drums. then i sang a few times, trying to figure out the lyrics and such. then the epic guitar bits.. more major key soloing, which i am starting to really get into. we tried putting violin on it, but i got real mad at emily and deleted it in a fit.. then woke up the next morning sorta regretful, and put the accordion on there.. called it done, and went to work.

now i'm home, posting and trying to write another song. maybe something without a cult reference.
