emily and i spent a few hours trying to figure out garageband this evening, and we wrote some lyrics for this but decided not to sing them.

well, i've pretty much got a full time job now - which is good news.. but it does make it harder to write. and do second takes. ha!

I Might Be A Station Agent

I Might Be A Station Agent

how am i gonna get any of this work done with you distracting me in the background?  too much to ignore and you make it oh, such a chore.  you push til my anger is found.  you push til my patience is drowned and i can barely keep my rage down.  a panicky feeling i almost take action but once the word's out i lose traction, back away, and apologize and agonize later about my behavior when really it's yours i despise.

i'm not violent by nature.  i just have certain expectations.  this can't be settled by arbitration.  you are what you are, so am i.  for now the boat is leaving the shore with no one aboard.  there must be an ocean between us

the dreamy end-part in this song has a little Amajor to Aminor chord change, which is always nice.. and it would be a bit cooler with live drums at the end, playing a little jimmy chamberlin style.

Sour Patch Kid

Sour Patch Kid

she's a sour patch kid! she's a sour patch kid!

right now emily is working on trumpets for tomorrow's song.

an ocean obsession

i wrote the bulk of this song this morning, before i went to work.. and when i got back from work, emily had added all the accordion and re-sung everything and put it all together..
