			Back To Main Back To Songs
Thom: I wrote this song after thinking about one of my friends and his problems. When I write songs I don't really think about a style I'm going for, I just screw around with chords until I find something that's pleasing to the ears. Then I screw it all up by adding words to them. People have told me this song sounds like something Nirvana, the Doors and/or the Vines would have done. This song is 3/4 jamming though so.... Colson: This was Thom's first song he brought to practice. It written was aound the time I wrote "Four Thousandth Time's... ", Higgiy came up with an outstanding drum part that extenuates the songs "chiil" mood. He and I also came up with a few back-up lyrics that we sing in the chorus. If my memory serves me correctly, it was originaly the standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus/solo/chorus arangement, but at practices the solos kept turning into long jams and we just through out all attempts at arrangements. It has a garage rock feel, and Thom's vocals ooze traces of Craig Nichols, but at the same time it is our blusey (blusey mainly beacause of the heavy use of seventh chords), hippie, jam band song. BTW, this song doesn't make us in any way a stupid, hippie, jam band (no offense).
