Liner Notes

I keep hoping I'll grow out of writing love songs, but today is not that day. At least this is only a love song in the way that a cup of coffee is 'breakfast'.

Written and recorded between 11:22 AM and 1:02 PM Feb 9th, 2026.

Just #guitar and #vocals on this one.

Lyrics

I hope there’s rain wherever you end up To keep you wondering if it’s ever enough To spend your worries on the simpler stuff And when I call, I hope you don’t pick up

I hope there’s days where no one says your name And you’re left wondering if you’re still sane I hope you find someone to take the blame And when that well runs dry, I hope you you feel the same

Because I’ve known you long enough to see That I could never make you want to be With me

I hope there’s closure on the other end I hope your enemies become your friends I hope the tide subsides and pulls you in And if you can’t fly, I hope that you can swim.

Because I’ve known you long enough to see That I could never make you want to be With me

Love the push and pull of the lyrics; The guitar work is super interesting and melodic and love the singing! It's an earworm - the guitar riff and melody really stick. Great job!

Your stripped-down performances really showcase your outstanding voice. The combo with the guitar is so powerful. Nice double-edge love-hate theme cutting through the lyrics.

I almost never comment on lyrics, but "And when I call, I hope you don’t pick up" hits hard.

Ah man, thank you. I don't think its possible to NOT be self-conscious about lyrics, so this means a lot

Totally awesome! How do you do that in such a short timeframe!?

I can't seem to "grow out of" writing love songs, either, so there must be something to them as we grow. ;)

This is a very satisfying song. I love the heights the melody hits right away, and the guitar accompaniment. The write is strong and the performance equally so. "And when I call, I hope you don’t pick up" is a favorite line.

Another great one. The intro is lovely but it really comes alive when the vocal starts. So good! Also, I love the ending, a perfect bit of denouement.

Pure awesomeness! That riff has really got me going, also your lyrics are speaking to me, I have also felt this kind of overwhelming sense of I know "I could never make you want to be with me." Fantastic playing and singing. Really, remarkable!

Great vocal performance, sick riff. Reminds me of Theo Katzman -- just a solid, straightforward, good song. LOVE the hook!

I love Theo Katzman, thank you!!

Love the word usage it may be love in some ways a commonly used concept but the words you use are not - Wow that some powerful vocal to bring it home

[pic]

oh that guitar riff is sooo good! and the melody overlays the varying guitar parts so well. 'that I could never make you want to be with me' - such a satisfying and emotional moment. bravo!!

Jaysus, you are dynamic! This rocks like like a bluesier, gutsier blind melon. I've got more to say, but a meeting is about to start, so I'll be back.
