Liner Notes

did this one on the tascam! first one so far with no overdubs

also my ceiling is leaking like crazy and you can hear it in this recording and it's really annoying. i'm sorry.

Lyrics

I saw you once Bathed in animating light As you said you were God's perfect mediocrity

With swimming eyes, I danced around you As you plunged towards life And I knew just what you wanted me to see

And you died with a smile I saw your corpse just beaming I saw you smile

Did you forget All those days we tumbled down And we couldn't guess what anyone else thought?

Did you forget The day you finally skipped town And you told us that you hoped that you'd be caught?

And you died with a smile I saw your corpse just beaming I saw you smile

I dream of you Of wires poking through your eyes And a stream of words that pours across your face

Were you surprised When they couldn't hear your cries? Or were you just happy to be entertained?

You died With a smile I saw your corpse just beaming I saw you smile

You gotta sample the water drip and use at as intentional percussion. It's a good sound if you can get some rhythm to it

"God's perfect mediocrity" is real. If your leak is stemming from a roof problem HMU, I can help you out!

The water motif is undeniable -- from your background percussion to your cunning lyric. I also love the way that your voice flows across the surface of the compelling guitar chords. Promising start with the TASCAM :-).

Shit dude sorry about your ceiling. This sounds great though! The idea of a beaming corpse is so interesting, also the bit about wires poking through the eyes!
