about

This is another track where the music was written by Tom. This is possibly the closest track we have to the lo-fi jazz guitar work of our EP "Las Yucas is Overgrown". In classic Tom style, he just names the tracks from the top of his head. He had a capo on fret 4......capo on 4.

I took this as the perfect opportunity to write a song about writer's block and the heavy feeling of just wanting to give up.

For the tech geeks, while I perform the rest of the album on a Fender Strat, the solo is performed on a Squier Tele. I've always turned my nose up at squire, never again.

Another point of interest, if you listen closely, you can hear Jack drop all of his chord sheets while he's recording the piano track.

lyrics

I'll try to find the words babe
i'll try to jot them down
can't seem to find the paper
so i can read them all out

so i'll just sit and mull the over
before i sing them all aloud
before i sing them all aloud

unhappy with my progress
i throw the words away
too many useless similies
that all seem like wasted space

so i'll just turn around the corner
so i can try and hide away
so i can try and hide away

now just a boring hermit
stuck in a dreaming daze

it's hard to reminisce when
you've not done anything

so i'll just try and write a story
so i seem more than me today
so i seem more than me today
so i seem more than me
