Well, life is short and regrets last long I'll climb every mountain, roll down to the seaĭoes it mean something's right if nothing is wrong? Is it worth all the love that goes for granted So I'll climb every mountain, roll down to the sea It's much less trouble just to push on through

Is that what they mean by a fear of change? When I think of leaving you, it feels so strange Just try to imagine it with the right vocal register. So I present it with my ragged MIDI playing and improper vocal range. The Folk, and, oh yeah, school, she was not able to record a vocal for it right away. This song was actually written with her voice in mind rather than mine, but between cutting her first EP, performing with folk sensation.uh. I was inspired to write this listening to Kaitlyn Haggis' lovely cover of Hunter Hayes' "If You Told Me To" (which you should really check out at you can hear how I borrowed some of the cadence and even, indirectly, the title, from that excellent song). "To" (original song composed and performed by Steve Watchorn) My head knows there isn't any kind of reason My head tells me that it's just an arid season My head tells me that my heart is only teasing Then the pit in my gut, oh, it's gaping so wide When that old green-eyed monster comes wandering by On those days I don't know if to laugh or to cry The only thing I know is how many times I die I hope there's more than one way this ends (I'm stuck on this island, all boats unmoored)īy now, it's too late and I'm sure you're bored I'm not saying that I'd ever lift a finger That there are days I don't know if to laugh or to cry I wouldn't hurt a soul, but, sometimes, heaven knows (Be)cause, when I'm gone, there's nothing making it real I'm gonna help you find the reasons you feel"īut after it all, she's like everyone else I'm not saying that I'd ever blow my brains out Then the pit in my gut, boy, it's opening wide (A)bout the time that I've had nearly all I can takeĪnd I'm convinced how this must be some kind of mistake (Be)cause there are days I don't know if to laugh or to cryĪnd when that old green-eyed monster comes wandering by Sometimes my whole world comes down to oneĭon't even try to tell me it's time for moving on Who has a chance to understand what I say

You don't seem to get (a)bout this inky black cloudĪnd not some feeling that'll just go away (note: this is also my longest pop song to date, though it didn't feel like it was going to be when I was writing it) I could fiddle with this one for weeks, and certainly not every choice works, but I generally really like how it turned out. I also seem to have gone to the Michelle Bachmann school of looking at the webcam, but oh well. perhaps the word "enjoy" I use in the video (as is my habit) is not the best word here. I also want to be clear that this is about understanding feelings, not justifying actions. I hope it is not too difficult for anyone who has been touched by someone in this kind of situation.

I don't have any real experience with the kind of mindset I am singing about here, but a friend of mine from college did, and I drew from what he and I talked about for inspiration (though this is not directly related to anything that happened to either of us). This is something I like about songs like "Pumped Up Kicks" and many of Steely Dan's output, as well: the idea that listening to a catchy melody and infectious beat can make even more unpalatable topics rather captivating. I return once again (as in Leelee) to my fascination with sometimes wrapping unsavory topics in pleasant melodies.
