more new drafting! This one sucks more than the last one, though…

i've got a splinter it's a piece of you
and you've got some wishes that will never come true
i won't be your band-aid i won't cover up your wounds
and all of those promises that we made we made them too soon
i've got a splinter it's a piece of you
and all of your wishes, they will never come true
and you're like an anchor 'cause you're holding me down
and i want a tidal wave to sweep me off the ground
i've got a splinter it's a piece of you
and you've got some wishes that will never come true
    you keep telling me that you're so much deeper
   and i'm starting to wonder if you're all i need
i've got a splinter it's a piece of you
and you're stuck under my skin i don't know what to do
and i've got a splinter it's a piece of you
and you've got some wishes but i know they'll never come true

super draft version. super. yeah!

i slept on top of the sheets because i didn't trust what would happen
i didn't mind your looming lips but i was worried about your hands
but i knew you'd put me under soon enough - i knew you'd play rough
your intention was as clear as the act that you put up to get me into you
          and who-oa you've got a hold on me
          who-oa you've got a hold on me
          who-oa you've got a hold on me
2am and i am walking to your place wondering if these feelings will last
but either way you've sunk your hooks deep into me
and don't you know they're holding fast
          and who-oa you've got a hold on me
          who-oa you've got a hold on me
          who-oa you've got a hold on me
let's refine this baby let's define this;
make a glossary for what we feel
but a 1,000 words just paints the single picture
of my face close enough to steal your breath
and all i ever wanted was something real - 
someone to listen to all these words of mine
and your ears would be my favourite part of this
except for what is left unheard
          and who-oa you've got a hold on me
          who-oa you've got a hold on me
          who-oa you've got a hold on me
i slept on top of the sheets because i was afraid of what might happen
but now i see i was in trouble when i set foot in your bed

Trio: Season 1, #15

by

I wrote two songs this weekend, like flipsides of a coin: one bitter and detached and the other one guarded and head over heels. Pretty much the A-side/B-side to my life right now. So far they seem to be titled “Splinter” and “Hold on Me,” but lyrics are still in flux. God, where the hell did this come from? Two months of dry spell and suddenly i have something to say. Go figure.

Trio: Season 1, #14

by

Been waiting for a Trio, have you? Well, get prepared for a monster-sized new-guitar special: 8 songs & 30 minutes long! Witness me tear through “Bridge,” “A Long Time Since,” “Inadequacy Song,” “Punk,” “Almost,” “World In My Hand,” “Relief,” and the always sparkling “Under My Skin.” I make no promises as to the quality of this recording: i’ve been playing this guitar for under 24 hours, i’m sick and i can’t hear the sound of my own voice, i’m dealing with wacky amplifier distortion, i haven’t done a Trio in a month, and i’m sure i clipped the microphone at least three times in every song. But, anyway, if you’re the sort of person that cares about this sorta thing, it’ll be up for your listening pleasure come midnite. Enjoy.


While you’re waiting for me to upload the new Trio (almost 5megs, and still as low quality as ever), feel free to check out some other new audio: namely, the three ad-libbed love songs i wrote for the folks over at the SurvivorBlog2 PeanutGallery in a blatant attempt to win their affections earlier this week. “ErnDawg,”(Tony,) I Want More,” and “Revirginized Honey.” The first is on a bass played an octave high to simulate a guitar, the second is on an electric guitar missing a significant amount of strings, and the third is played just as bass-melody. Funky. Which is your favourite?
