i… i will wait past the fuss and the hustle that keeps me awake but it comes right down to faith you’ve got it in your eyes there are no surprises in store for you – until you awake

and i can see the good in all people except for in me but i never could be satisfied without someone like you to point these things out to me – until you awake

just another simple melody my hands wrung out of me but if it’s just the same i’d like to give it your name that is – until you awake

so you’ve got this guy who’d spend eternity with you right by your side but you’ve got to put up a fight to hold on night to night he will be waiting – until you awake

this is just another simple melody my hands wrung out of me but if it’s just the same to him i’d like to give it your name that is – until you awake

i had this bright idea to sit here and play until my voice wore thin but i don’t say the words that i really meant and it take you to get the page and the pen all syunced up again and i promise to stop thinking of you – when you awake

but i’ll keep playing this tune – until you awake

and i’d to finish soon – so please won’t you wake.

This is a double a-side… like when the Beatles would release a single and both songs on it would go to #1. Only, not quite like that. “Until You Awake” is a song that i very specifically set out to write to have it be the last song of this, and i only just barely finished arranging it on Thursday in time to record it before going to bed. It’s a plain little waltz, but I believe in it more than anything else i’ve ever written, so please have some faith in what i’m singing. “Necessary Evil” was previewed to the notify list as far back as when i announced that i had intentions of doing this, and i keep on recording it but it’s beyond my current abilities… all i have to go on is this sparkling near-perfect original demo that i rehearsed for hours to record. This is the beginning and the end of 25/24, which turned out as 52/24 if i’m counting correctly.

Enjoy & Goodnight.

Okay, so, we’re closing in on the last two songs, and I have a lot of people to thank for all of this, so bare with me for a minute.

First of all, i want to thank FryKitty for not only starting this whole shebang but for entertaining my various forms of insanity throughout the planning and implementation of the event (and for putting me on the cam portal at the last second … i think seeing my ass live on camera was a good reward for that, don’t you?).


Second, i want to thank all of the members of the Crushed List that encouraged me to participate in such reckless behaviour, especially Dane, Benjy, Liz, Cheese, Desh, Carton & Tony.

Third, thank you to Rabi for telling me (once again) that my music was worth her hard earned cash, even though i still refuse to accept it (or her cash).


Fourth, thank you to Mollie & Michael for inspiration and for strength and for two really good songs that i will play for you someday, i promise.

Fifth, thank you to all of my other sponsors who lit a fire under me to get this done even though i had no indication they even knew i played guitar before now: Tom, Martha, Nancy, Melissa, & Dave.

Not quite last, thanx and lol’s to supportcrime, Danica, Jerwin, Aim, Iza and fx for keeping me awake and enthusiastic from afternoon to midnight to afternoon again.


And, finally, Gina, who makes this all fun again and again and again.
