about

Some have mentioned over the course of the project that they were surprised how "produced"-sounding the songs have been, week after week. I've been wanting to make something that sounded more like somebody's concept of a "demo".

The truth is, I have always made very involved "demos" of songs, always pushing the available recording technology I had to its limits. I don't really think much of the idea of "demoing" music anymore - and I certainly don't think that something needs to be "polished" to be good. I'm actually really amazed at things that can seem so rough on the surface but feel so, so RIGHT regardless. I seem to be on something of a less-is-more kick right now.

lyrics

There's a lot of good things
About our situation
But for now I'm sad
Now I'm just sad

I'm pretty proud of myself
For noticing the high points
But right now I'm sad
Now I'm just sad

'Cause for all the lessons learned
And the ways that I'll improve
It still boils down to this
It still boils down to:
I can't have you
I can't love you
I can't have you

I'm sure there will be a day
When I can look back and laugh
But right now I'm sad
