about

This is one of the tracks on the acoustic ep where Zack and I tracked the rhythm and lead guitar at the same time, back to back. It felt very crosby, stills, and nash. I think zack did one overdub for a third guitar part but most of that turned into the intro cello bit. Chris did an execellent job on the cello arrangement. He came up to my house, where we tracked the ep, and stayed the night. We spent most of the night talking about Team Shithead plans and what we had in mind for the acoustic ep. I think it took him prolly an hour to come up with the rough draft of the three part arrangement on cello. The man's got a great ear for arrangements. He also did a great job mixing the record. I would suggest listening to it with headphones. He used lots of cool panning techniques for the mix.

It seemed pretty fitting that this was the first track people got to hear off the record as it was the first one I got to hear a demo of. I think the Charles's vocals in the second verse really make the song, and the string sections Chris added help add depth to the post choruses.

lyrics

uppers and downers
qualudes, methaphetamine
these are a few of my friends favorite things
got clean friends, happy staring into the sun
but some vacation in hell, happily tanning along lakes of fire
always a story to tell like the pen guides itself
across their lives, acing depravity
but we all know
yeah we all know
what the problem is
haven’t had a job in years
school's long gone, beyond your youth
who picks up the bill for every scrap that goes in your mouth
seems to me that mythic god is helping you out
oh what a luxury to see your train arrive on time everyday
always somewhere to bail, leaving me down and out
across our history I can see where this should be,
history
