10 to 2 now
itβs her favorite thing to do
when thereβs 3 to see her through
though theyβre leaving at the end
she knows theyβll be back again
nothingβs taboo
when thereβs nothing else to do
when mother maryβs watching you
(lord, we are counting on you)
and you wonβt escape the end
but at least youβve found a friend
one more chance (donβt go away)
same old dance (donβt go away)
one more year (donβt go away)
stay right here my dear
comfort over fear…
comfort over fear…
22 now
itβs the way she always knew
well can you feel me coming through?
but for now she only can pretendβ¦
until he come down again
he come down again…
he come down again…

(written + recorded in late 2006)
(as part of 4-song ‘christmas 2006’ EP)
(i was 22 years old)
(originally written as “paul’s song”)
(and his joy at hanging out with bergblum larnald and i)
(later paralleled this to a mother raising 3 children and watching them move out)
(although i would be living with my mother until march 2007)
(crafted the intro guitar arpeggio on a whim)
(Aminor –> Amajor)
(influenced by a paul mccartney demo from the ‘wild life’ sessions)
(“all in love is fair”)
(1971)
(i downloaded the song via limewire sometime in 2006)

(originally released on 2009 album “dinosaurs”)
submitted to TAXI
(summer 2007)
(they gave a mostly positive review of the song)
(but didn’t forward it)
(they said the vocals were emotionally resonant)
(but there were some ‘pitchy’ moments)
i tried re-recording the vocals in fall 2007
(i sent a re-worked demo to bergblum)
(he responded with ‘production notes’)
(which pissed me off)
(he ultimately said that it was ‘bad singing’)
(and started dissing me for my lack of live performances)
(and claimed that he was a better musician / artist than me)
(which led to our ‘breakup’ until summer 2008)
(funnily enough bergblum was one of the biggest supporters of the original track)
(and complimented the ‘mature’ sounding vocals)
(and said the backing vocals sounded like brian wilson’s “smile” band from the 90s)
(bandcamp page:)
