“mission impossible”*themes*

(written in july 2010)

(after a stoned shower)

(the original track featured on “the creeps” album)
(before i added a bassline)

(latest version recorded in summer 2014)
(in mounts motel)
(didn’t complete the version to my satisfaction)

(morning before leaving for jersey shore)

(for fourth of july weekend)

(self-referential?)

(i really like the word)

(‘ooh say ga waga’ chant)

(oooh say monogamous)

(reminded me of a brian wilson chant)

(title came from the sexual position)
(NOT the financial position)

(then i drove down the shore for a tuesday night dinner with mama)

(and recorded a cappella parts on my iphone as i was driving)

(i started recording it later in the week)

(felt sloppy at first)

(i wanted to take my time)

(not quite sure what I was going to use the song for)

(mostly to make myself feel better about myself)

(there’s a 9-minute acoustic take that i sing really well)

(still not quite sure where the song was going)

(i may use snippets from that)

(as i was writing/recording ‘and that is all’ at the same time)

(a sister song)

(yin and yang???)

(‘don’t talk put your head on my shoulder’)

(track 4 from ‘pet sounds’)

(an underrated beach boys gem)

(someone raved about it in the CD liner notes)

(which i bought as a freshman in college)

(one post-christmas shopping spree)

(reminds me of my own song ‘pebbles’)

(also a bit of ‘never say no’)

(with sweet falsetto parts)

(i want to lose myself on this song)

(i’ll start recording it in earnest on a sunday evening)

(this is my genuine love song)

(that luke requested of me)

(cue adam sandler wisecrack during lull in ‘art of the straddle’)
