(written in ‘summer 2007’)

(originally composed as an introduction to “as good as it gets”)
(during a time when i was scoring all my songs in sibelius)

(return to tiny apartment / hit the vaporizer / score my music)

(later that fall i recorded the track with guitars + backing vocals)
(drum samples)

(segue into “gingerbread house”)

(re-recorded the track in summer 2014)
(with more pronounced “chord progression” and bassline)
(with MIDI piano outlining the chord changes)
(i didn’t think it sounded as good)

(segue into “little rock”)
