about
Still maybe the meanest song I’d ever written, I wrote this in June/July of 2007 about the woman who would two years later become my first wife. Here’s to first impressions. The first demo was done at the Fun-N-Only Room with Giulio Carmassi on Wurlitzer and bass and Brian Moskin on drums. I remember Kelli Noftle being around during the sessions, but actually refusing to add any backing vocals because she thought the song was so mean.
The album version brought on the talents of the other Dead Messengers including Frogs and Justin Siegel, and while I played most all the guitars, Steve McDonald added a feedback track, and Rob Leifer added weird sounds as well. This remains the only song on any of my albums that does not have an acoustic guitar track.
lyrics
She’s a doomed thing, darling, a song in minor key, foreign and cold, floating off the balcony. And she doesn’t have your voice, she doesn’t have your sound, but she’s the only one around. Her skin feels different, and she doesn’t have your taste, but when I move my mouth, she shakes like an earthquake. And she doesn’t get me high, but at least I’m off the ground, and she’s the only one around.
Every day another piece - the polaroids and poetry: I phase them out with new routines. No, I won’t learn to love her but I can learn to love deceit.
I’m not out for revenge; I just like healing quickly. And I’m grateful for all the pretty things that stepped on me. And these are the thoughts that no one wants to speak out loud. But it’s not like you’re around.
