Written in the summer of 2006. Kelli Noftle taught me how to finger-pick in this 4-finger pattern, so after practicing the pattern for almost three days straight, I'd pretty much written my first finger-picking song. As for the lyrics, they pretty much speak for themselves.
Nita Mickley plays violin. Kelli sings with me, and that's her at the end whispering one of her poems. Recorded all in one session at Record Plant in Hollywood in the fall of 2006. Nate Hurtweck engineered the session.
lyrics
I’m suffering through one of your off-days. I know, I know, you’ve got so many calls to make. I know, I know, you’ve got so many pills to take. Well I never wrote a poem entitled “Chiaroscuro” but I know a thing or two about the dark and the light. Your eyes get red and misty and that’s when you say, “Kiss me.” And I think how much you’ll miss me when I up and die.
I’m rocket-riding through one of your good days, climbing higher in the sky with every plan we make. And I know just how dangerous it can be; I do it anyway. And I never wrote a poem entitled “Chiaroscuro” but I know a thing or two about the dark and the light. Your movements all get shifty, and that’s when you hit me. But I’ll keep these head wounds with me, if I can just stay alive.
