about

This song was written in the fall of 2003 and was recorded almost entirely at one of our first rehearsals with the organ added later. The random bass hit at the end was left in to keep the spontaneity of the recording. It was written about a falling out I had with friends (all good now!) as well as my frustration with my hometown. We quit playing it for the most part after the terrible flood they had. I guess time changes feelings! The organ part was inspired by the organ part on "Metal Detektor" by Spoon on their "Series of Sneaks" record.

lyrics

I've got no love
for my hometown
500 miles isn't far enough to run
You're so carefree
you can't judge me
delusions make me feel so nice
can you still breathe?

I don't need your lessons to learn
throw in the towel before I get burned
This is an ode to cover bands
bad punk rock and a town I can't stand

Standards
I can't relate
I don't believe in that anymore
I guess I'll sit it out
Feeling sick
Feeling well
The same thing that kept me high
Brought me down
