about

The first song written for the album, actually performed at the CD Release Show for the previous record.

lyrics

I heard the greatest joke,
laughed so hard I nearly choked.
Just thinking about the punchline,
Man, it gets me every time.

I heard this great new band
from Chicago or from Switzerland.
They've got melody and soul
and they're gonna save rock 'n roll.

All these stupid things
Seem to lose their wings
When there's no one to talk to
Like you.

I wrote this brand new song.
Someday maybe you'll sing along.
The bridge? Well, it ain't quite done.
But I feel it riding shotgun.

All these stupid things
Seem to lose their wings
When there's no one to talk to

Like when I'm covered in ice
Reasons, excuses, useless pride.
You play salt and sun,
melt every last one
'til I'm standing
in puddles of stupid little things.

They're just stupid little things
when there's someone.

All these stupid things
Seem to lose their wings
when there's no one to talk to
like you.

There's Always Glimmer
by Gia Margaret

This is thoughtful and melancholy, but not morose -- there is hope in its sheer beauty. Her sensitivity as an arranger and producer is as impressive as her songwriting and singing; the whole album has a lovely sense of texture and space. Joe Madden
