Old Man River

Absurd, was meant for an interlude or a video piece in the show we were putting together.

A much calmer take on the vocals, without the autotune effect and stereo double-tracking. I kept this one around because I liked the lighter feel of it. The guitar part is different as well, I felt like even though I was playing the right part, it kind of sounded wrong, which is why I went…

Needed a track to develop the story on our concept album a bit. Doesn’t sound like I quite finished the lyrics, but it did the job. It doesn’t seem as though I wanted to let the track end.

Thus begins an unlikely “concept album”… about a river tsunami. And what such album would be complete without a song about a girl?

The idea for this sprang right out of the rhythm. Fit like a glove.

Just a dramatic break. Maybe you would run to the bathroom or something.
