about

Just plain strange- This whole song started with that "open A" lick in the middle of the song before the bridge or what the hell ever it is. The whole song was written around that lick because I liked it. The lick sat on my DAW for weeks just begging to be used so....one day I decided to lay a funky drum beat down and write a song from drums first. This was the result. Drums first (w/click). then guitar (no double takes on guitar, pretty much all one continuous single take), then bass and lyrics. This was the second and final song written after the hearing loss. it's a goofy song about toys we rarely get out and play with. I had an action video in mind of cars doing burn-outs and planes flying.etc.

lyrics

If Things Could Talk

Ya might be gone tomorrow
Ya might be gone today
but if your ears are hearing this
ya prolly gonna be ok

time keeps moving on now
it aint gonna wait around
ya looking like a child's toy
in the lost and found

Roll me out now
roll me out and dust me off

Wad it up and throw it down now
its time to dust me off

The way that you treat me
you know its awfully mean
stuck between a lawnmower
and an old washing machine

pull me out the closet
take me off the shelf
sittin' in the dark all day
is not good for my health

roll me out now
roll me outand dust me off
no work all play today
