Description
Zallaz sent me a bubbly little bass line with drums and guitar that he'd passed on to TEXASFEEL who'd added some really cool guitar parts. The song was called Sunny Beaches and I always like to at least try to keep the concept of the music, if not the title, so I asked Kevin what he'd been thinking when he wrote it. He told me that it came about on a dreary day in one of the most land-locked parts of England and that he was just thinking of being somewhere sunny.
Right before I wrote the lyrics I had a conversation with a single friend about how she gets bored sometimes and the song went in that direction. It's not that hard for a chick in Seattle to write about wanting to be someplace sunny, either.
Once the vocals were on the song, TF took the track back and added some very cool new guitars, as well as some backwards guitar.
Zallaz and Tex were dream collaborators and you can check out more of their music here:

Thanks John and Kevin; this was truly a bunch of fun. Thanks, also to Mr. Alley-oop for the song artwork!

Lyrics
Sunny Beaches
Stuck inside this grey-streaked window
called around but no one's by the phone
ate a bag of stale marshmallows
made a dog with my hand and some shadows.
Look and long outside my window,
where I am's not where I want to go
No, no, no
Closed my eyes and conjured sunshine,
you and me with sand between our toes
Skipping down the sunny beaches,
both of us eating peaches.
The juice runs down our arms,
ooh la la
Look and long outside my window,
where I am's not where I want to go.
No, no.
Rain streaks down and breaks the reverie,
there's no you and not much left of me.
My tiny world like a still life
hope grows duller than a butter knife.
Look and long
Look and long
Look and long
Stuck inside this grey-streaked window
called around but no one's by the phone
ate a bag of stale marshmallows
made a dog with my hand and some shadows.
Look and long outside my window,
where I am's not where I want to go
No, no, no
Closed my eyes and conjured sunshine,
you and me with sand between our toes
Skipping down the sunny beaches,
both of us eating peaches.
The juice runs down our arms,
ooh la la
Look and long outside my window,
where I am's not where I want to go.
No, no.
Rain streaks down and breaks the reverie,
there's no you and not much left of me.
My tiny world like a still life
hope grows duller than a butter knife.
Look and long
Look and long
Look and long

texasfeel took my initial idea and ran with it, totally transforming it,
thank-you TF! then Ledeb adds her sublime lyrics/vox, now although
Ledeb dont mention it she toiled for a good while on this track, way
beyond the call of duty in fact, appreciated a lot.
