Description:
I sat down at the computer as if it was a confessional…I started hitting these ‘mellon-collie’ jabs on the guitar and then singing whatever was heavy on my mind…I was wrestling with the thought that maybe all the 'evil' I see was just a projection from within. This is what came out.

This is two tracks - one of me playing the guitar and singing and then another voice added for an ounce of schizophrenia…

Lyrics:
Oh, waiting here for you, again…
How many more times do I sing this?
How long do I get back turn it up from the back of my hand?

Waiting here for you
I’m waiting for you

Silence is a bitch…I’m waiting for you
Silence from you…my lovely hypocrite.

You’re a youth with a mission!

This world is not big enough for the both of you and me.
You need a low-carb diet - some sacrosanctity.

And I want to get back to the way things used to be…
And I want to get back to where we used to live…
I don’t care for you and me.
I don’t care for you and me.

The wisdom of men will surely fail.
The wisdom of men will surely fail.

The slight echo effect on the guitar is a good choice and works very well here. Haunting vocals (yeah, what a great voice!). Passion track, out of the heart and stomach... which I like so very much. - Walter

loved the immediacy and rawness &mdash 10/21/06 - 02:38:33 PM
very good singing voice some nice high pitches. the slap back on the
guitar really adds punch. i don't think you needed the second vocal
actually. just the main vocal and guitar had me.

Thanks Vic, the second vocal was added as an alter ego…I was hoping to convey in this song a sense of inner dissonance…kind of a muttering around in a mental prison…the kind of feuding and hopelessness that takes place when one becomes locked in circles of unforgiveness and anger…I wanted to capture the essence of the moment when one realizes ‘it was me all along’…

Ryan this is it! &mdash 10/21/06 - 06:21:50 PM
This is a dark place to sing from, but it's honest and it's brilliant. I don't
say that lightly. This is my new favorite song. Guts out, raw and
beautiful.

what a great voice mokus! the way the two voices go in and out of sync at
the end adds to the insanity you're singing about. great song!

great &mdash 10/28/06 - 09:41:44 AM
From the guts. Love it. Simple but with a massive punch. Your voice reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on it - slighly pink floyd maybe, and a bit oasis too. Great work.
