Description:
An emotional outburst of love for my new home in California. And no, I'm not a Jesus freak, or christian. Not have I have any real animosity toward either.....
Lyrics:
As long as there’s Jesus and California
As long as there’s Jesus and California
I won’t be afraid to tell you I was born there
I was born there
I carry my coffee and my sheets of rumpled stories
I carry my coffee and my sheets of rumpled stories
And I slick back my hair and walk in the sunset to my glory
To my glory
The earth smells like a piano on a ten year-old afternoon
The earth smells like a piano on a ten year-old afternoon
I slick back my hair and I will walk out to the moon
Walk up to the moon
I love the fields of California in the folds of my mother’s shirt
I love the fields of California in the folds of my mother’s shirt
And I love the dirt in my hands for what it’s worth
Jesus and California

Nice track mate,
The guitar solos that come in the second half of the song remind me of Blur for some reason, I'm guessing I've heard a similar scale in one of there songs.
And I like the theme of the song too. [ Reply to This ]

Thanks. I haven't heard much Blur actually, but that's no surprise, in the 80's everyone was telling me my stuff sounded just like R.E.M, and I hadn't been listening them either. Keep me posted on your new releases.

Everything I love in a rock song is here, rage, attitude, speed. A very good one. [ Reply to This ]

Thanks Youra. My tastes are pretty eclectic, but my deepest roots are all ROCK baby.

We've been waiting, Great to hear your tunes - solid playing, writing - great attitude/intelligence. Is this all live? No loops? Sounds great - cool lead. I hear East Coast edge on the West Coast. [ Reply to This ]

Hey, Thanks for stoppin in! Yeah, it's live, no loops except for the drums ((it's Joey Kramer (Aerosmith) from his stock drum CD)) And yeah, I'm still an East coaster at heart...funny thing is I recorded this in NY, and posted it from SF.

First off, I was taken by the artwork... very cool retro-simplified illustrated style.
Next, I was taken by the nice, full sound... very pro.
Third, the lyrics were interesting and a little quirky... that's good.
And last... I liked how you guys get frayed out near the end... with that screeching geetar and the shouted lyrics.
Rock on. [ Reply to This ]
stun &mdash 12/03/06 - 07:05:23 PM
Thanks Mr. Nutz,
First, the artwork is mine, although heavily inspired by something I saw in Communication Arts magazine.
Second, trying to improve my mixing all the time, glad you approve.
Third, "frayed" is my middle name.
And lastly, this one one is all me, no collaborators, although all my stuff has appeared on our USER Cd's....thanks again.

Rock on! &mdash 01/11/07 - 08:25:02 PM
Cool lyrics &mdash 01/16/07 - 07:21:05 AM
Unique and interesting.
But it's the guitars that make this rock! Love the riff and the screamin' lead. Gotta learn how to play like this someday.
Vocal had just the right amount of attitude. Great song! [ Reply to This ]
i can tell youre a pro at this "music" thing. &mdash 08/08/07 - 12:25:15 AM
i like how abrasive this sounds. the guitars sound thick! the flow is perfect, to the point that i didnt even notice how well it flowed at first... seemless. im impressed with your vocals as well. usually when i hear more abrasive tracks, i never find the vocals to be as solid, and this is an exception. the contrast is perfect. im trying to be hard on you here, but its not happening, sorry! great track.
