An ode to all the hipsters you've ever wished you didn't know. I really thought we should have said, "Jeffery Buckley" just for a little condescending snub, but oh well.

Lyrics:
Effortless

I know I’ll never be sufficiently inside
You wish there’s no one else in whom I should confide
But I don’t remember where I was when Jeff Buckley died

Not my fault, not my choice to be who I am
Not everyone has your gift to completely understand
What to wear and what to drink in what club and with what band

You make it seem
So effortless
But where I came from
I couldn’t care less
I’m so tired
Of pretending
These casusal battles
Neverending

In your eyes criticize
There’s nothing more I can do

I suppose I can study up but I don’t have that much time
I suppose I can buy a lot, spend every single dime
If I pose as what I’m not it’s an unforgivable crime

Lyrics: Chris Winters

ZOI, thanks for stopping in and the kind words. We try to make this look easy, but there are a lot of late nights. The coordination of everyone is the hardest part, just trying to get together, but it is a lot of fun.

Buckley! &mdash 06/27/07 - 12:59:34 PM
Haha, the "Buckley? ??" cracked me up. Jeff seems to be the Kurt Cobain for a very select age group (26-30) around these Seattle parts—which is a bit of a stretch cause I just never felt he was all that much to listen to. He's alright, but no immortal hero. A Buckley diss or lack of knowing in these parts is pretty much equivalent to being uncool.

Tricky little beast &mdash 06/26/07 - 04:08:27 PM
Firstly, your production goes from strength to strength - this sounds great Rich. This is a really great track - full of odd little twists and turns - the chorus just comes out of nowhere and kicks the song up a few gears. Everyones playing is really tight, and Chris's vox (and harmonies) soar.

I'm a fan, and I'm running out of superlatives ....I love the Buckley line - brave and really out there.

Another great track

Steve

Over-Production &mdash 06/27/07 - 01:06:04 PM
The production is getting better, but I worry I may be getting a little over-produced with some new stuff I haven't put up yet. I really didn't like this song at first but it has grown on me. I like how the chorus kicks in, Chris is singing really well lately. I have a few songs I haven't posted where he really takes it to the next level.
