Another from the Archives: I've had this song in my head the last couple of days so I figured I'd post it. It's another song recorded on analog tape that I transferred from the cassette to GarageBand. As before, errors are intact, as everything was done in a single take. This is just me and my guitar in days of yore, singing my lil heart out.

Lyrics
With a look, a longing glance
The movies say that romance
Can build a sweeter passion
Than the blind fates of chance
And all day I see
A swirling circle of lovers' eyes
But I'm chained by social lies
And mediocrity
And all night I gaze
At shadowed shapes that blend as one
A world of players, a celebration
Of these good, young days
And in my isolation
There's a touch of desolation
And my insulation
Is my own desperation
Taking me, fatally, condemning me just to see
Taking me, fatally, condemning me just to see
Perhaps some day I'll start the chase
Drinking in each stranger's face
Looking for that longing glance
That'll put me in the human race
And I will become
A player far from window panes
A striving actor who attains
Another's sweet devotion
And I will be blind
To strangers' looks and neighbors' staring
Busily discovering caring
I could never find
And gone is isolation
Banished will be desolation
But until this new summation
I'll go on with observation
Taking me fatally, condemning me just to see...
The movies say that romance
Can build a sweeter passion
Than the blind fates of chance
And all day I see
A swirling circle of lovers' eyes
But I'm chained by social lies
And mediocrity
And all night I gaze
At shadowed shapes that blend as one
A world of players, a celebration
Of these good, young days
And in my isolation
There's a touch of desolation
And my insulation
Is my own desperation
Taking me, fatally, condemning me just to see
Taking me, fatally, condemning me just to see
Perhaps some day I'll start the chase
Drinking in each stranger's face
Looking for that longing glance
That'll put me in the human race
And I will become
A player far from window panes
A striving actor who attains
Another's sweet devotion
And I will be blind
To strangers' looks and neighbors' staring
Busily discovering caring
I could never find
And gone is isolation
Banished will be desolation
But until this new summation
I'll go on with observation
Taking me fatally, condemning me just to see...
