Description
As some may remember, this song almost never was. I had been working on it when the hard drive it was on crashed. The only version of it that I had left to work with was an MP3 I had posted here.
I was able to take that salvaged MP3 and send a copy to Alimar for some bass enhancement. Thanks, Al!
After that, it needed some lead guitar treatment. John Luper (a.k.a. TEXASFEEL) was up to the task and performed the outstanding lead guitar work heard here.
Now for percussion. I am fortunate enough to have at my disposal a very capable drummer friend whom I use for most things done by me here. However, for whatever reasons, the drum tracks we layed down for this weren't gelling with the rest of the mix. Drummers are extremely few and far between here at MacJams. There is one though that I figured would be up to the task at hand. I contacted Mike Watkins (a.k.a. kevmikwa). I don't remember how long ago it was now. A looong time ago. It seems due to a new born or some such thing he didn't have time. He contacted me later on and informed me that he was unable to let this song go.
Anyhow, to make a very long story short, I got the final drum tracks from him and mixed them in. This has been a long time in coming but I hope you all agree that the end results were worth the immense wait.
Once again, the song is about the one that got away. Aren't they all?

Lyrics
With All of This
Dave Placko © 1999
The sun is shining. Birds are winging
The air is laughter. In here, I rot
Crying, feeling, hurting reeling
Awaiting rapture. Forget-me-not
With all of this I am left
With all of this I go blind
With all of this I am at your mercy
Forgetting all of this would be to kind
Running hiding. Into darkness sliding
I want departure. Remove this spot
Hearts are tearing. No one is caring
A sad here-after. Rewrite the plot
With all of this I am left
With all of this I go blind
With all of this I am at your mercy
Forgetting all of this would be to kind
Now, I'm finding the clock unwinding
In this I'm captured. Untie the knot
Love eluding; not worth pursuing
I want the answers. I want to stop!
With all of this I am left
With all of this I go blind
With all of this I am at your mercy
Forgetting all of this would be to kind
With all of this I am left
With all of this I go blind
With all of this I am at your mercy
Forgetting all of this would be to kind
