Description
This is a song from late 2007, recorded entirely in Garageband and posted briefly here on my first account back in November 2007. As I'm just in the process of moving to Logic Express 8 I thought I'd put this up as my final Garageband song. I trawled through my old songs, looking for a "Farewell to Garageband" candidate.
I chose this not because it's my best song, it clearly isn't - it's a throwaway piece of pop-punk. I chose it because, for me, it represents everything Garageband can be to an untrained, total amateur like me. Whilst it has its technical and musical flaws its a decent sounding little song and, to the man in the street (and in particular my non musical friends) it "sounds like a real song". Garageband took the computer recording industry by the throat and made it accessible to many more of us. For me, this recording was the watershed.

funny you think this is throwaway because i think these are some of your most complete and compelling lyrics. nothing worse than a true believer, whether it be music, politics, religion, etc...this is kind of a manifesto of the open mind. I dig it.
And its got a good stompin chorus...perfect ironically, for flannel shirts and shit kickers...
