about

An ex girlfriend (the same one this entire album is inspired by, actually) called me randomly to catch up. When we got off the phone I felt inspired to document the emotions the phone call had triggered. Being in the middle of a move, all I had was my fostex recorder and the cheap mic that didn't make it into a studio box. That's why the entire instrumental is synthetic.

lyrics

"you called me just now
i want to know what your dream was about
and if i was made a man
you looked at me and said
i’m not ready for bed
and if we could kill ourselves?
there were 40 other people in the room
no no no i thought about it
and you were the only one

did you put up your hair?
i know it’s been three years
but i felt inclined to ask
why it was you left
before i could clean up the mess
that i made of 2006
was it the 47 fights we had a day?
and the thoughts that kept me thinking
i wasn’t the only one
was it us ruining a special little girl
i heard she’s doing so much better
without pollution in her world
i have to go, i think he just came home"
