	Story Behind the Song This song, at its core, is hopelessly corny and self-indulgent. Not surprisingly, songwriters tend to love it. The rhythim section was recorded backwards: first the guitars, then the bass, then the piano, then the drums. The drummer on this is my long-time friend Edward Sanchez. We were recording him and his brother. I happened to have the 'all i hear' tracks lying around, and so while his brother was on a smoke break, I asked him to take a crack at this song. He had never heard it before, and there were no lyrics to guide him. I mock conducted the song with my hands as though before an entire orchestra, and Ed, who has always possessed remarkable instincts, did it in one take. (You can hear at the end that he's not really sure when its supposed to end.) Its a great take, and the song really has tremendous energy and immediacy. Its still kind of corny, though. Lyrics touch me with your hand maybe i could feel show me all those lights you want me to see lead me by your steady heart as mine so rarely beats all i hear is a band in my ears in my head all i hear roll down all your windows i like the breeze let your hair fall down all over me even faster even farther i look and i believe but all i hear is a band in my ears in my head all i hear all i hear is all myself and no one else makes a sound all i hear is all myself and no one else has a place here i'm the only one i hear silence when the breeze hits my ears i hear silence whenever you lie near i hear everything you never say when you understand
