	1st draft rough mix of a new indie pop/rock song. Catchy, driving and melodic. Since I had to do the percussion myself, there will be a forthcoming version with a 'real' drummer on it on a full set. Click on the song picture and read the lyrics, they're worth checking out.

	Story Behind the Song I wrote four songs in four days one week this summer. This is the 3rd song out of the four. It was made up with the tape rolling, and this is the first draft, unedited. I am developing the arrangement a little more as time goes on and will soon have a better recording of this... Lyrics It's all so perfect do you see how it fits? Leaves us nothing but we're happy for it - with the prize just inside the door and all of your dead dreams all over the floor. Uncharacteristic in the usual way - pen put to paper but there's nothing to say. All bets are off no costs have been paid, it's all down to this: this is the mess we've made and the reality hits. You always hated this part anyway, but the character is you. Doing the right thing has to feel like a sin and all the chances are looking pretty thin. Strip the wall of all but memories - you lose. What brought it down to this? This is the mess we've made and the reality hits. Always another day, but you can't escape 'you'. Worried fingers running through your hair, seemingly worn despite your lack of wear. These days are dragging and seasons wait to change - new clouds are blowing in and I'm praying for rain. This is the mess we've made and the reality hits. You always hated the part anyway but the character is you. This is the mess we've made - this is the mess we've made.
