	Song about the point in time which two people realize that they're not made for each other. Particularly if one of the couple realizes that the other will never be happy no matter what happens. Mike Lemmler shows off his awesome keyboard chops on this one. He also put together a great groove. This song was the first of our new tunes when we began the CD project a while back. Timmy Baudier is killer as always on guitar. Ashley Lemmler and Amanda Norman (who has her debut in the studio with us on this song) provide some really cool harmonies.

	Story Behind the Song I wanted to write something pretty funky or something with a serious groove. I started out with a kind of slow funk groove with a wa wa type of guitar part. I then took it to Mike and we started recording. He completely changed the groove, which seemed to energize the song completely. We recorded a lot of tracks, then for a while it was left unfinished. A few months later we came back and re-recorded the harmonies with the girls. Mike, who is also engineering and co-producing the songs, worked with it by himself for a while to put in the keyboard and bass parts--he should work by himself on this stuff all the time...lol. I was floored when I heard how much the song moved when he added the funky bass and great piano part. Check it out! Lyrics No Way To Stay Together Lyrics: Mark Carson Music: Mark Carson, Michael Lemmler So it's true that you're leaving You're leaving nothing for me There's no sympathetic hearing No one to bitch to for free So you shot those bitter arrows Knowing they'd run me right through Never thinking who you're hurting Honey hell is too good for you 'Cause you'll never, no never be happy Doesn't matter who or where you're Slipping away No way to stay No way to stay together I used to count the footsteps That would lead me to your side In the quiet of the morning I would crawl I would climb any height Now the bag is on your shoulder And your feet are trailing away I can feel something is dying Honey, Walk! You can have it your way 'Cause you'll never... 'Cause I'll never
