    Mildly hypnotic music with one of my better melodies, sung by someone who can carry the melody quite well. Written when this country was feeling pretty good about itself, but I wasn't feeling good about much. The song holds more meaning for me as time goes on - the mark of a good song to me.

    Credits: Music by Paul Jarrett, Lyrics and melody by Tim Brennan, sung by JoAnna Gyetko

    Story Behind the Song
    Written as Paul created the bass line and Don locked into a drum part. I threw on a simple as pie guitar line and the melody took about 2 seconds to write. The lyrics came the next day. We always liked the song this way, but when we recorded it, we gave it to JoAnna for the lead vocals and added some effects like the disjointed piano part to add to the feel. The recording was supposed to be 2 mintues long, but we just let Don play long on the drums to fade it. After a while of recording, we decidd to let the whole mess play on and on.

    Lyrics
    Waking Up To The Sound of Lies
    Radio is just sad
    If I close my eyes and go back to sleep
    Will it change in a little while?

    I know that we're always getting better
    The weatherman tells me
    We're always getting better

    Take me down to the riverside
    Wash these sins from my bones
    If you hold me down long enough
    Maybe then I'll see the light

    I know that we're always getting better
    The President tells me
    We're always getting better.
