	An older song that turned out nicely. Sort of an optimistic "everything's gonna be all right" number. Catchy chorus, with nice instrumentation in other sections. Music geeks will recognize the "Alberti 'treble'", and everyone loves a player piano solo. High school buddies will recognize this one from countless coffee houses and talent shows. Ok, 2. Those are pages turning at the end. Symbolism. Dig it.

	Story Behind the Song Lyrics I know I never tried hard yet I spoil every chance I get But I think I know (it's always gotta be about you doesn't it?) I think- I think a little peace is all I need Get a little distance and I'll be free And maybe oneday things'll seem Close to the way I want them to be But don't mind me, I'm just complaining, I don't think it'll last too long And just because I say it's raining That don't mean that there aint no sun Don't mind me, I'll be fine I know that there'll be other days And maybe one, when we look back, And see that it's all a big charade-- They'll all say that I'm an expert, I've read it all and trust me I can talk But try to put into practice Letters from a page They think I've got it all together. They think I'm worth my salt, I think a little peace is all I need Get a little distance and I'll be free And maybe oneday things'll seem Close to the way I want them to be But don't mind me, I'm just complaining, I don't think it'll last too long And just because I say it's raining That don't mean that there aint no sun Don't mind me, I'll be fine I know that there'll be other days And maybe one, when we look back, And see that it's all a big charade-- But eager as I am, I am contented with the knowledge That I spoil every chance I get, I never tried hard yet, I get uneasy when it's quiet, Leave the room if it's too loud. I like to be familiar, but I get bored and I go out, You know I'd love to make you happy, But I'd settle for content 'Cause happy's overrated, And content is underspent, So don't mind me. No don't mind me Don't mind me. No don't mind me. No don't mind me, I'm just complaining, I don't think it'll last too long And just because I say it's raining That don't mean that there aint no sun Don't mind me, I'll be fine I know that there'll be other days And maybe one, when we look back, And see that it's all a big charade--
