    Story Behind the Song
    It's one of those wet wintry days. Get warm, dive deeper into bed, skip out on work, wonder why you don't have a steady relationship and why your life seems to always just go to hell almost predictably. Realizing age is just a corner away, and closer.

    Recording notes:
    "I held her, yeah" was recorded during practice before we got our bass player--acc guitar, lead, and drums. It was piped through three mikes into a board and then down to one channel mono on a DAT. When we got the bass player, we mixed the mono track onto a 4-track reel to reel, eq'ing it somewhat, and then amazingly, Jim the bassplayer did a one take overdub onto the reel to reel while simultaneously mixing the mess back onto DAT. Back to mono, ghostmixed and serious. This should get someone's attention ($$$ to make a better, radioright recording.)

    Lyrics
    Soft Collection

    Inside my soft collection
    the pallid moon arrives
    my studied misdirection
    correct its course again.

    If you will whisper-listen
    if you will whisper-listen
    if you will whisper-listen
    the smallest song
    might bring you in.

    Searching for stability
    in all this human frailty,
    looking for relation
    through all this mixed-up poetry.

    Trying to get the courage up
    to say that it's not enough,
    it's not enough, I say
    I'm not all right today.

    It crumbles down to poetry
    to lift the guitar at gloaming,
    to coax the blue notes again

    you ask me why I crawled back
    in my bed today

    soft collection
    falling faster

    turned under
    turned under
    turned under.
