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.
