    Story Behind the Song
    After moving back to Michigan I was mixing some stuff on a beautiful September afternoon. I began to recall my kid brother's band, "Murder of Crows". they had set this town on its ear back in the day. Steven was this larger than life local celebrity with Stevie Stevens hair, classic Euro-good looks and a mythical capacity for wine and women.
    I honestly felt melancholy for him. He was sweating out the last years of his PhD, turning 40 and I remembered my last days under 40 and the memories that visited me.
    I had this Coldplay, Travellin' Willburies (?) progression in my head so I laid down the piano part and before I knew it I had the music all mapped out.
    I stopped and wrote the lyrics, then recorded them hot from my pen. Don't look for literal correspondence; I cut and paste alot of the lyrics. Later I added some lazy guitar and some cheap key strings and by 7 pm I had the song .

    Lyrics
    Over You
    (first verse, chorus & ending vamp)
    A maple tree
    a crimson branch held high
    the light the leaves
    a cellophane blue sky

    Orange on grey
    the avenue
    cobblestone and tar
    lines of leaves
    the way the night wind blew
    orange on grey
    Over You

    within a teapot
    I made the rain stop
    i broke a heart or two

    you spun me honey
    and foreign money
    you made my old shoes new

    i gave you incense
    we made your friends tense
    with all that talk of death
    (etc. for coomplete lyrics contact artist)
