	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)
