	Story Behind the Song Meghan and I had been wanting to work together on a track again for over a year after recording "Venus", but we could never quite agree on what to write a song about. One day we were listening to the Ella Fitzgerald recording of "Black Coffee" and realized that it would be a great song to remake. The themes are still relevent, and I feel that the electronic music movement of modern times reflects the jazz movement of the fourties in the desire to break free of traditional musical form. Unfortunately there were many complicated issues with recording that delayed the song's completion, but eventually (more than a year after beginning recording) we worked through them to this achive this result. So here it is, our humble homage to "Black Coffee." Lyrics I'm feeling mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor and watch the door And in between I drink Black Coffee Love's a hand me down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday route I'm talking to the shadows 1 o'clock to 4 And Lord, how slow the moments go When all I do is pour Black Coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dreams to dry Now a man is born to go a lovin' A woman's born to weep and fret To stay at home and tend her oven And drown her past regrets In coffee and cigarettes My nerves have gone to pieces My hair is turning gray All I do is drink black coffee Since my man's gone away I'm moody all the morning Mourning all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much hard to fight Black Coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby To maybe come around
