    Story Behind the Song
    Eclipsing is the fourth song on Balladesque, which was was recorded over the course of a year, from September 98 to September 99. It's Alun's first solo CD. (A solo cassette, Rubber Sole, was released in 96.) As with every indie artist, the budget was almost non-existent, so most of it was recorded at home. At the time, Alun was working as an in-house engineer at Chemical Sound in Toronto, so he was able to do the drums and keyboards on down-time there.

    The rest, however, was recorded at his own Moldy Floor Studios. Alun played or faked his way through most of the instruments, but since he can't drum or play keyboards very well, he called in some friends who could.

    Very special thanks to Justin Peroff, Michelle Josef, Mike Munro, James Gray, John Francom, Don Kerr, Mark Kesper and lastly, Oh Susanna, who all performed the parts Alun couldn't play.

    By the way, the CD cover is a blatant rip-off of The Replacements1984 album Let it Be.

    Lyrics
    I follow behind you
    up to your room again
    never really sure if Ive ever wanted this
    tell me to enjoy myself
    finding pleasure with you
    the light stays on
    then you change your mind

    eclipsing a candle in the sunlight
    it would never be as bright
    reflected in your moonlight eyes
    eclipsing

    peaks and valleys
    flattened by the numbness
    my heart feels so strung out
    were always returning to
    comfortless comfort
    engulfed by you
    open your eyes wide

    Ill never know
    how much you really meant
    or you just said
    because you couldnt bear
    to be alone
    summer is ending
    creeping to a close
    returning to the world
    that we both know
