This song isn't about pop or hooks or catchiness...it's about a build from a humid day to a scalding hot acid thunderstorm. No, really. This song pulls on the eerie atmospheres more typical of Tori Amos or Radiohead than Elton John or Ben Folds and illustrates really well the growing songwriting relationship of vocalist Terry Roberts and pianist Mark Murray |

This is Urban Legend's centerpiece. Here's a little sneak peek at the album. Just a rough mix with demo vocals and no real mixing. It features Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor, done the way Rage Against the Machine might do it. The lyrics are a mix of biograpical references to Rach, paralleling it with the band's feeling that they, too, will be labeled "mechanistic," "gushing," or "artificial." This is UL at its best. |

This song features only piano and vocals. It's the most quiet and tender song on the album. They lyrics are a true step forward for the band and the vocal and piano bring to mind a more serious-minded Ben Folds. |
