So I was sitting around depressed this weekend trying to psych myself up. Â All I need is to feel a little better, right, and then I just get up off my ass and do... Â whatever it is that will better my station in life, right? Go get some cool clothes and some shades, right? Maybe clean up a little bit, eh?
Well that never really let up over the week, and session wizard King Solomon was feeling even worse than I since his cat escaped and hasn't returned yet. So that reflects a bit in what we have here. It's a long song with just piano and vocals (Rob on piano) that laments the necessity of blind eyed optimism in the face of the modern world.
Maybe this is relevant? I dunno.
Enjoy!

This song grows on you... Well, it is growing on me at least. I realized where the drums needed to come in just now... On the last chorus, of course! It also needs a cello, a real (sounding) one. We should revisit this one in the future. Also, leaving the microphone picking up my abrupt keyboard chord at the end was a good plan.
