This song developed as it went, and gathered meaning in its abstract nature like a snowball rolling downhill. At an epic length of almost six minutes it was our longest track, it kept growing organically until some kind of bizarre feedback-drenched guitar solo came out the other end.
Abandoned demo, perhaps rightfully so.
Not only did this track provide us with a name for our act, but the laid-back groove gave us our second video, which is sufficiently abstract that I think it holds up pretty well.
During the year I was making a lot of this music, I also spent a lot of time at this bar. They also hosted my video show every month. So I wrote them a theme song. Like Cheers. Just like Cheers.
This song would be rewritten as “Tellina Lie” and performed band-style. Vocals in bridge just had to go.
