See Me Thru

It means “I be money” and that’s the goal. No idea what it meant when I wrote it, just thought it fit its place in the song. Wasn’t entirely convinced as to what I was singing there anyway, just let inspiration run its course. Sound of hammering notes from electric piano was a pleasant surprise.

The inner dialogue of our conflicted protagonist. Another piece intended as part of a “concept album” which I had actually made a booklet and story to go along with, now lost. Recorded on the same day as Word Is Out.

My attempt at writing the simplest song possible. As is typical with constraints, I ended up with something more interesting than I had expected. If not for the hideous drum fill, this might have been a contender.

Driving guitar sound, and yeah you can tell I used to smoke. Part of a series of songs I wrote as a sort of romantic “concept album,” but, you know how those things go.

Falsetto is almost unrecognizable in this track. A chipper Ray singing. Lyrics were taking me where they wanted, or to whomever they wanted, and in this case we ended up in a blind alleyway with a girl called Cindy.

What does it mean. Nobody knows. This one never amounted to much.
