I think we were playing a melodica. Neat instrument. I didn’t realize when I bought it that it was often associated with dub, but it’s fun to play.

This is a very slick version of a song that was in our set for some time, and that had been written more or less a couple of years prior.
No Apology
This song would be rewritten as “Tellina Lie” and performed band-style. Vocals in bridge just had to go.
Taken
The political theme, and lines like “we are patriotic by design,” were surely rooted in the first term of George W. Bush. It was 2002; after all. This was a demo and I played many of the instruments myself, but Mike Squires pitched in with bass and lead guitar.

Didn’t dive too deep; came up jaunty. It wasn’t easy to fit “inevitable” in like that but if Dylan can do it, so could I.
The Victim
A demo of a song I would return to years later.
Hero Ran
Revisiting an earlier demo, this time it sounded a lot more like it should. RC plays great drums, I do my best Elvis Costello impression on the keys.
