Day 7 – More Time

DAY 7 - MORE TIME

INTRODUCTION

If you’ve read the intro you can just skip it…

I’m so glad you’re here and haven’t been turned off by Magic School Bus quotes or dad jokes.

This EP is a dream come true for me.

As a kid, I was very sheltered and rarely left the house. I don’t say this for pity, but I didn’t really have friends. So I had to make my own fun with creativity, drawing, art, video and music.

From the website, video blurbs and marketing, to lyric videos, branding, graphic design and even a lot of the recording and mixing, I’ve learned a lot of this by myself on the fly.

I’m a business student, so none of this was really learned from school. There are a lot of things I didn’t learn from school – including some incredibly important, universal life lessons.

As I’ve mentioned, I’m a bit of a nerd. I like learning – So I’ve elaborated on these stories in the “School of Nerd Rock” – You’ll get useful life lessons by email each day.

WELCOME TO THE
SCHOOL OF NERD ROCK!

SONG

"COUNTING CHEAP CHANGE TO BUY MORE TIME"

The chorus focuses on the road trips we’d been on. I wrote it on a road trip without her.

STORY

This song is definitely about as sappy as they come. I started this song on the same piano I wrote Coffee & Alcohol on in Nashville.

I made a list of the things we did together – then I tried to make it rhyme and turn it into a song. The chorus focuses on the road trips we’d been on. I wrote it on a road trip without her.

I recorded this song with her pretty much entirely out of my life. So I guess to me this song means being able to process things and move forward from them – And that we’re capable of doing so.

Over a year later, we ended up back together and she tracked violin to finish off the song.

I learned a lot through that experience and it more or less forced me to make this EP.

We don’t always like what happens to us, but we get to choose how it paints us and how we move forward from there. That’s the moral of my album. Perspective is whatever we want it to be.

Perspectives can dress us to the nines. Or not.

LYRICS

Morning breathe draws pictures of our dreams,
Swimming through our insecurities,
Four leaf clover shooting star it seems,
Would’ve, could’ve stealing all my sleep,

Throwing up I held back your hair that night,
You try to give me a smile,
My therapy after a long night,
Whisper as you melt at my side,

Taking pictures while you blush and smile,
Wild glances blot out a fading sky,
Rooftop kisses sneaking through closed eyes,
You whisper “you’re forever mine.”

Drive all night to the sound of you sleeping, breathing,
Clear my mind, my nicotine,
Kitchen, ballroom, dance I’m falling for the same eyes I see every night,
Counting cheap change to buy more time,

Tip-toe kisses pull on my tie,
I picture you in white,
Warm colors splashing through your eyes,
Hopelessly loyal and kind,

Cheap dates and change in the vacation jar,
Picking on the strings of that soft beating heart.
Mind of emotion on the subway car,
Feeding animals and catching cold in Lincoln Park,

Drive all night to the sound of you sleeping, breathing,
Clear my mind, my nicotine,
Kitchen, ballroom, dance I’m falling for the same eyes I see every night,
Counting cheap change to buy more time,

Broken chorus lines unfinished verses,
Duets with one part choking on it’s purpose,
Final hallelujah, empty, worthless,
Late night raise a toast to the last words,

Drive all night to the sound of you sleeping, breathing,
Clear my mind, my nicotine,
Kitchen, ballroom, dance I’m falling for the same eyes I see every night,
Counting cheap change to buy more time,
