Song Information:

This song is started so simply, but it seemed to take forever to complete. Basically Kelli had a pretty good basic demo of this song, and Jim proceeded to over-complicate it. Jim plays ukelele, plucked viola, acoustic and electric guitars, piano, keyboard bass, hand drum and played the sort of jazzy piano chord changes in the end while inspired by some cubano loops (but the piano is played and isn't loops). And then it proved to be surprisingly hard for Kelli to get the right sort of feel in the vocal. It's kept pretty dry in the mix since this is such an intimate song, like a one-to-one conversation, and the phone call which happened at the end of one of the vocal takes got moved to the beginning. I hope you like it, since we really don't know what we're doing anymore! haha!

Song Lyrics:

You Come Along

I'll take you in the summer
when the days are long
I'll take you in the winter
when the leaves are gone
I'll take you in the springtime
I'll take you in the fall
I'll take anything
now that you come along.

Some days cloudy
some days shine
some days messed up
some days fine
some days are weak
some days are strong
it doesn't matter
now that you come along


I'll meet you half way
or around the bend
you only to say when

I'll go through fire
I'll go through flame
through ice and snow
through pouring rain
I'll go right, I'll go wrong
I'll go anywhere
now that you come along.
