Song Information:
This is a song about many things, but primarily the message is one
of love and loss, a theme not uncommon in my music. The imagery I tried to
imply is personal to me, but might resonate with many. Who knows?
This is my first collaboration effort. I wrote this long ago, and could always
hear Miss Slumbering's voice with it. I was delighted when she agreed to
perform, but was completely taken back upon hearing the final mix.
I couldn't have imagined it any better than this.
I'm so fortunate to have such a wonderful spirit and amazing talent to work with.
Thank you, over and over, Slumbering.
Also, a thank you is directed to Steve Jay for telling me there are no excuses.
Your call-out pushed me toward the mic. Thanks!
I hope you enjoy the song. Peace.
Song Lyrics:
A Band-Mate of Years
Save me from saving somebody else.
Save me cuz I won't save myself.
Hold me like you held someone else.
Save me cuz you can't save yourself.
Break me like a drunk with a belt.
Enslave me in your exquisite cell.
Everything is so different now that you're not here.
I traded my salt for a band-mate of years.
Now, I can't see you through the snow.
I guess this is what they call letting go.
Replace me take me right off the shelf.
Erase me and claim it all for yourself.
Want me like you want someone else.
Shove me in your bottomless well.
Everything is so different now that you're not here.
I traded my salt for a band-mate of years.
Now, I can't see you through the snow.
I guess this is what they call letting go.
< wicked solo >
Everything is so different now that you're not here.
I traded my salt for a band-mate of years.
Now, I can't see you through the snow.
I guess this is what they call letting go.
Deface me and then blame someone else.
Deceive me cuz you know I just can't tell.
Love me like you're loving yourself.
Want me because I don't want myself.
Everything is so different now that you're not here.
I traded my salt for a band-mate of years.
Now, I am wandering through the snow.
I'm having a hard time letting go.
