ANOTHER new song.... posted by Johnny...

This is actually a Modest Mouse song, but I was bored today so I recorded my own version of it. I just used the stuff in my gear profile. There's no mastering at all on it. I recorded 2 guitar tracks, panned them hard left and hard right, then I did a lead vocal track and a harmony vocal track. I kept those dead center. I think it sounds pretty cool.

You can find the song at www.angelfire.com/emo/modestmouse0/mp3s.html - it's called "lives."

The lyrics ('cuz people keep asking me after they hear the song) are:
everyone's afraid of their own lives
if you could be anything you want
i bet you'd be dissapointed am i right
no one really knows the ones they love
if you knew everything they thought
i bet you'd wish that they'd just shut up
well you were the dull sound of sharp math
when you were alive
no one's gonna play the harp when you die
and if i had a nickel for every damn dime
i'd have half the time
do you mind
everyone's afraid of their own lives
if you could be anything you want
i bet you'd be dissapointed am i right
am i right am i right am i right
and it's our lives
it's hard to remember it's hard to remember
we're alive for the first time
it's hard to remember it's hard to remember
we're alive for the last time
it's hard to remember it's hard to remember
to live before you die
it's hard to remember it's hard to remember
that our lives are such a short time
it's hard to remember it's hard to remember
when it takes such a long time
my mom's god is a woman
and my mom she is a witch
i like this
my hell comes from inside comes from inside myself
why fight this
everyone's afraid of their own lives
if you could be anything you want
i bet you'd be dissapointed am i right
