about

This tune is kind of an assemblage of old riffs, using the toggle switches on my Tokai Strat, and messing around with Amp sims. The basslines are things I've been playing for years, and one of the guitar riffs actually appears in the song "Common Catharsis," and a video i released in 2015 of jamming in the garage. The lyrical content is an answer to the hypothetical question asked by the previous song, "Winter Beaches."

lyrics

I'm trying to find my way, and nothing can stop me today. I'm trying to get back home. While I'm roaming, my thoughts are my own. Oh Melissa, I told you, you can't always get what you want. And Melissa, I know you, and I know that you can't stop. But please, just let me breathe for a day.
