sad song.
There was no more chemistry, exciting chords or harmonies,
infectious riffs or melodies to sing.
Twas' not a single speck of magic there
in that tangled mess of moving air,
so we shut off all our amps and we called it quits.
And this old house grew quiet as the cars they pulled away,
in this uninspired ending of this uninspiring day.
And it got so awful quiet now except for passing cars
or the hum of drunken discords creeping from the local bars.
Not another song, the music died,
though our ears and fingers tried,
our tired hearts could not provide a tune.
And was it true? Where we really through,
but I just began to sing what I wanted to.
D minor was the final chord and Kevin played it hard,
and it resonated down the hall and out into the yard.
And I remember thinking that we lost something that day
as I rolled up all my chords and put my guitar away.
Not another song, the music died,
though our ears and fingers tried,
our tired hearts could not provide a tune.

Yea, it is kind of a sad song. But the imagery is very good in the lyrics.

i listened to surrogate for the first time the other day, isn't that guy from number one gun?
11:05 AM
yes and no...
Surrogate does have a couple guys from Number One Gun but the original lead singer never really left the band. He stuck with Number One Gun and is releasing an album called the North Pole Project completely by himself...writing/recording all the drums/bass/vocals etc.
Anyway Number One Gun's old & new stuff sounds pretty much the same...it's all pretty awesome

makes a great but sorrowful allegory of faded love.
"alas, poor world, what treasure hast thou lost!
what face remains alive that's worth the viewing?
whose tongue is music now? what canst thou boast
of things long since, or any thing ensuing?
the flowers are sweet, their colors fresh and trim,
but true sweet beauty liv'd and died with him."
