Dear mark, I heard this song on pandora. I fell in love with it. I'm pretty surprised to see you only have 4,000 views on it. To be fair, It's you and your friends playing wiffle ball in a parking lot. If you had made a video that attempted to express the emotions of the song, I think it would have done better. Regardless, It's a great song and I hope to hear more from you.

Your friend,

LJ

Great song Mark, I've always liked your songwriting. The video...is that the old Caldor's parking lot?!! I think its a Home Depot now?

[schwaber]

The combination of the song and the video clip somewhat scares the shit out of me. Don't know why. Although the scary feeling doesn't bother me at all. It's quite calming actually.

An unexplainable phenomenon I'd say.

what parts does joel stroetzel play?

[schwaber]

Joel plays 4 seperate guitar parts. All electric. All the electric chords and melodies you hear throughout the song and then 2 tracks of noise at the end. Thanks for listening.

This is the kind of song that you feel at your core. So haunting. I love it.

[GirlSproket]

No prob. I've listened to a few of your songs on Amazon's preview thingy, and I have to say that I'm impressed (and will be buying your latest album). Kudos, and much continued success!

[schwaber]

Awesome! I really appreciate it! Maybe I'll see you on tour next spring. I might be going out with Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr). I'll have a new record out at the end of the year as well! Thanks again!

Mark, It's Joel Bousquetfrom the platterpus days. I really love this song and I had no Idea Joel played on it. Is their anyway to get any of the Old HOME/KURT stuff? It's Good to see louie.

I'll see you at the record store..Dig some of this stuff up dog.

[schwaber]

Hey Joel. I don't know if you're still in Western Mass or not, but there is a home. reunion at Finn MacCool's in Westfield on August 31st. Great to hear from you!

[guitarman967]

marked on the Calender..

Josh gonna play drums?

[tobydammit]

Great song. The video and the music work well together despite the 13 year gap - completely capturing a very specific time and mood. I think I've been in that parking lot.

[schwaber]

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. It's pretty funny. The ever elusive line of funny and creepy. And how often they intertwine.

[dmleadguitar]

what the FUCK is this shit

[schwaber]

I'm not sure what exactly you mean. I'm sure you're thinking "why does it say Killswitch Engage on here." Well, the video itself was just some shit we shot 13 years ago. The song was on my most recent record that came out in 2006. Joel from Killswitch played guitar (several of them, actually) on this song. I pressume that might answer your question.

[dmleadguitar]

late reply but anyway lol... yes, yes it does.

[pekastare]

sounds like elliot smith, but with a tint of emo
