Lyrics:

We sent out the S.O.S. call.
It was a quarter past four, in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
Four months at sea. Four months of calm seas {only}
To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point.

They call 'em rogues. They travel fast and alone.
One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong.
What they call love is a risk,
'Cause you will always get hit
Out of nowhere by some wave
And end up on your own.

The hole in the hull defied the crew's attempts,
To bail us out.
And flooded the engines and radio,
And half buried bow.

Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dashed to bits on the reef.

The vessel groans
The ocean pressures its frame.
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain.
And I wish for one more day to give my
Love and repay debts.
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.

They say that the captain stays fast with the ship,
Through still and storm,
But this ain't the Dakota,
And the water's so cold,
{We} won't have to fight for long.

(This is the end.)
This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear,
(This is the calm.)
Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath,
(We are the risen.)
I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea,
(After the storm.)
I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean,
(Rest in the sea.)
I know that this is what you want, a funeral keeps both of us apart.
(Washed up on the beach.)
You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs.

Searched the us144 and 990/991 package to hear what it sounded like, and it was nice to hear it demoed with my favorite Brand New song. So many props to you dude. Amazing. This song gives me chills everytime. Loved the effects on the vocals. Not too over processed .

[yohanzo]

@S2frosty Thanks dude. But, I'd advise against the US144 -- I had so many issues with that thing.

[incubus90]

[yohanzo]

@incubus90 that's the most bizarre comment I've ever heard dude xD how's the tascam working out for you?

[deathattention]

[Ghost24816]

Nice! Guitar strumming was a bit of a different pattern...but nice!

[slpc30]

[WallyVaio]

i hear a lot of people have trouble with the drivers for the tascam, especially with vista, what system are you using and do you have any problems?

[monoseb]

[chrismusiclife]
