For Lauren

This is a new song, and it'll be on the new Whomping Willows album, which will be released officially at LeakyCon.

Also, it's a song I wrote for Lauren Fairweather. : )

Here are the lyrics (I messed up a couple lines in the video):

Every single day
Im searching for a way
To drown out the beating of my heart
The sound of it shakes me
The pitter-patter wakes me
And leaves me reaching out in the dark
And baby whats more
The slamming of the door
Is a rhythm beating holes in my brain
And the road lays out a song
And pushes me along
Till Im stuck in Ybor City again

But I know theres soft light calling me home
And I know no matter how far I roam
Youre gonna be there
Youre gonna be there

Open up my eyes
To a North Dakota sky
I can see my breath swirl in the wind
My teeth chatter tales
Of whiskey wine and ales
And the feeling that its starting again
Kicking up the dirt
Off every little hurt
So I might be good to write another song
Play it for the birds
And choke on every word
And Im lucky if they care to sing along

But I know theres soft light calling me home
And I know no matter how far I roam
Youre gonna be there
Youre gonna be there

So I break out that old Mudbloods EP
And I listen to the words of Adam Dubberly
And I think I understand what hes saying to me
So I pick up the telephone
And I call you and tell you everything I feel
And I swear on my life that my love is real
And I know its been a bitch for you to deal
But Im telling you a heart can change
Im telling you a heart can change
I promise you a heart can change
Oh I swear my heart has changed.

Why mention Adam by name in a song written for Lauren?

I wouldn't have the guts to do that unless I was writing parody.

[thewhompingwillows]

Because I name-dropped his band, and his last name rhymes with EP. :)
