follow you around

I wrote this song with my good friend Evan Duby. At first we were going to use it for a side project we're starting up but it kind of felt like a beat radio song to me. Ev made the beat and put some noisy chords over it, i wrote the lyrics and the melody in about an hour. I've been getting sort of long winded and free wheeling with words lately, i like how this one is just really simple and direct. I recorded this song a few different ways, eventually i brought Dan Bills in to play all sorts of synth craziness. Dan also loaned me his harmonium, which has a pickup on it so i ran that through my old Guild Thunder Reverb tube amp to get that sound you hear at the beginning.

beat radio - follow you around (mp3)

here are the lyrics:
I'm still following ghosts I'm still racing around
I can't find my way home I got lost in the sound
But I would be a fool If I had to be a fool I would for you
And I would follow you around And make you see Your love is safe with me

I'm still faking my way through this life that we've made.
I'm still fighting the tide. Its not my fate to fade.
Even though that I would be a fool If I had to be a fool I would for you
And I would follow you around And make you see Your love is safe with me
And we belong together
we belong together
we belong together
