Incident After

From the same EP of 2007 as My Fire (O Captain! My Captain!). This one is a little too laid back for how I play it now, it's meant to be a bit more punchy and at a faster clip.

Rest up, I’ll wake you when I get the rest up
Get the strength up, needed when the rest is falling down

Always around, I am your hallowing ground
Place your foot down, followed by the slip of friction found
(of the friction found)

Maybe I’ll I find my way
Like the sun did that day
Or maybe it’s all just smoke in mirrors
(smoke in mirrors)

Rest up, I’ll wake you when I get the rest up
Get the strength up, needed when the rest is falling down

Maybe I’ll I find my way
Like the sun did that day
Or maybe it’s all just smoke in mirrors

I dig this. Especially the harmonies. Nice tight performances, too. I can picture it more uptempo, but I actually like the lazy feel here. And the vibes. I'll never say no to some vibes. Rockin.

I dunno, I think I'd like the more uptempo version more -- this makes me a little fidgety as it is. I'd like to hear more percussion -- claves? Handclaps? And maybe a cool melodic independent bass line? This is a good song, I just feel like I want more.

Sweet vibes and I like that sound at the end, too.
