Christmas Eve (redhanded)
September 9, 2013 7:09 AM
Yay pop-punk. Prequel to Chrismas and July, which I posted a few days ago. Part of a weird little vein of story song I've been working with lately.
yeah I heard what they said, but you know how it is. And I promise you, "nobody gets hurt" isn't part of the deal. Sorry, it never is. So when they're telling you, "no funny business," cry, "bullshit!"
and say you'll love me redhanded
Yellow tape: Caution! Police! hangs like tinsel from trees. And it's hung like a wreath round the crime scene. And someone's gonna sing, witnesses wassailing. What we need is some honor amongst thieves. Happy Christmas Eve.
just say you'll love me redhanded
Who can say who shot first? Who can say it matters? Sometimes things get worse and sometimes things get better.
Who can say who shot first. Yeah, of course except her. Take a turn for the worse and swear it's for the better.
Pray it's for the better. On the lamb together. I never felt better. On the lamb together.
Say you'll love me.

I love the drums. Are they real, and if not, how did you do it?

Digging this, like the sort of Built To Spill vibe.

thanks, all. Danf, the drums and most of the mixxing is flstudio8. A crude tool, I know, but one I've used forever.

Man, cortex said it so right. Built to Spill is my favorite band in the world, and I got that vibe too. Rad!

I dunno if "On the lamb" is a pun on "on the lam", but it should be. nice work.

Best. Christmas song. Ever.

This is great. I love your voice. It's the vocal equivalent of bedhead (the morning phenomenon, not the band).
