about

This was the last official treysuno song from the time before we broke up in 2007. There's a live version here on Bandcamp from our record release show where I am *wasted*. This one's better. Always wanted to give this song the treatment it deserved. One of my favorites.

This one's about distilling a philosophy down to bumper sticker wisdom and losing any sense of nuance (and being proud of it). This happens so often that even the message eventually plays second fiddle to the aesthetic and marketability of the sticker. I have literally had someone tell me that I'd be responsible for a candidate losing an election if the shade of blue on their stickers was even slightly off. So I wrote this, because that's gross.

I know I could write "J.D. plays like a beast on this one" for all of these, but holy hell, he plays like a beast on this one. Also, don't sleep on E's bass here, especially in those pre-choruses. It bobs and weaves and captivates.

lyrics

The enemies and ironies are tightropes for the acrobats who wow the crowd and walk their scribbled lines in the parade. All this simple wisdom won't help you imagine that the message has taken second place to the money to be made. One simple turn of phrase, one mouth becomes a gun. See how much the candidate pays; he's not the only one. If you're making your argument, let it show. If you're feeling so confident, let it go. A pattern change enables, a talking point restated, a typeset sense of urgency in red, blue and white. The elegance of prose is underestimated. If the book don't hook 'em, well then, by God, that fortune cookie might. One stomach-turning phrase, one fist becomes a gun. See what the committee pays; they're not the only ones.

about

treysuno Bowling Green, Ohio

It's exceptionally rare that a rock band affects the lives of people. Most of the time they're just background noise, easily dismissed and happily forgotten. One of the true joys of being in treysuno is knowing that we were the soundtrack to some of the best years of the lives of a couple dozen people. Who needs a stadium tour when you can make a deeply personal connection like that? ... more
