about

This is a song I wrote about my fear of being hit by a drunk driver. There are no facts in these lyrics, other than a hat tip to my friend Randy who used to live in Toledo's Old West End and used to throw some sweet parties.

We really liked this one. The interweaving guitar lines seem really smart. J.D.'s hi-hat beat in the verses adds an of-kilter tension and Eric's bass just drives this whole thing. We recorded this in three distinct sections and then edited them together. Never had any problems putting it all together live, but for overdubs' sake it was easier this way.

We did originally have a ripping guitar solo at the end, but decided it was a little out of place, so we left it out. I haven't been able to find a version with it, but I distinctly remember what that solo sounds like, which is strange because I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning.

lyrics

Hang a right on Collingwood Boulevard and check out all the churches we roll past. It's only two or three blocks to Randy's house but we're going nowhere fast. Out of nowhere came an '89 Audi sedan. We're spinning out of control. Out of gas, out of luck and out a thousand bucks, but we're spinning out of control. I wipe the blood with my shaking hand. Fend off jagged metal and shards of glass. Sara's complexion looks pale by the dashboard light and then she slips into the past. It's all true, it's half lies. I blame you, let's compromise. It's all yours, no, it's half mine. We all suffer in time.

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
