She Doesn’t Even Put Up A Fight – Live in Dave’s closet!

Lyrics

he shoves her nose right down in it
he shoves her face right down in it
can you ever be yourself?
don’t you ever be yourself

he shoves her hair right down in the mud
it’s starting to thin your blood
all those shots that ring out in the night
the lights, those back lit lights
and she screams with all her might
but she doesn’t even put up a fight

and when they tell her to listen
she only starts to sing
“all those people are just soldiers
and they don’t know a damn thing”
but her memory doesn’t serve her tonight
she doesn’t even put up a fight

she doesn’t even put up a fight

This is a sad song that has never been recorded so we thought we throw down a quick demo for all the Take Solace fans out there.  We put up two mics in a small room and panned the resulting tracks a bit.  If you listen to it in headphones it sounds like you’re right in the room with us.

Here’s our set list for the Bluegrass Adventure tomorrow (9/14/2007). Songs in bold are Take Solace Originals.

So, I’ve learned that we can have fires this year whilst camping! Warmth. Cooking. Companionship. All must surround the fire and make generic camping food. (For the uninitiated, that’s pretty much anything that goes on a stick and is pretty much my idea of camping). Bring some wood cause no one likes a dieing fire.

I think we can park by some bar around there too. I’m not sure what the name of the bar is but there will be signs (and it’s probably the only place with a sink for a couple miles…).

Chris, Krystal and I will be getting up there around noon or so to help Kevin set up whatever needs to be set up and get all our strings in order. Dave should be getting there around then too. Laura and Kelly are going to get there about the time that we play (5pm). I’m guessing that the rest of the yahoos will be rolling in from noon to 6/7pm and setting up camp.

Oh. And here’s a pic of us in my basement:
