This is the first song off our new CD that we recorded in Watertown before the end of summer. It’s fresh off the press. Literally. I just finished it 5 minutes ago just for you. Think of it as an early Halloween present.

This is a song that was inspired by the winter from hell in Wisconsin. And having to go to Chicago during rush hour every freaken week.
This took us six hours to complete and it’s a 3 minute song. Hmmmmm… Not quite sure if thats normal but it sure sounds good, the song that is.
Lyrics
scarf round my neck, grab my hat
close the door with a crack
20 below it hits my face
6 in the morning, what a wastekey to the ignition, park to drive
chattering teeth, still alive
negative, i start my day
negative, i’m on my waygas to the floor, heat too high
there goes life, pass me by
why oh why oh whyremember the feeling i once had
sometime these days just drive me mad
smell of spring, grass just cut
thirteen reds, what the fuck
lemonade, barbecues
freezing rain, what’s the use?
shoot the shit, tequila and lime
take me back before i diegas to the floor, heat too high
there goes life, pass me by
why oh why oh why
Dave on lyrics, mandolin and hand claps, Chris on banjo, Dirk on guitar and shaker.
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 yourselfhe 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 fightand 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 fightshe 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.
