Someone Else’s Car Some of the best times to be had are in cars. Especially growing up in the woods where I did, a movie date was a 30 minute trip each way, and the back and forth, and the traveling I did for girls when I was young, the…
Long Face
I don’t know why, but this is one of my favorite of my slow songs. It has simplicity and complexity in the harmony, and achieves what I wanted to in the lyrics.
