Cary Grant 05:34
lyrics

I did what I could, down in Hollywood The glitter and the noise all had me misunderstood When the best of my days have come and gone The time keeps on moving on Trapped in oceans of wax and glass Got myself inside a race to nowhere fast Oh, old lace and arsenic Was only a part of it Just hoping that my time would last Cuz I was- Waiting around for the meaning But it's so hard now to find without you The sun will rise and I am leaving Cause the morning is hard to get through Maybe it's not just you Can't pay my rent with booze I wanna live my life like I'm Cary Grant But try as I might I can't, cause I got a job (Shit, I'm tired) Don't want my job anymore, no (How'd you make so many movies, Cary?) The rising tide, flowing fast and wide Will come and wash away all my drunken lies With my mind ripped open, I'm no longer hoping But knowing that the sun will still rise, oh Wouldn't put up a fight, if I thought it was right To trick myself into another miserable night But no longer sick with the bug or shitting on my rug I finally stepped into the light And now I'm-- Waiting around for the meaning Finally my heartbeat is strong and true The sun will rise and I am seeing That these mornings are hard to get through Maybe it's not just you Baby the rent is due I wanna live my life like I'm Cary Grant But try as I might I can't Cause I got a job Don't want my job anymore, no (Now darlings, darlings, I've got some terrible news for you Teddy's killed a man, darlings! Yes, yes! Well then what's that fellow doing over there in the window seat? Oh that's Mr. Spinoza darling, we put him in there Y — you put him in there? Well yes! Because the Reverend Harper was coming! That wouldn't have been very nice. Not for tea! But my dear, sweet, Aunt Abbey, how did he get in there? Well he drank some wine, with poison in it) Maybe it's not just you Baby the rent is due I wanna live my life like I'm Cary Grant But try as I might, You know that I can't.

Afterglow 13:14

I went out walking in the summer rain 'Til the sun came out, got me up again Just another night walking alone It's the same sweet song, don't know where to go Searching for the real world Don't know what I'll find Just keep taking steps down the road Hope I'm not wasting time I met a man with a peculiar grin, he said Listen here boy, now, if you wanna win Take my hand now and follow me There's a place out there you need to see (You need to see) I wasn't sure what to do (Know what to do) Was it someone that I knew? (Do you know who?) Before I could make up my mind He took me out from behind Oh, I felt the cold wind blowing snow And said "Please sir, tell me where we're gonna go" He said, "Don't worry son, it's just a little Afterglow" Open up my eyes, to my surprise I saw a big bright light, and baby blue skies, and I'm Unafraid, 'cause I know it's just the Afterglow The Afterglow

about

After our pledge to create the next release from the ground up, together, that's exactly what we've done. This "eleventh" volume pays homage to the previous twelve months that we have been practicing, writing, and honing ourselves for a live experience, in our variety of basement studios.

"BASEMENT TAPE VOL. 11" was formed on a bed of fresh jams. On April 3, 2022, the band convened in Basement Studio B just to see what would happen when trying to record video and audio at the same time, and how many of us could go crazy trying to figure it out. That day produced BOTH of the instrumental tracks for these songs. Vocals were added to the mix with the band on April 24, and finished with Jake and Noah on May 14. We are incredibly proud to present this DIY experience to you here, with our Music Videos on YouTube, or on any streaming service of your choosing.
