My Way Home 04:08
If I've changed like seasons on the west coast, You've changed like seasons in Chicago. And if it's worth the trouble we can be friends, Or so long, we're helpless to this. While the roofs brace themselves for snowfall, Clocks change themselves around. And people replace each other, With memories less thought about. I sit back and think about my way home. And if someday I move out to the west coast, You'll stay here forever in Chicago. Tell me friend are you better than you've ever been? Do the evergreens look better from the top? I plodded along beside you till, I lost your footprints on the hill. The mountainside was treacherous. There must be something wrong with us. You've changed like seasons in Chicago.

Snow falls hard, I can barely see the road. And lights shine loud, I can hear them from here. I'm driving aimlessly and, I've got priorities, And they're all out of of order. I'm driving aimlessly and, I can't do anything. All I want is you. Hold onto the wheel, As I begin to feel, Cold seeping in, As if I had the windows open. You're at the top of my tree.

We could stand out here for hours, Wishing we were some place colder. We were wishing we were some place, Where crystals fall from the sky, All year round. Icy leaves never got a chance to fall deep. Frost bites at our heels. White keys desaturate me.

about

Kannan and Brian returned for the second year in a row for volume seven. The writing experience was similar to last year; I wrote a song, Kannan wrote a song, we wrote the third song together at the last minute, and Brian filled in the drums for us.

We had more resources this year, but still not enough time. Sergio drove up to Chicago for a quick photo shoot at the park across the street from our house.

I made a "making of" music video for "Some Place Colder" with various clips of us recording. You can view it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoTszBwlktc

Thanks for listening!
