Liner Notes

First song of the yearr it's a fun little silly. I recorded this in an empty room with a guitar and shaker on a laptop with an old lav mic, as I am just moving into a new house. Oof ouch. Goodnite!

Lyrics

That whiskey I drank, it made me sober
I drowned in the lake, without any water
On a cold day, I'm sweating but my back isn’t hurtin
Well I guess it’s a fair trade

Contradict me, and satisfy me
Read beyond the lines it’ll show you the way

At night I’m awake, gettin up early
Car windows are shut, but the fresh air surrounds me
Oh my brain is heavy but my head feels empty
It seems like somethin new every day

Contradict me, don’t gratify me,
Read beyond the lines, I’ll tell you the way

What a gret opening line, that whiskey I drank it made me sober...you had me right there! And then the rest of it is great too, love that contradict me section, that's catchy!

Damn man, you should try to do more bare bones songs in that empty room. It’s got a secret something. This is a great one. Love all the contradictions, and love how you went up on the CON-tradict.

Perfect song that shows every quality of songwriting. Life is like an empty room and then you fill it with a little guitar and a little vocal and a little shaker and a little foot on the floor and there you go. Perfect.
