Lyrics

The night is warm again
The drinks are cold
A plane is drowning out my words

Surroundings new to me
I feel at home
A breeze is washing down the house

Something strange in her eyes
I search this page for a reason why
She has brought it all upon herself this time

The dog snuck out again
It’s ten o’clock
I left an hour on the stairs

A mirrored circumstance
Is fading fast
My sillohuet is moving out

Something strange in her eyes
I search her face for a reason why
She has brought it all upon herself this time

And this is just the earth
And we are just the life
And living is just a way to pass the time

Something strange in her eyes
I search this page for a reason why
She has brought it all upon herself this time

Everything is not enough
Everywhere is far too close
And everyone I know is one less than I need

Warmed Me Up
I live in Colorado, USA. It's cold and supposed to snow all
weekend. Your song warmed me up. I really like it and
your other stuff as well. Did you use a pickup on the
acoustic? Or did you use the electric fro the guitar riffs?
Maybe it’s a matter of taste, but the guitar riffs sounded a
little too “direct.” I haven’t done much in GB with miking
the acoustic, but it might sound a little better. I don’t
know. Anyway, great song.

	Warmed Me Up Thanks for the comment Jimmy. Yeh, that is my acoustic you're talking about and I used its built-in pickup. I've tried mic'ing it but I can't get a good, strong signal and have to turn it up so loud it hisses badly. I do really like the sound of an acoustic through a mic. I'll keep playing with it. Thanks again. Check out my latest song called Fine

Good One!
Strong words, nice arrangement, fine mix.

I'm not sure about the drum stops and starts at the
beginning. They almost sounded like a mistake. And the
off beat snare hit at the beginning also seemed a bit
misplaced. But once the song got going and everything
kicked in fully, it was a great ride. Excellent vocals and
harmonies! Still a very enjoyable tune!

(Don't worry, I might be the only one with the drum
comment.)

Cheers!

exquisuite
on every level. great song. great performance,
arrangement and the song just gets better as it goes
along. The "and this is just the earth..." part made my
heart explode. The BGVs throughout but especially there
were wonderful. Before listening I read through the lyrics
and the last line -"And everyone I know is one less than I
need" made my heart explode when I read it. In the song
though it had a diminished affect. still a great song!

	It's in the details I really like the Billy Joel type details in your lyrics, specific yet universal. Excellent pacing and balanc in your stanzes. Really great lyric writing. Check out my latest song called The Androgyne

	dude, love it! Nolan, top notch. Strong voals, brill arrangement, love the bee-bee-boop-boop-boop bits in the background of the verses. What is that? It's inspired we touches like this, and you vocal harmony build-ups that I love about your tunes. Could the chorus have a fatter more bassy sound? Stronger drums? What do I know! Keep em coming. Kev

Good on ya!
Sorry, had to say it!

This piece is a real work of musical art. So many things
are done perfectly. I actually love the percussion breaks
in the beginning. And the interplay of the guitar lines is
real nice.

Where is the bass from--loops? Midi? It's very tasty. I
agree with Kev, though, that the bass could really support
more in the chorus. It seems to drop out there.

Must be summer in Australia--here in Canada its cooold.
-37 (thats celsius AND Fahrenheit) my first morning back
to school after the Christmas break. I dunno if this song
was able to warm me up totally, but it did inspire me to
take a break from marking and think of writing some
music.

I've said it before and I'll say it again--keep 'em coming.
Downloaded! 9's and 10's.

Good on ya!
Thank you very much, Pooey - I'm glad you like.

I'd recorded most of these songs on my old four-track before getting the
Mac. I used the bass line I played on the old recording, only this time I
replicated it using the pencil tool because my bass is making a bad humming
noise when I plug it in these days.

I'm going to review the chorus bass line on yours and Big Kev's
recommendations. See if I can't chunk it up a bit.

Thanks again.

	Terrific As always a really well written song and brilliant vocal performance. There's something about your voice that really grabs me, not sure what it is but it's really distinctive and seems to suit your song style so well - whatever it is it's a good thing so be grateful you have it! Everything you do just seems so effortless. Great job Check out my latest song called Leave Me Gently

	real nice if i were to quibble it would be to suggest some more compression on the vocal to keep the levels level, so to speak :-) but a cool toon nevertheless Check out my latest song called Kaleidoscope (Single)

Like a heartfelt embrace
Don't know how I missed this tune back in November when you first posted. You sound really good, you have the sort of perfect light tenor voice to carry soft pop-rock songs, so pleasing, lean, clear, compelling. I like the little guitar licks, layered like tasty thoughts, and your layered Ah vocals are also a highlight. There are times when the loop-based drum track seems too repetitive; and I'm not sure about the bass cutting out on the line "Surroundings new to me." But this is a radio ready solid tune with a very heartfelt vibe.
