Stars And Black Holes

This song was a watershed for me in that in writing it I wasn't trying to please anyone. I was just dreaming, and dreaming big, so Two Lefts Right of Wrong got a bit of a creative appearance as far as "my band" is concerned, and hey, this song's just about having fun and living, you know what I mean? It's different, and that's what stands out for me. That and the lonely piano melody in the first verse, but you guys won't be able to hear that just yet.

I'm proud of this one. It came from the heart, and if it doesn't make the album, it'll make the EP, so, in a way, it's a win-win situation.

So here she is, finally. I needed this song.

(Otherwise known as The Life And Times Of a Rock-Paper-Scissors Star)

I spent my nights wishing
I could write songs like a
Rockstar, oh, rockstar
And in my dreams I learnt
How to play guitar;
Now the piano's all I've got
But we've all gotta start
Somewhere, somewhere.

My friends and my band,
La da di, La di da,
And those late, long summer days.
Play our shows, take a bow;
California's sold out
But eachother's all we need anyway.

I spent my nights dreaming
I could sing my heart out
Real loud, oh, real loud
And during those nights
I found my voice.
All my friends gather round
My piano now,
Somehow, somehow.

My friends and my band,
La da di, La di da,
And those late, long summer days.
Play our shows, take a bow;
California's sold out
But eachother's all we need anyway.

So I spent my days hoping
We'd go somewhere fast
In the back of our American jet.
With our bass line and our
Good vibe
Here's something I'll never forget.

Because oh,
My friends and my band,
La da di, La di da,
Help pull me through the days
Play our shows to the crowds
And they cheer us all out
So sing with me just one more time:

My friends and my band,
La da di, La di da,
And those late, long summer days.
Play our shows, take a bow;
California's sold out
But eachother's all we need anyway.
