I was almost down to no bands a little bit after the first EP so I decided to turn Wayfarer into a full project. For this EP I played all the instruments as it was going to be used to assemble a band. The first batch of shows we had basically a rotating line-up with the exception of Steve and I. It was the first time I had done something like that and looking back it was a lot of fun. The first 5-6 shows the songs were played a little bit differently every time as there were usually two new members hearing it and playing it their own way.
As sloppy as this EP is, I'm still pretty proud of most of it.
This song was taken from the first EP and made full band. I remember being so excited recording this it took me a while to realize how sloppy it was. It was also the song I tried to learn how to do harmonies. Maybe next time, right?
lyrics
I remember when
You said that if you whisper to the breeze somebody would hear you shouting out your hopes and dreams
But isn’t it funny that the stream has never heard you cry
As it picks you up, sweeps you away and swallows up your life
Now you can fly your kite and you can plant your seeds
But the rain keeps on falling while the water’s rising in the stream
And your kite came crashing down
And your seeds will never blossom because these flowers have all drowned
They’re drowning.
And you’ve planted your roots beneath the grass and fallen leaves
You stand tall but when the wind blows you start swaying in the breeze
Until that stream that once got you so wet
Will uproot you and you’ll never see the sun again
You’ll never see the sun again
