    Side A was primarily meant to be demos.
    Recorded live + overdubs.
    Features Laura House on electric guitar, Noam Ash on drums, and
    Jeff J bass and mouth. Later Jeff added 2nd guitar parts, percussion,
    over dubbed some smooth vocals parts, backing vox and added keyboards etc..

    Side B was assembled by Jeff to fill in the side and complete the record,
    except for the song White Noise, which features Laura House on the drum kit,
    Noam Ash playing rhythm electric guitar.



    I have been working a stay at home parent life for the majority of the last 8 years.
    Recently, in addition to child care and home chores, I have made money cleaning
    the local Canada Post office in the evenings, which has afforded me to save up to make this record.
    I am very grateful to have a home and a place to make music. I live very rural these days,
    keeping my attention to Nature, my children and the privilege to have space and time to create art.
    I am grateful for my family, and friends that I have known thus far.
    Thanks to all of you who have supported this project by buying our records,
    or downloading our albums. - Jeff

I don't wanna give you (power) I think you're kind of a liar Yet, (some) myth(s) truth(s) can (sometimes) inspire Can't won't don't Like you by a fire Everybody's dying Mom's and Dad's Great bands I read it in the flyer Oh, and every night, I've been having' guilt sleep because I'm dig-ging a hole in the fire And I feel bad I aspire to be the greatest dad more than to give a liar power I should retire My hands are flat tires My moves are frayed wires But I- I- -I -I -I- I - Still L-o-v-e You More than E-v-e-r

Untangled 02:22
I'm not dead I'm not lost I've got something, so what. I'm not dead I'm not lost I've got something, long lastin. Searching for bugs, fruit ripens but I can't go outside hungry but useless, I fed it but it still dies A note a note a knot untangled Sea urchin what's wrong? Searching for nothing, for nothing to scare me for nothing to scare me A note a note a not untangled Sent the new kid some clean clothes, for when, they get out of jail Hid a secret, only time is in a snail woo woo woo. woo A note a note a knot untangled
3.
Tropics 03:35
I don't know nothin' bout the tropics I don't know nothin' at all I don't know nothin' bout pyramids, I don't know how tall? I don't know where you go when you're not near me I don't know if I care at all? I don't know you at all I' never been to Australia, I don't know if I'm that scared I don't know if I went to your house? I have to be brave I don't know what it's like in Alaska? I don't know if I wanna go, I don't know if I'll ever play another show? I don't know nothin' at all I don't know you I don't know you at all I see things out the window, I'm pretty sure I see the world decaying, I'm pretty sure there's a house in there Soon it's gonna snow like crazy, that's frozen water, for any-body who doesn't know or care, out there, I care I don't know anybody, I don't know anything at all I don't know you, I don't know you, at all at all I don't think that I'll ever grow any taller than(then) I am I don't think that I'll ever eat any more then(than) I can I was told that you can only eat as much as your body can hold, that's when you'll die I don't know why I said that? I don't know why I try? I don't know why I am who I am? I don't know why I cry? I don't know anybody I don't know anything' at all I don't know you I don't know you, at all at all at all So, hello hello hello goodbye hello hello hello goodbye hello hello hello good-bye, good-bye good-bye

Outside 03:48
I met the local landscaper, I like the way he hangs his tools, we went out for lunch one day, I think he's pretty cool outside Ii never play the lottery, but I've entered some casinos, I won a lot of money but on the next role I lost it all and went outside I like the local artist, I like art, I like painting and drawing, just wait to start outside At night it's dark, It's dark at night, I go outside I might catch a fright, I can't see that well , but I can feel and smell, hear swell, use all my other senses and something's brushing against my leg, and deer's over there and bear over here, a lot of magic happens at night Outside (slow it down) caterpillar, centipede, santa claus...that's right I said it, a lot of magic happens at night Outside Outside computer Outside computer Outside Computer Outside computer
