Have you ever met someone you were attracted too and you hit off, right off the bat? But you haven't got to know them all that well yet. So you keep hoping and questioning in your mind whether they have all the things you desire. That's what this song is about. From the male's point of view. But it could just as easily be the female's point of view.

It's rare when those things you desire end up being there. Rare, but it does happen. Enjoy this one.

A little rough on the recording but the idea and feeling is there. I tend to paint with broad strokes. And this song is a no exception.

Also on this week's show is Atomsplit's "The Water" - a slightly dark and deep riff based number of our Gangway EP CD.

Lyrics:
"BEeautiful Woman"

"Are you a confident Woman?
Are you a beautfiul Lady?
I might plead with you
I might be with you
All I'll be for you
All I need from you

Are you a complicated Woman?
Are you a kind and sweet Lady?
Will you believe in me?
Yeah I hope you see
All I'll be for you
All I need from you

And on and on we sail,
Through the deepest darkest vai
Crash into the void,
and we're beautifully destroyed.

Are you a sensual Woman?
Are you a liberated Lady?
I would bleed for you
Will you pull me through
And I'll be for you
All I need from you

And on and on we sail,
Through the deepest darkest vai
Crash into the void,
So beautifully destroyed.
Rejuvenate again,
With your glistening skin
Capturing the heart
Somehow we knew right from the start

(bridge)
Agonized so long
Hanging on to wrong
You wanted to be strong
Warm wanna be
So keep in step with me
I want, I wanna be believed
Are you a deeply loving Woman?
A true really special someone?
Will you be with me?
Goddess set me free
All I'll be for you
All I need from you

And on and on we sail,
Through the deepest darkest vai
Crash into the void,
So beautifully destroyed.
Rejuvenate again,
With your glistening skin
Capturing the heart
Somehow we knew right from the start

Thanks to The Little Show in Pennsylvania for spinning some Atomsplit on his Podcast. "Stop A Second" was Scott's choice for this Episode.

I suppose you either love Valentines Day or you hate it. I've had some very memorable ones and some very forgetful ones. This year was kind of inbetween.

So I got up early the Sunday before Vday and it was snowing (very lightly) here in Atlanta. Looking out the window with my acoustic and playing around with an old Rome in A Day progression I came up with this bittersweet love song.

This song is about having faith that there is Valentine out there for you but he or she is not quite there yet. Maybe you met her and haven't quite sealed the deal but you hope too. Maybe it's someone from your past you're no longer with. Ah, love and angst. I love it. Also on this week's show is Atomsplit's "Daybreak" - a fun fooling around love song.

Just uploaded this neo classic clip.

I've been battling within on whether to go ahead and build a myspace page for myself. I used to have one as the band Atomsplit. But ace guitarist Cory Orlando inherited it. He spent a lot of time getting friends on it and took it over. So I'd have to start over. I went ahead and reassigned and reregistered the name just in case.

I'm not sure if I can make it in the myspace world though. I look totally like a drag queen with eyeliner on. So I don't know what I'd use for my photo. I do have some weird ones of course. Maybe those would work.

I got a email newsletter a few days ago from from huge cd maker conglomerate DiscMakers about how everybody HAS to have a myspace page. Especially bands. So I started to rethink it. Even hollywood actors and brands and companies have one now.

Of course then it seems like why bother. With sooooo much clutter on there. Why be a grain of sand on the planet Tattonie?

I never owned parachute pantseither.

And I didn't buy Nirvana's hit album until 1999.
Used at Disc go round.

We'll see. If I go ahead and move forward with the page, I'll post it here.
Check it out as it is NOW though if you want.
Pretty awesome.

At least I'd have Tom as my friend.

Just in time for Valentines Day I've started a YouTube account and posted the SO OVER YOU video there for the world to see. Click here and watch it again! So far it's had 7 hits! (i'm being sarcastic). And I was two of them! Ah well, so the song is much better than the Video. But the video is fun. Original Atomsplit bassist Hawkins and I made it in my basement one day after a trip to ToysRUs to buy the figures. When I saw the Sum41 video with the action figures years later I was like...AH! I did it first. Of course, I didn't have the budget to buy ALL those figures they used. It was fun at the time. The live footage in the video is from a gig at the old Chameleon Club in Atlanta. Jason Colby on guitar and John P on the drums. I think I edited this thing down in an alod version of Adobe Premiere. (I was a quicktime 1.0 user!)

I wasn't really sure what the heck I was gonna do until this morning. I took a shower and jumped up in bed with a towel on and my acoustic guitar. Then this melody and lyric revealed itself to me. I had a few other things I was working on over the course of the week, but wasn't really satisfied with them. So a hot shower did me good evidently. (usually I take just a cold shower)
Set out to work at at and finished about 12 hours later. It's the first time I've sung an entire song in falsetto! Goash, I didn't know I had it in me. It seems like a mix of Love and Rockets, Prince, Fine Young Canibals, The Cure, Chumbawunda, and I don't know what else. But I think it's cool.

A slow, groovy, sexy song. It's about not wanting to leave your girlfriend's or boyfriend's (whatever th case may be) side. They are simple, yet slightly clever I hope, lyics. Sometimes the kiss principal is the best. Especially in songwriting. Also on this week's show is Atomsplit's "Quicksand".
