About the song
Browsing the homepage of Facebook, I came apon an interesting status update from a friend of mine.
I thought Staceys' status re: The Speed of Dark was interesting and would make a good song title. I asked her to tell me the story behind the update and I used her exact words as the lyrics as an exercise in keepin' it real.
I layed down the music in the studio and with her printed email in hand, I stepped up to the mic and recorded this first take as a scratch vocal for Erin Hamilton to come in and sing the final version. I am sharing this as a step in the process.

Lyrics
“The Speed of Dark” – Stacey Soleil
Truth be told, I’m kinda in a funk right now…
And I’m tryin’ my very best not to be defeated.
So I pick myself up with self-inflicted humor based on irony,
Sometimes I am so random.
This is how the thought popped in my head, it was dark in my place,
no motivation.
I need to move with the speed of light but now I ask myself…
What’s the speed of dark ? What’s the speed of dark ?
Is it faster than my tears ? Is it faster than my deepest fears ?
I know the light…I know the light has got to be near.
This is how the thought popped in my head, it was dark in my place,
no motivation.
I need to move with the speed of light but now I ask myself…
What’s the speed of dark ? What’s the speed of dark ?
This is how the thought popped in my head, it was dark in my place,
no motivation.
I need to move with the speed of light but now I ask myself…
What’s the speed of dark ? What’s the speed of dark ?
I need to know the speed of dark, go get from the dark into the light.
I need to know the speed of dark, go get from the dark into the light.
Truth be told, I’m kinda in a funk right now…
And I’m tryin’ my very best not to be defeated.
So I pick myself up with self-inflicted humor based on irony,
Sometimes I am so random.
This is how the thought popped in my head, it was dark in my place,
no motivation.
I need to move with the speed of light but now I ask myself…
What’s the speed of dark ? What’s the speed of dark ?
Is it faster than my tears ? Is it faster than my deepest fears ?
I know the light…I know the light has got to be near.
This is how the thought popped in my head, it was dark in my place,
no motivation.
I need to move with the speed of light but now I ask myself…
What’s the speed of dark ? What’s the speed of dark ?
This is how the thought popped in my head, it was dark in my place,
no motivation.
I need to move with the speed of light but now I ask myself…
What’s the speed of dark ? What’s the speed of dark ?
I need to know the speed of dark, go get from the dark into the light.
I need to know the speed of dark, go get from the dark into the light.
