New Jersey Love Song. Recorded with "good" friend from NJ.
Bandwidth Monsters Heroin Addicted Peaceniks Basically Lost in America. Watch us PLAY Naked as SEX machines with guitars!
The Bandwidth Monsters (BWM) were formed in 1991. BWM just got back from a tour of Mexico having played in numerous dive bars in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Chiapas, Los Cabos, Guadalajara, and Mexico City from 1991-2002. We came back to Chicago from Mexico after our drummer Raul was offered a job on a popular Mexican soap opera (he's the good looking gay guy going after both Miriam and Carlos..figure it out). During our extended tour we played in Helsinki Finland also and were notorious there as an ABBA look alike band. We now play what comes naturally. Scott Fraser and Dave Daker are the primary song writers.
Story behind the song
Ever been with a Jersey girl? Can't beat the experience. This is a love song to the best friend I have. It's the real deal. Listen and figure out what town she lives in. If you listen real close you can figure out what Jersey boy back me up on this song....
Lyrics
A beautiful mind: Queen of Tamaques
Intro
I called your home about an hour ago
You didn’t answer so I assume you’re not home
But baby, if you’re listening to this answering machine right now
I want you to pick up the phone
I’ve been thinking bout a lot of things lately, and what I’ve done wrong
But maybe now, is a good time to start, to start, all over again
Sometimes when I think about you I don’t understand, how
Someone so wonderful as you, can make me, a better man
She gets up in the morning before I rise
The Queen of Tamaques can always make me smile
Running off around the Park while I’m still in bed
Way too early for me but she’s so pretty Blondie
She walks around in circles while I’m standing still
She’s got a god given gift she knows me all too well
You can tell her, if you see her, that
I still love her and her beautiful, beautiful, mind
Adept at solving the practical, mysteries of life
She cleans up all the messes, I make in mine
Scrubbing harder the stain that remains of my lies
Why can’t I come clean? I mean god? Oh why?
She can rise to the occasion and knowing her strong will
I can fall in love beside her here or in an exotic locale
When I’m driving through Linden, Rahway, and Westfield
All I know for sure, is that she’s got a beautiful mind
She’s got a beautiful mind
She’s got a beautiful mind
She’s got a beautiful mind
There’s an air of independence in all of her statements
Confident, suspense in her living room placement
Savvy and skilled at debate when El Corazon
is stronger than the mind, on the matter at hand
She says I do all these things, to make her jealous
But I don’t know anything else, yet, she’s gotta know me better than that
You can tell her that I love her
Cause that’s how I feel
Did I mention she’s a package? She’s a beautiful girl!
Break
Maybe I’m afraid
Maybe I’m a fool
Maybe I’m a lost cause too
Baby while I’m away
I can’t think
I can’t wait
I can’t take the thought of losing you!
You can wander around jersey if you’d think you’d find
A higher value, a better meeting of the mind but
Even the psycho’s at Princeton will tell ya fo’ sure
You’ve got to place your trust in what you’re feeling, cause sometimes it’s true,
You could walk through life and not really have lived
Until that moment in time when you find someone who really gives a “”
I wasn’t looking for purpose but somehow I’ve found
A single woman with a very, beautiful, mind
