I only really got interested in recording songs and singing in June/July 2007 when a friend told me to record a song, but I have always loved creating music one way or another (anyone remember that Music game on playstation? Haha). I can play the piano and I used to play the drums. Haven't played the drums for a while, so I'm probably not so good. Currently learning to play the guitar and I have a tin whistle somewhere that I should try to learn as well.

Story behind the song
I loved this song ever since I first put this album in my stereo and pressed play. I was fumbling around on my guitar and started playing something I wanted to develop further, but realised it sounded familiar. Then I figured it out, learnt how the rest went and did my first cover.
Lyrics
Let's get together and talk about the modern age. All of our friends were gathered there with their pets just talking shit about how we're all so upset about the disappearing ground. As we watch it melt.... It's all of the good that won't come out of us and how eventually our hands will just turn to dust, if we keep shaking them. Standing here on this frozen lake. I do this thing where I think I'm real sick but I won't go to the doctor to find out about it Cause they make you stay real still in a real small space As they chart up your insides and put them on display. They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it. All the good that won't come out of me and all the stupid lies I hide behind. It's such a big mistake lying here in your warm embrace. Oh, you're almost home. I've been waiting for you to come in. Dancing around in your old suits going crazy in your room again. I think I'll go out an embarrass myself by getting drunk and falling down in the street. You say I choose sadness that it never once has chosen me. Maybe you're right... Let's talk about all of our friends who lost the war And all of the novels that had yet to be written about them. It's all the good that won't come out of them and all the stupid lies they hide behind. It's such a big mistake Standing here on this frozen lake. It's all of the good that won't come out of me And how eventually my mouth will just turn to dust If I don't tell you quick. Standing here on this frozen lake.
