ACCUPRESSURE: I make a crease with my arm push the skin out dimple ease it back in like a gear shaft press, count, release. This is supposed to work my stomach cinches itself in a divide my head whitens my blood scurries. I take flesh from my palm and rub it into elbow feeling the thud of vein an inch away my chest feels like feathers my helicopter ears speed my neck is tight. I count slow minutes as if I am God as if by counting them they will pass easier through my bloodstream. -Jennifer Warren

Story behind the song

This is an album in which I began the learning process of using professional-level recording equipment. Still don't have the level of software to avoid several frustrating issues, but I'm excited with what we now have.  I didn't anticipate having to re-learn what I have been doing for years regarding recording levels, mixing, mic placement etc. merely from having a much better microphone (MXL 960 tube condenser microphone-cardioid). All the songs uploaded for this album have the same info. for this category of input.

Lyrics

TASTING OCTOBER
G, C, em, C
I'm transferring the taste of October
into a Sunday fist.
I'm looking past the rain,
sliding past the mist.
Somehow it feels like spring
even though it's only fall.
I think I missed the deadline,
I forgot to return the calls.

Even then it doesn't matter
if the tests go untaken,
life will carry on
even if I'm still mistaken

	and the air feels good on my face
	the afternoon cools my shoulders
	I'm sitting cross-legged in the laundromat
	and I'm tasting October...

I burn my lips with coffee
an accident's novelty.
I burn three weeks of nothingness
and get up off my knees.

I've been begging a God I don't believe in
because I had to ask at least
to put my confusion somewhere
to fall into a faithless release

	but now I'm back to the abstract
	much sounder than reality
	even if it means I'm indulging
	in mindless heresy...

I believe in October
and everything beyond.
I'm removing the blinding yesterday
it lasted way too long...

I'm tasting October..
tasting October...
