You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the artist.
Blues-influenced songster, churning out songs never-before heard about food, love, work, teaching Spanish, and more.
In an effort to get my music out into the world and to hone my writing practice, I'm starting a Song-A-Week project I'll attempt to release one brand new song per week for a year, starting today, Sunday, May 14th, 2006, and continuing through Sunday, May 13, 2007. Traditionally I, like most people, have written about love and sex — attraction, frustration, satisfaction, the works. As evidenced by the first song in my new series (about a job interview for a lame job), I'm trying to break out of this mold a bit more with my new series of songs... that said, I remain ever myself, and surely there will be more songs about love and whatnot.

Story behind the song
Just woke up and saw some light on the house across the street -- that's where the chorus came from.
Lyrics
New pair of glasses on the endtable Some couple fighting on TV New cell phone plugged into the wall I sure hope that phone don't ring Chorus: Dappled light on the house across the way Dappled light on you and me Dappled light scatters 'cross everything I can't get no clarity Birds line up on the powerline Pictures line up in my head A fondue set, your hand in mine A four-poster double bed Chorus Bridge: It was just like in the movies Your impossible face I don't know what drew you to me I was all fool, and you all grace My arm's asleep, your breath stinks, Don't think I'll have this luck again. This time next week I'll be comfortable You'll be running back to him Chorus
