Rocket Park

Happily Married? Happily Married?
Rarely (if ever) performed live, but an interesting experiment in vaguely folky melodies and harmonized lead guitars nonetheless.
Repulsion Repulsion
The heavier side of Rocket Park. Written during the making of the album and added to the track listing to offset all those damn ballads!
A Superstar in Disguise A Superstar in Disguise
I don't know if we're the first band to combine a Beastie Boys drum loop with slide guitar, but I'm going to guess this is probably the most sincere and heartfelt song to do so!
One More Sunrise One More Sunrise
Myk has called this "a good arrangement of a mediocre song", and he may be on to something. We never play this one live, mostly because there's no way we could recreate those shimmering multiple layers of guitar on stage.
Letter From a Ghost Letter From a Ghost
The first song to be recorded for the album, it still makes an occasional appearance in our live set. The melody was unconsciously stolen from a song so obscure that it's best if we just shut up about it right now!
Want Want
A dark and forboding waltz (featuring my custom 8-string tenor guitar with the bad paint job). Originally titled "Our Beloved Mascot" back in the days when I thought titles shouldn't appear in the lyrics.
You Leave Everything Behind You Leave Everything Behind
Pop paranoia. We'd call it "quirky" if it wasn't for the fact that we HATE the word "quirky".
Just a Tool Just a Tool
Social commentary as a flimsy excuse for wild improvisation. I always wanted to write something with a Bo Diddley beat.
I Ain't Home I Ain't Home
It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it. I've always enjoyed playing around with chord progressions that mimic the ever-popular "12 bar blues" pattern but boast some atypical twists and turns.
Autumn Autumn
Pure pomp for pretentious people. This is actually the oldest original song performed by Rocket Park, having been written in 1988.
