Artist picture
rock, alt.country, americana, pop, boot-gazer. singer/songwriter/guitar aimed at crafting great songs rather than sticking to any particular genre of music...
singer/songwriter/guitar vaguely americana, pop, rock. all-original songs owe much to wilco, uncle tupelo, ryan adams, a whole mess of other good songwriters & dynamic performers.

Story behind the song
recording: did a late night show in tucson, wrapped up around 1am, drove home that night to tempe, got a few hours sleep. couldn't motivate to do anything useful the next day and had music on the brain, so set up 2 microphones (1 guitar/1 vocals) and recorded the all-live 11/07/2003 demo of which about 50 or so were passed out to friends as *astrophil*. song description pretty much = the song story for this one. people do dumb things, like drive into flooded washes & whatnot.
Lyrics
says she hates her face much more than last place strikes out on her own away from her flooded home can't discriminate predator from the prey but that's ok, if she finds a way back to my arms she sits and forgets images of water static outside, nervous inside I move along where there's no saying goodnight to you don't get out of your car when mars is just above the horizon don't let oppressive night be your excuse to set things right with the creosote flash flood warnings, unheeded warnings there's gotta be a better way around this hurdle, this quiet there's gotta be a better way around this spill but not around you well says she hates her face much more than last place I don't believe her now liquid swirls all around glowing outside, stirred up inside you get along where there's no saying goodnight to you
