About

When recording all the parts of a song yourself it's hard know in advance what each instrument can do. You don't have the luxury of playing off another part as you would if it was a band performing it, it's kind of like playing football by yourself - hard to go out for those long bombs. Being a guitarist and not a bassist I felt extremely flattered when a bass player told me the bass line was excellent and wanted to know the guys name.

Lyrics

Ten years ago
I lived in the city
Flower child of the streets
As more time passed
I moved to the country
Where my life-style seemed complete

The clear blue skies
Grapes on the vine
The clean fresh air
And the peace of mind
Well I don't need the noise
Or the traffic
The bright lights or the booze
I enjoy this life in the country
Walking around without my shoes
I don't need that city life anymore
No no
No I don't need that silly life anymore

All that stress
Was driving my crazy
Really bringing me down
I knew that I had to
Move to the country
'Cause that was the place
Where I finally found
