Pigment
Written around July 2000
This tune is a fuster-cluck of highschool half-truths and remembrances. Heavily influenced by Self—the band not the magazine.
Immature, insecure and all the while
Maintaining counter-culture cool
Seduced and became of social significance
Still managing to retain the same eyes, the same thighs
Acquiring a new life with a finger on the mute switchDon’t mind me I’m just a fixture of the imagination
And a pigment of youth still trying to detain youPremature, insincere are all the smiles
Refraining an unspoken rule
Produced to create a social omniscient
Willing to relate that
We aren’t as deep as we all pretend to be
But the words go unspokenDon’t mind me I’m just a fixture of the imagination
And a pigment of youth still trying to detain youImmature, insecure and all the while
Maintaining counter-culture cool…Don’t mind me I’m just a fixture of the imagination
And a pigment of youth still trying to detain you.

Nice Music overall and nice site.
Sweet man, thanks!
Very good, I like the guitar, but the chorus seems a little too broken up to me. I think if you made it a little different in the last verse and held out “Youth” with power in that same chord for the whole rest then it would give it a little more energy and continuity. But that’s just me the musician nitpicking. Great lyrics and good music. Keep it up.
Awesome tune man. I really dug the stop start feel. Really added a lot to the emotional context of the song. I can forgive the quality of these demos and see past that minor detail to some really well written songs and some fantastic arranging. I’d love to hear what you’d come up with in a full featured studio. Keep it up!

There’s noting I like seeing more than … whoa, it’s rendering what I type down there. That’s SWEET! Helloooooooo. Yo. Hey! It’s typing everything I type and typing it just as fast as I type! Cool.
Anyway, as I was saying, there’s nothing I like seeing more than a beautifully designed website, without the filth of pop-culture or trend all over it. Your site makes me smile. Your music is great, too. This song, in particular, deserves a production session with some kick-a drums.

Let me know if you ever want to start a MusicOlouge. If you use pro-tools I would be happy to add some tracks here and there. I like your style! Nice work.
