about

This is my modern-ish take on this huge and well-loved song from 1990 for my beloved GenX friends by The Sundays. I sought to recycle signature elements of the original while giving it just a little something different. If you listen long enough you'll see what I mean. The Sundays are a husband-and-wife duo, so I'm particularly grateful to have had my darling drummer-husband Eduardo Torres perform on this track (who also made my 12/8 groove-conception for this cover a reality). Everything else on and in this track was a harrowing labor of love by yours truly.

. . .

In addition to a brand-new original song posted exclusively to my supporters each month at The Vault (my version of Patreon) in 2023, I'm also producing/recording/and-publicly-releasing a new cover song each month, rotating through my three different projects: One Big Dark Room, Lex Land, and moorhaunter. My supporters get the new cover song a month early, but this track, publicly released in March 2023, was the February 2023 deliverable at The Vault.

lyrics

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue tied
But I can see how people look down
They're on the inside
Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's where the story ends
here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh, I never should have said the books that you read
Were all I loved you for
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
It's the memories of your shed that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise

Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
And I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for
Oh, the devil in me said, "Go down to the shed"
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically say the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise

Here's where the story ends
here's where the story ends
