about

Written, tracked and mixed at Angel's Music Room in Maysville, Kentucky. No samples, no synths - all live takes through microphones. Okay fine, the bass was DI.

Interesting gear: rhythm and lead guitar recorded through a heavily modded 1982 Fender Princeton Reverb II with 1950's Magnavox Alnico speaker. Guitar solo tape delay with a cranked TEAC A-6010 reel-to-reel tape machine. Breakdown/final chorus recorded through restored Magnecorder PT6-J

lyrics

It’s October now
Summer made its way to Fall
It’s over now
You gave up trying to call

It’s been since Spring
You gave up on that ring
I thought by now

I’d make a little ground

Well maybe someday I think about you
From a different point of view
It won’t be soon, but
Maybe someday I’ll wake up just fine
And you won’t be on my mind
It won’t be soon, but

Maybe next year
Maybe next year

It’s getting colder now
But I’ve felt this way a while
My shoulders frozen out
My eyes well up with ice

It’s been since May
I called you every day
I thought by now
I’d feel better somehow

Well maybe someday
I think about you
From a different point of view
It won’t be soon, but
Maybe someday I’ll wake up just fine
And you won’t be on my mind
It won’t be soon, but

Maybe next year
Maybe next year
Maybe next year
Maybe next October

Well it feels so wrong
To give up after this long
But if we start now

Maybe someday I think about you
From a different point of view
It won’t be soon, but
Maybe someday I wake up just fine
And you won’t be on my mind
It won’t be soon, but

Maybe next year
Maybe next year
Maybe next year
Maybe next October

Thanks to Lee Redmond for letting me borrow his bass, and Nick for letting me borrow his drums and beautiful A Custom crash.

Special additional thanks to Zach, Nick, Chanslor and my dad for listening to and encouraging me through 5 completely different demos of this song, which were assuredly less enjoyable to listen to than the final product.
