A slinky blues number about getting over a lost love and the struggle to convince onesself of the finality. Oh the humanity!
The music is original, creative and from the heart. I hope you have as much fun listening as I had making it. Thanks for tuning in. Keep fighting the good fig
'Perfusion' is the moniker for this one-man musical juggernaut. I record all of my own material in the basement, after the kids are asleep! One track has a female backing vocal but all the rest is just l'il ol me. About 2/3 of the songs were done using Studio One - 3 and ProTools computer based software and the others on the Boss BR 1180 free-standing workstation.
In 2015 and 2016, string orchestra pieces I wrote were features in the season with the Turtle Creek Chamber Orchestra. In 2011 I was honored to receive the Janesville Arts Council People's Choice Award for Outstanding CD/Song for "I Married the Prom Queen"...
Story behind the song
It was time to venture into the blues genre when the hook for this song came to me during a lonely drive back home from Chicago.
Lyrics
Over You
Im so over you
I just let the Devil buy my soul,
Over you, I dont see, dont speak, dont hurt, dont know,
Over you, dont blink, cant think, cant taste my drink.
Went past our best café,
I knew Id never see you there,
Alone too flush, too tired to play,
Around the block I saw you walk away,
Im so over you,
Cant seem to think bout no one else,
Over you, I drive half as long and twice as fast,
Over you, too proud to feel sorry for myself,
Walked down a narrow street,
No room for walking two by two,
Of a kind,
Who went first and who got left behind
The times, of careless love and passion dressed in blue.
Dark tempest stirs below,
Summer shower turns to winter cold,
Lonely night,
Spend these hours just waiting for the light,
Of my life, tried to kick the habit but the habit just kicks me.
