about

Speaking of Colton Young and the band we were in, here's pretty much the only song we ever recorded. Type 7 (as it was ultimately named) was a band with the both of us, our high school friend Cheddar, and Colton's English tutor pal James. It lasted for a half a year before he replaced me with his then-girlfriend, and this group became Jolly Kryger and died by like February the next year. Its lyrics are based off of a recurring nightmare I used to have as a kid about literally tripping and falling into a neverending well, and its chords are an attempt at trying to figure out what sorta music Colton liked to hear. The boy refused to let me play rhythm guitar on it, but I did the vocals and the lead lines at the very end.

This April 2009 recording was the first band recording I ever engineered, so whatever imperfections and all that left are a product of its time. I think we recorded this with a cheap microphone that I just attached to the mic input on my first laptop. I suppose it's a step up from a tape recorder doing the shenanigans.

lyrics

I've been falling forever since last week
When I tripped on a rock and fell deep
Into your little old stony well
This whole experience is giving me hell

And I'm getting tired of seeing my young face
Reflected all over this horrid place
Where there's no way to tell
What's up and what's down in my endless cell

Been pondering as I've been falling forever
It's really nice of you to go and put it there
At that party of yours back when we were kids
I should've known something was amiss

Now I'm feeling the pain and the shame
Of falling forever with trouble to blame
As I'm stuck here in my new home, this well
Potentially trapped forever in my endless cell

Now I'm feeling the pain and the shame
Of falling forever with trouble to blame
As I'm stuck here in my new home, this well
Potentially trapped forever in my endless cell

In my endless cell
In my endless cell
In my endless cell...

(I hate my life.)

Compared to the original mix available on Myspace from April til late 2009, there's been a lot of changes made, mostly involving heavily restoring bits buried in the original mix, eliminating clicks and pops that slipped in cuz I used a cheap mic, and
