14. Never Write A Song About You
(produced by ChrisMick & Ceschi
piano / drums by ChrisMick
vocals / guitar / casio / beat edits by Ceschi )

I tried to change the order of these songs over and over again but I always came back to this song as the final song on the album. It's pretty much a pop song with folk and hip hop undertones and there's been a love/hate relationship with the song ever since I recorded it back in late 2006. The chorus is somewhat trite & overly self aware and I never really liked the sound of these drums. Still, after all of my obsessive self critiques, I think people should hear this song. Out of my collection of forgotten songs I think that this one remains anthemic and relatable in a strange way. The end. Love, Ceschi.

lyrics

we'll capsize soon enough my dear
there's nothing here that can save us
our heroes all drank cyanide laced grape kool aid
and melted away
minutes before the bastards could hear our screams;
those harmonies composed of throat noises and spattered saliva
sound like Harry Partch outtakes
from a bad day
when the sun didn't quite shine
on California
as we expected it to.

and I promised myself that I'd never
write a single word about you
but I have
so I hope this song is bad
and I hope that no one likes it
because if they do
they may just like you too

no
it's not your fault
it's mine
I realized I loved you much more
when I couldn't see you or talk to you on the phone
aside from those sweet sweat moments of ecstasy
we had problems of our own

so I promised myself that I'd never
I'd never shed a single tear drop for you
because I have shed so many in the past
that my tear ducts are as still as
botox victims in the eyes of hurricanes

ok
so I promised myself that I'd never,
i'd never sing a fucking song about you
but I have
so I guess I'm a liar
hope this sticks to your small throat
like rock candy
on a dry midwest summer day
ok
i'll never write a song about you.
