1st song recorded on tascam 4-track in September-1996.. in parents' basement South City St. Louis, after laying on parent's front lawn at night ( first and only time) watching the stars and noticing they seemed still and moving at the same time.. song was improvised... started with guitar part/improvised, and vocals followed
lyrics
(written in inspired moment following night star watching.. scribbled in orange crayon hastily on notebook paper... )
Burning Star-
'the sky is black and creeping.. the stars are sliding like sloths.. in their spots...
the stars don't ask questions.. they burn, burn, until they go out..
I wish I could be a burning star... and blind you with light not doubt...
My tragic stars... don't ask questions..
please please please.. I wish I could be a burning star..
and blind you
and find you
and shine you
with light not doubt..
