Motion Suggests (Itself) on YouTube was recorded and published the day after a boyish fling at the Open Mic at The Towne Crier in Beacon. That night on October 12th I sang Galaxie by Blind Melon and Fell on Black Days by Soundgarden. I needed more practice on that instead of this latest Pavement song I've committed to. Even learned another solo. The other ten takes you'll never hear. Here is take eleven.
[Verse 1]
I traced my family lines
It ends up with a
Wave of passing grainy days
Forgetting she's away
Here's the straight and narrow:
Brought my wheelbarrow
And it's filled with the lies
And the dirt and the hurt
[Chorus]
But I won't need someone to let me be
I won't need someone to let me be
[Verse 2]
I bought the cotton threads
And the voice could soothe you
Captivate your senses
Like a ginger ale rain
Bones they got the marrow
Curse the tainted pharaohs
Take off! Expect fun
You might learn how it runs
[Chorus]
But I won't need someone to let me be
No, I won't need someone to let me be
No, I won't need someone to let me be
No, I won't need someone to let me go
Let me be

Here's a companion video with the actual rendition of Fell on Black Days recorded at Phil Ciganer's place the other night. A little flat but OKay for Open Mic.
