These clips are both from 2001. They were recorded at Masterworks with Shawn handling the drumming duties on Lonely and me doing everything else on both tunes. I’m a true believer in recycling to save the earth, and musical recycling to save frustration – forgoing the arduous process of having to think of new stuff. Extreme Artistic Lameness as it's called or just, EAL :)
Here I have Lonely "redux" from the original ’96 song – I thought it could be better in many ways so I decided to redo it in ’01 with a few changes. The sad part that concerns the EAL recycling thing, is that as a result of not having any new ideas right now, I’ve been working on new versions of both of these songs. Both will be blessed with a new set of lyrics and probably titles (most certainly ‘Lonely’ will get a new name in its third incarnation because I’ve always thought that name was kinda stupid and unoriginal. Don’t know why I called it that even at a distance of 13 years ago). So the new ‘Lonely’ is going to be just me and my parlor guitar and/or a nylon-strung classical guitar; while the new ‘Wave’ will likely resemble the original but have all kinds of cooler sounding synths and drum programming along with an acoustic piano and/or mandolin. Then again, I might get a fresh burst of new ideas and ditch these two relics, but until that point, I'll happily remain a mere shadow of my former self. HaHa!!
