At the corner of blank and pre-teen Called me on a Friday 
Did it mean anything? 
Meet me on a Saturday
 I wish I could have seen what she seen I wish I could of seen what she seen

©jd torian SWU Fall 2017. Song 4 i made an early era cure-style track for halloween week (think seventeen seconds/ faith/ pornography). my voice is very un-cure-ish, and I just could not leave out the modern vocoder-ed guitar, but all other elements are present. it was really fun to make something that sounded like my influences. i do anyway, but you know what I mean. ***bonus halloween lyrics too...

swu summer 2017, song extra credit/ make-up This was supposed to be a cover, and it is, pretty much. I emailed Don Mercer for his favorite words of this past season, and they just happened to be something that he and Mark Magram did (huge bonus).
