== Lyrics ==

 how hoard moves
 the multitudes prove
 how timing peels apart us human
 we would be healers, preists and teachers
 but O the key turns somehow we're neither
 
 but i was a member of set
 i could be counted with the several at my back
 
 as the self does what's less selfless
 what am i to pay these bills with
 and where's my woman because she'll bear witness
 to wounds which bloodless bleed this business
 
 i was a member of a set
 i could be counted with the ones which i collect
 
 i was a member of a set
 i could be counted with the several at my back

This rocks my world.  Seriously, this distortion and synth stuff you've got going on this recent stuff, I'm really, really digging it.  I'm a sucker for noise on top of pop and you're killing me.  I assume this is at least in part about your recent change in career trajectory.

I want this song to go on and on, actually.  It's so short!  I'd love to hear a bridge or just a breakdown with a few selected bits pulled out and on their own.  The chorus is also oddly affecting.  Solid. [[User:Gabemcelwain|Gabemcelwain]] 08:49, 7 May 2009 (PDT)

hey thanks for the comments man! yeah i'm digging on this too. it was very dashed off. i have a few things cooking, but haven't finished anything in a while so i decided to bang out a simple song. i wrote the chords in like two seconds. they lyrics came pretty quickly too once i got going. my approach to it was pretty lazy, which i think is appropriate for the feel of the song. i was mostly going for the sounds of the words and then was a little surprised to see something that seemed somewhat meaningful at the end. i picked out a drum loop, and laid down four tracks of acoustic guitar and put a bunch of pulsing modulating effects on them. then when i tried to do a synth lead i realized that i hadn't tuned the instrument, so i just did some noisy stuff, which actually sound kind of cool. vocals are triple tracked. i agree that this song could go on a bit more, and i think the ending could be stronger, it just sort of has an obligatory double chorus and then vamps through the end. sounds a bit thoughtless. probably because i didn't think much about it. i think i'll sit on this a while and then maybe come back to it.
