	I like the eighthnote chords on the keyboard on the first chorus. I want to listen to this driving on an open road on a sunny summer day, singing along intermittently - which should also be the video.

-i should note that like a year and a half ago, when i was working on this, i played emily and lixian this and HBGH, and they gave this the thumbs down then.  i listened to them.  i should have kept listening to them.  this is what happens when i don't have a band.  i spent some embarassing amount of time polishing and polishing this one, and only upon completion of it do i realize that you can't polish a turd to any great effect.  i really gilded the hell out of this one:

 but in the end i feel like it amounts to naught, outside of maybe the bridge.  the worst offense is that the chorus isn't any good.  you can tell because i keep trying to add parts to it to make it exciting.  keyboards?  another keyboard?  backing vocals?  no dice.
-anyway, i teased y'all with the page, so now i gotta post it.  and i'm proud to be part of the great wikisplosion of '08.  next one'll be good!  i swear!

	i shoehorned what may be an ill-advised key change into this just because i never have key changes and Sara and i discussed it recently, and i resolved to try it out. a semi-throwaway like this seemed like a low-stakes opportunity to attempt it. i think i was too abrupt about both transitions, but i hear that pacing problems when one's new at something are commonplace.		i shoehorned what may be an ill-advised key change into this just because i never have key changes and Sara and i discussed it recently, and i resolved to try it out. a semi-throwaway like this seemed like a low-stakes opportunity to attempt it. i think i was too abrupt about both transitions, but i hear that pacing problems when one's new at something are commonplace.
