Emily (rough demo) - MP3

this demo is shabby, but i love singing this song so much and i had the little recorder going so i thought i'd get it down for posterity.

work in progress. started all power-pop a la matthew sweet, but then i got this beach boys comp and had to rethink it a bit in lieu of that new evidence.

lyrics

it's gettin' dark
too dark to play
i can barely see your hands
i can barely see your face

emily, emily
i never had a sister is all
emily, emily
emily, whoa
throw me the ball

it's gettin' late
too late for noise
i can barely hear the drums
i can barely hear your voice

emily, emily
i think you're pretty good at guitar
emily, emily
emily, whoa
you know you are

when we get to heaven we can start another band

(awesome guitar or organ solo would go here depending on arrangement)

emily, whoa
emily, whoa
emily, whoa
you know you are
