Say You'll Be Mine (3:34) ************************************************************* Track Descriptions ************************************************************* My Way Back is an acoustic/desert rock mix with cathedral keyboards and alien special fx. The lyrics define "finding my way back to you". We all end up lost sometimes and find our way back to what we truly care about. ************************************************************* Ebb and Flow starts with a catchy acoustic guitar riff. It is followed by a pre chorus and transitions into the chorus singing "here we go / ebb and flow". Ebb and Flow was originally slated to be the title track for the album. In the end it was a great second track. ************************************************************* Anywhere That We Go was hard to name during recording. Lyrics were re-written several times. The final version depicts eloping to Vegas. Nobody does that right? At least not the author of the song Jesse David. However the song is catchy with lyrics "Set Me Free" embedded with violins and acoustic strumming. A few vocal lines inadvertently emulate David Bowie in in the section that goes "I Got You" (delay delay). ************************************************************* "For you to cure me from Hyper Delirium". This anthem is sang during the chorus of this catchy tune ad is arguably the heaviest mix on the album. It also borders on acoustic and rock, even though no electric guitars are found anywhere on A Friend Can Follow. The acoustic strumming and delay sound is accompanied by a keyboard and violins. Lyrics describe a society addicted to electronic mail and texting. The second verse has a line that describes picking up a computer and smashing it on the floor. Who knows, maybe we all become ipods in the end? ************************************************************* Festive Strum was one of the first mixes created for Friend as an instrumental. This track is a return to form for Jesse David. People will recognize Jesse's playing style, strumming heavily on his acoustic with a lowered D tuning. The melody is joined by congas, symphony, bells and beats. This one is also a great holiday mixer. ************************************************************* "How can I even see the next Overpass to find my way out" is sang during this classical guitar laden mix. Overpass was originally written in 2006 for a previous Sodacon studio release that never came to fruition. Jesse David spent more time on Overpass than any other track, working tediously on the classical guitar and vocals. The end result is a mix that is forever etched as one of Jess's best tracks of all time. A constant live show staple. ************************************************************* Lucky Streak was initially meant to be a song about the credit crisis in the mortgage industry. Ultimately that didn't work. It would be likened to writing a song about hobbits or algebra. Yet, when the theme changed to gambling (here we come Vegas again) it depicts a person who can't walk away from the tables because they think they are going to hit the big jackpot. It ends with a car chase, screaming and police sirens. It is also fun to drive around Vegas at night listening to Lucky Streak. Try it sometime. ;0) ************************************************************* Classical One/ The Pollinator sounds just like the title. It was a myriad of classical riffs Jess put together throughout the last year. The part at the end with the violins and buzzing ended up sounding like a humming bird pollinating something. A great instrumental. ************************************************************* Go For It is the longest track on the album and arguably the best. The live version of this song is four minutes longer. In life you can't sit back and wait for it to happen. Sometimes you just have to go for it. ************************************************************* Say You'll Be Mine is a mix that was too late for valentines day, yet it will be ready for next year. "I don't want to email or text, I want to see you". A peaceful and pleasant way for the Friend finale. ************************************************************* A Friend Can Follow also available on CD at Sodacon.com. A Sodacon EP is set for release in September of 2008. ************************************************************* Lyrics: ************************************************************* "My Way Back" written by Jesse David April, 2008 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 {verse 1} Took a hike to get some air Dried up lungs in disrepair traveler stranded - on the road walk for miles in the cold {pre-chorus} Lost in the the desert - without you Thought that I'd never return Look now who's back again Have a gift waiting for you {chorus} and when I'm lost - You've taken me in Climbed my way up To the top of your den Even when I've fell I've found my way back All I need in the world find my way back to you {verse 2} My traveler friend stumbled along emotional see saw all locked up He never had luck that he could tell Pushed forward without a reason to dwell {pre-chorus 2} Lost on the ocean - without you Thought that I'd sink to the bottom Now that I'm back on land Find my way back to you {chorus} and when I'm lost - You've taken me in Climbed my way up To the top of your den Even when I fell I've found my way back All I need in the world find my way back to you (bridge) Alien fly by - control it with my mind Love can be a mirage - the song, is the fountain of truth ************************************************************* "Ebb and Flow" written by Jesse David Thursday, March 6, 2008 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 First verse: Let's hide for awhile - feel's so good to kiss your soft face We'll run far away - every time you make me crazy Bridge: How do you know if we could be wrong - Tomorrow it could be long gone I'll make a promise right now -that I'll never leave you If I do - Chorus: I try to give and not take - doesn't matter to me - Here we go - ebb and flow Honey let's not wait doesn't matter to me - Here we go - ebb and flow Second verse: Let's add up the miles - there's endless things in my life to replace won't give you away Fly with me while the heavens sing Bridge: You never know - when I sing my songs - Am I lying through the microphone I may not be John Mayer but I know how to please you I do Chorus: I try to give and not take - doesn't matter to me - Here we go - ebb and flow Honey let's not wait doesn't matter to me Cause we mix well Here we go - ebb and flow ************************************************************* "Anywhere That We Go" written by Jesse David 2008 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 {verse 1} Check one I can do check two we can break now As bright as can be - you're glow slowly fades down let's get up and go - we'll head out to the big town just you and it's me - and friend can follow around {bridge} the first time I saw you - My life had changed I've struggled to keep pace with you yet I can weather Anything in the eye of the storm I got to {chorus} ah my love comfort me ah my love share with me ah my love never separately ah my love set me free {verse 2} let's take the big plunge - we'll drive straight down to V town Anywhere that I go - hope you're always around Check me in your room - bring all of your heat down we'll fire up our dreams - build a family now {bridge} the first time I saw you - My life had changed I've struggled to keep pace with you yet I can weather Anything in the eye of the storm I got to {chorus} ah my love comfort me ah my love share with me ah my love never separately ah my love set me free ************************************************************* "Hyper Delirium" written by Jesse David Saturday, March 8, 2008 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 {verse 1} I suffer from Hyper Delirium - checking my inbox again and again I never knew that it could be so strong - I just have to see if you've written back {bridge} Don't want to be alone - You are the only cure that I know and I can't wait another minute more {Chorus} So frustrated - how long I've waited Message a lifetime away - So frustrated - how long can I take it - For you to cure me from Hyper Delirium {verse 2} Dark circles on my eyes from this vicious strain - I've been up all night pacing back and forth I could drive over to see if you're there - or pick up this computer smash it on the floor {bridge} Don't want to be alone - Left with these chats on a screen or notes because I just want something physical {Chorus} So frustrated - how long I've waited Message a lifetime away - So frustrated - how long can I take it - For you to cure me from Hyper Delirium ************************************************************* "Overpass" written by Jesse David Tuesday, July 2006 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 {verse 1} There's something below the pass As I'm seeing the road below There's something below the pass As I feel velocity There's something to know about Yet it snuck right up on me {chorus} I'm never one to complain about Something I haven't control about How can I even see the next Overpass to find my way out {verse 2} Slide in the gear below The ride always takes me This is unbelievable Too heavy the intensity Always have to look up to someone Or be of service anyhow {chorus} I'm never one to complain about Something I haven't control about How can I even see the next Overpass to find my way out {verse 3} There's something below the pass As I'm seeing the road below Locked in a speaker grove As I feel velocity There's something to know about Yet it snuck right up on me ************************************************************* "Lucky Streak" written by Jesse David Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 {verse 1} I can feel the waves of opinion cast downward they say that odds are piled up and not in my favor them big odds {pre-chorus} why take a minor win and just walk away Stay at the table there's more bets to be made losers walk down the road {chorus} and I don't care if the markets crash - You see I'm gonna beat the house because I'm playing to win and who should care if indices fall Takes one lucky streak to walk away with it all roll them dices {verse 2} I get told that you'd best count your breaks while your winning Well l keep rolling don't want an albatross on momentum and decline... {pre-chorus} have a special feeling that today is my day Dressing up to kill and play the numbers away Maybe I'll just end up broke {chorus} and I don't care if the markets crash - You see I'm gonna beat the house when I start playing to win and who should care if indices fall Just need one lucky streak to walk away with it all and I don't care if the markets crash - and who should care if indices fall and I don't care if the micies crack - and who should care where them dicies fall {chorus} ************************************************************* "Go For It" written by Jesse David Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 {verse 1} Go for it now- Nothing left to lose shoulder some doubt yet that I cannot choose To look back to you don't know what to do yet it's all played out I was off the mark - painfully wrong this time it's through {pre-chorus} The cold of this April never ends waiting for springtime to begin Seasons always have to change and yet they feel like they're never the same {chorus} I wish I had no problems Wish I hadn't misspoke that night Wish I hadn't used up my thousand wishes I'd throw them all back down the well to bring back my lost love {verse 2} Was out and about - Trying to clear my head and the way she moved Connected me in to - and the way she moved connected me to the way I hadn't felt in years Bringing back all about you - and I wanted her too... {pre-chorus} Driving up and down these suburbs streets waiting for the rain to miss a beat seasons always have to change and yet they're always the same {chorus} I wish I had no problems Wish I hadn't misspoke that night Wish I hadn't used up my thousand wishes I'd throw them all back down the well to bring back my lost love {chorus} ************************************************************* "Say You'll Be Mine" written by Jesse David Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 (ASCAP) (C)(P) Sodacon Music 2008 I make promises - you know that I will keep All my possessions are nothing - without you I am human - I make tons of mistakes Something takes me - into a mode and I lose my way - Say you'll be mine - valentine - One is enough love for me - However it goes is fine This world of downloads- and email - will never do - I need the real thing - I want to be with you Somehow I'm locked in a dreamworld you created for me I pray that it will end - that I'll wake up with you next to me Say you'll be mine - valentine - Your love is all I could need- However it goes is fine *************************************************************
