"In My Room," is, of course, a Beach Boys' cover I did in 2002 for the "Making God Smile" tribute to Brian Wilson. I did all the vocals, guitars, and bass. Dale Baker did the drumming and bells and stuff. Word is that Brian Wilson heard it and dug it.

"Movie"

Recorded Live at Eddie's Attic, 9/22/06

Lately this is my favorite song to play. Written about the feeling you get when you're really into someone and you really hope she calls and she doesn't call.

Also the feeling you get in the movies when you see something so true and that feeling sinks inside of you and becomes you and you become it.

Also, Yul Brynner from "The Magnificent Seven" sneaked in there.


I went out to the movie
I got lost on my way down
Oh so dark at the movie
I don't want to be found

See the hard-bitten hero
In the West, out on his own
Riding with the sun in his eyes,
I don't want to go home

Hey that's me up there
Yeah, that's me up there
Shining

I got lost in your eyes
Waiting for you to call
I forget what they shine like
No, I can't say at all

But they call me out
When they look at me
Oh so dark at the movie
I just want to be free

Cause that's me up there
Yeah, that's me up there
Shining

Now I'm sinking in my seat
Just beneath that beam of light
That's my dim blue Damascus
I just want to be right

Cause that's me up there
that's me up there
Shining
