about

The first four tracks on MMB were produced by Scott Baggett, aka Angus Wahoo. Scott was interested in I was doing and expressed interest in recording me, but he wanted me to be hands-off, as he did a Phil Spector (without the guns, sketchiness, and wall of sound). I said, sure. And, it was a pleasure, because he did a great job, with adding his unique imprint without taking away from my "thing." It was also cool, because I didn't have to do all the thinking on the arrangements. Anyways, "Choices" is one of those four (DH).

lyrics

Choices

I was sleeping on a porch painted yellow green and blue
Dreaming of a lover that I once knew
Choices - pounding on my head

There were stains on the curtain, rain on the street
She had Indian blood, she was warm and sweet
Choices - pounding on my head

Are they made by me or the Lord above
Do I love to fall or do I fall in love?

I could’ve held on tight, but I dropped the ball
She probably don’t believe I ever loved her at all
But I did
With everything I had

Are they made by me...

I was sleeping on a porch painted yellow green and blue
Dreaming of a lover, was she dreaming of me too?
Choices - pounding on my head

Are they made by me...
