about

i worked very hard on ‘The Fun Rises, The Fun Sets.’ the album where the next song n the countdown comes from. it's toll took the last breath of a few close relationships. sometimes i listen to the record and i am astonished at how good it is. i forget what i gave to it. the #19 song n the countdown comes on the 19th day of Feb. 'She Stays With Me' is really just a punk/funk workout. the punk is n the delivery of the vocal - it has a Richard Hell-esque vibe; while the rumbling rhythm churns. i just dig it. there's testosterone all over it - but it is typical manliness, in that it is n need of babying; this comes out n the lyric. i pulled the beat out of a Maschine, then played a single guitar phrase thru a Maxon delay pedal. i added bass from a Mustang, and virtual synths. i thot a lot of @bilalmusic while i was singn the background vocals in the final chorus; not bcuz they sound like him - but i wanted them to be representative of his mastery & attitude. i was taught background vocal layering by two of the best, ever, @rahsaanpatterson and @dionnefarris *i’m still absorbing the ingenious nuance of what they do.

lyrics

She Stays With Me

She’s hard to impress
I never think about the rest
They gave me what I wanted
And I poked out my chest

But, she comes to mind (she comes)
So frequently (because)
She’s always dancing…
Dancin’ on the tip of my tongue

(chorus)
She stays with me
My Momma say I need to let her roam
So many, many who all say yes
She say no
She stays with me
Sunk her teeth in deep my memory foam
So many, many who gave their best
She’s the one I remember the most

‘Cause she’s the one who got away
And flaunts it in my face
It’s hard to shake it off. It’s hard to take a loss
It’s a nasty after-taste
