You Know What Happend? The Tide Came In.
Tim KochOne day I woke up to thunder. My first thought was that it was a bombing (how often do you hear thunder at 9 am?). It was coming from the south. Delmar, NY is south of my bed and my friend Dan works in Delmar. For an instant I was really scared. Then my brain woke up, and more thunder boomed, and I understood what was going on. So I woke up and wrote down my first thought of the day, and then wrote the first verse to this song later that morning. Then, that evening, I discovered that it was Semptember 11th. I thought that interesting enough of a coincidence to share. Thanks to the German American family next door who unknowingly let me and Dan record their wind chimes and creepy kid repeating "You know what happened? The tide came in." The picture is of a forest fire in Oregon that I could smell from my tent.

You Know What Happened? The Tide Came In.
i awoke to the thunder and thought it a bombing
my friend woke up early, went south to start working
we all labor in work and in life, it ain't easy
if we're happiest working and it pays off the lease i should get a new job
for the first time in weeks its been steadily raining
on the porch reading on the road my patience is lazy, and i'm being washed away
i awoke to the thunder and thought it a bombing
rolled over for someone, everyone wants a lover in autumn
i'll press all the leaves that can be held in a folder
i've got no new tricks even now that i'm older, it's a worn song
for the first time it feels like the summer is waning
i knew the road north when the leaves were changing
it was a short drive, but it's been a long time

Tim, this is awesome. In fact, you are awesome. I saw the awesome pics of the Banned on myspace. they look awesome. i wish i was you.
I just discovered this song last night and it's pretty incredible. The found sound recordings and everything else work really well together.
