the sound is comming from the atic. i can't figure out what it is. it's not science, it's art, goddamnit! nothing has to make sense.

i don't think of music in terms of notes or chords. i think in terms of noise and sound. everything is part of the art.

Story behind the song

i wrote the lyrics all at once. inspiration at a coffee shop.

Lyrics

he is trying to find himself
down darkened alleyways
under rusty overhangs
between broken window frames
he is trying to find himself
in an old familiar face
that has been obscured by the somewhat absurd
and is slightly out of reach
he is trying to find himself
and striving to come through
the static and squeal of the radio
we'll immitate something new
he is trying to find himself
shopping for second hand clothes
he is walking alone with an old trombone
and playing a stupid tune
and while he is trying to find himself
on the cover of a magazine
like a nameless machine with a lonely routine
looking for something he's never seen

and when he dies his tombstone will read
he had a beautiful wife
nevermind his name and nevermind his life
he found himself to be a great big lie
