Perfect little pictures of how it used to be before the complicated truth revealed itself to see the people that you burned though you tried to treat them right Sometimes you can't control the things that keep you up at night. Yeah, at least you tried to fight off all the demons as they stumbled through your door at four a.m. and before long they're passed out on the floor but somewhere deep inside you know things will be alright the ghosts may linger for a while but vanish come the light Yeah, at least you tried The animals don't know what you're going through but they know enough to keep on going All the animals are happy You should try to be happy Yeah, at least you tried

Funny how this lingers like a ghost hanging around in someone else's clothes It wasn't me you're meant to haunt but your company means a lot and I know what's up I know We could talk about the sun in relation to everyone If you remember this by dawn well, we'll deal with that when it comes and I know what's up I know I've seen this picture before and I know how it all ends and if you try real hard I bet you'll make it wherever you're going

First time out of the box It's the first time for me as well and the waiting has been hell Plug you into the wall Watching the meters rise I can't help but rise myself I am not ashamed 'cause love is hard to find There may be millions more but none as well designed as you you're one of a kind Anticipation builds until the moment arrives, power on and you come to life So this is finally it all the connections fit, I can't describe... but I guess that that's all right and I am not ashamed 'cause love is hard to find There may be millions more but none as well designed as you you're one of a kind

about

Written and recorded by RMB.

At Least You Tried, Ghost Song, and One Of A Kind (formerly known as Flexing My Love Droid courtesy of Tom Holmes) were songs I had been playing with my band Tuna Fish Discrepancy. As I was booking more solo gigs, I wanted to play around with electronic sets and perform the material in a style closer to the way I originally wrote and demoed it.

I put together some sets in Ableton, dusted off my MicroKorg and played some shows. And it was super fun. I sat on the instrumentals for a little while before it occurred to me that I had almost finished a record - I just needed to lay down some vocals.

I couldn't let it be that simple, of course; I reworked some songs, saved others for later, and threw in some instrumentals that needed a place to live.

So here it is. Thanks to Jamie for singing along with me on these (in the studio and out in the world) and thanks to Tuna Fish Discrepancy for exploring these songs with me. I look forward to playing these songs with y'all again!
