Commentary...
When we went to record this release we had no knowledge whatsoever of how recording was done in a studio, but in one long ass 9 hour day we cranked out four songs. Our buddy 'Mando was with us in the studio the whole time and helped on the gang vocals for "El Nino." We got a pretty good deal for recording this, but the guy that recorded us, Noah, just rushed the hell out of us. It was kinda uncool, but the end product sounded good.

We got a lot of shit from our friends when they saw the thank you's in the insert. We chose to acknowledge only four people. After this little mishap we decided to remove thank you's from the CD's in the future and put up an ever-growing thank you list on our website.

We had no money when we went to make copies for this CD, and our buddy Lori came up with the awesome idea of having all of our close friends give us $25 each to make 100 copies. It worked, even the ones that were pissed off 'cause we didn't mention their name in the thank you's section of the insert dontated money to our cause. With the money we made from those initial copies we were able to make more copies. In about 10 months after we started distributing it we have moved over 1,000 copies.

Brown Paper Package

I had it all planned out
We would sit down and make everything work out
I would love you, and you would love me more
But things didn't quite happen that way
And now I'm just sitting here crying over you

One day I'll move on
But today doesn't feel like that day
And right now I don't think
I ever want to get over you now

So you got your things to do
All your life wrapped in a brown paper package
And you know I'd fuck all of that up
And you'd hate me forever
And that's the last thing I'd want
I don't want you to hate me forever

Heartbreak 101

It's August 10th and it's cold outside
And I gotta let you know
Just how I feel before you go

Away from everything
Away from me

I'm so young
I'm so dumb and stupid
It's just another lesson
In heartbreak 101

I waved good-bye
And saw her walk away
Onto a plane
Away from all she's known

Away from all she's had
Away from everything, away from me!

And now you're gone
And the only thing that's keeping me sane
Is the thought of driving a thousand miles
Just to see your face again

Today

You know what I did today?
I didn't do anything at all
I didn't go outiside
I didn't go for a ride
I didn't go to see the tide
All I did was wait for
You and you and you and you
And you a little more than someone else that I know
Because you told me you would be there
When I need you for something
When I need you!

And now I got stuck waiting
And that's all I seem to do
Besides thinking about you
About who I've loved
About who I've hated
About when I'd end this
Or when I'd break this

Why did I have to show up that one day
I should've done and stayed at home
Like my mommy told me to
I should have gone and done all my homework
But instead I went to go someone else
And then I met you
And ever since I've been trying to find a way to get away
Never to see you
To come back crying to you
I want to get away from you
Again and again and again and again!

All I did was think about you!
