leif and I agree that this is the best trick & the heartstrings recording.
the performance is from a live show at joe's pub in january of 2005. the engineer bounced us multi-track recordings, which we dumped into leif's computer, lightly mixed, and added synth overdubs from a cheap yamaha.
I remember recording them right there on his bed at 268 manhattan avenue.
I also remember smoking and looking out the window in that same room.

lyrics
i wrote a letter to a very old friend of mine
and then i cleaned my room
you could see me hanging out window
as the sky turns black and blue
you could see me counting cars passing by
call my mother call my father smoke a cigarette or two
and everything i try, it's like i'm running away
it's like i'm running away from you
but i still can't stop thinking about you
but i still can't stop thinking about you
maybe there's something wrong with me
because it breaks my heart every time you cross my mind
still i can't stop thinking about you
i think about you think about you think about you all the time
even when i cry,
something in my mind won't break my ties from you
and even in my dreams,
my eyes are wide open, i can't stop thinking 'bout you
but i still can't stop thinking about you
but i still can't stop thinking about you
