I've been told on numerous occasions that a sort of unfortunate signature effect of mine is to accent words in the wrong place when singing. I think nothing illustrates it better than in this song. re-COG-nize
lyrics
I don't mean for this to come off sounding too obscure, but humor me and pretend to care.
I can't say I like being awake. I can't say I like being alive, and you could say the same.
Give everything I own to somebody who needs it more, or anyone 'cause I don't need a thing.
And don't ask where I've been, it would only hurt you more, and you've been hurt enough.
And lot's of people tell you you won't feel this way again,
And I'd give up my hands if I'd recognize the intent,
And it's hard to hold your head up to this depressing place we live in,
And it's obvious that we should not deserve our yesterdays, or tomorrows.
You may try, but you don't get it.
You never could, no you never will.
But that is not to say that I know anything at all,
But I'd like to think that I do,
And to think that you'd have a clue but it's alright that you don't.
I never did.

Garrett has a really great sense of melody; I very often find myself thinking I would have chosen the exact same chords for his songs, or am jealous I didn't think of them first. Pete Davis
Nick Steinborn, guitarist of the Wonder Years, has lots of recording experience. He also has lots of great ideas and a loop pedal. He's also a friend of mine. He'd be my first pick for dream band. Pete Davis
