Going through a box of old cassette tapes, I found this song. It was me singing and playing acoustic guitar. The song had a eerie emptiness about it. It was as true today as it was 30 years ago. I decided to build a production around the original tape. I think the Beatles, "Free As A Bird." was a real inspiration about this kind of process. With modern tech it is really possible to bend things into shape. I actually used an online , " ai separation" service to separate the acoustic guitar and vocal from the original demo. The old vocal is on throughout the new production. It is the main vocal on the , "Patiently, was it me I was waiting for" section. On another level its just another lonely train song. I like the surreal aspect of it . How someone could wander down to a train station to just hang out and realize 20 years had passed and they worked at the station. And then further to realize that they have vacated their body and are searching the travelers to try and find themselves. Uncertainty Rides For Free I've been standin At the station for a while In fact its 20 years And three days now I think I came to meet Some travelling friends Or maybe just to sit and watch the people going somewhere After three or four Depressing years The station master Asked if I would like To work there Said, "You seem to Live here anyway. Why not take the Passing time And make it pay your rent ? Patiently, Was it me That I was waiting for ? All this time, Hoping that an an answer Would arrive, In the dead of night, And free me From all of these reasons. I Got myself a room Above the store Bought myself a deadbolt To secure the door I sit alone at night And count my pay Wonder if I should Have bought a Ticket for the train Patiently, Was it me That I was waiting for ? All this time Hoping that an an answer Would arrive In the dead of night And free me From all of these reasons Uncertainty rides for free With a Guy like me Uncertainty rides for free But I'm not gonna Live like this anymore No I'm not gonna Live like this anymore No I'm not gonna Live like this anymore I see about a thousand Fares a day Happy people running To be on their way I stare into their Eyes before they go Searching every heart For something No one seems to know Patiently, Was it me That I was waiting for ? All this time Hoping that an an answer Would arrive In the dead of night And free me From all of these reasons Uncertainty rides for free With a Guy like me Uncertainty rides for free But I'm not gonna Live like this anymore No I'm not gonna Live like this anymore No I'm not gonna Live like this anymore ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FsZXtaqSSc

Live at Ghengis Cohen on Fairfax in LA. It's Abraham Cloud with Rory Stalwick doing the classic acoustic theme of the 90's , "Another Successful Breakfast." I wake up in a panic every morning, like there was something I forgot to do . Something so important I start shaking. It takes a lot of coffee to calm me down I'm living in an old abandoned drug store. Probably couldn't compete with the CIA I should've listened to Jim Morrisson. Only lawyers survive the heat in LA another smoke, another drink, another dirty magazine another slow suicide attempted another successful breakfast There's someone laying in my doorway. They appear to be breathing but who really cares. Summer sun can't cut the fog of air polution. We're all being cooked for breakfast today. another smoke, another drink, another dirty magazine another slow suicide attempted another successful breakfast A dollar-thirty-nine, gets me three eggs. potatoes and time, Time to figure out a place to stay, A quarter buys a paper. New statistics on tne Homeless. There's not a whole lot left to say. another smoke, another drink, another dirty magazine another slow suicide attempted another successful breakfast ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz7jJ7GluV4
