THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
The words came first, along with what I call a rudimentary melody.
A friend of Ed's saw my ad for a musician and contacted me. I brought a whole slew of songs to our meeting. Tank Almost Empty was one of the pieces that appealed to him.
We worked on a cuple of variations - my singing it with my less than amazing singing voice, and my speaking it with Ed's guitar carrying the melody.
Then - a technical glitch. All our hard work was erased.
What you hear here is a quick re-recording of the spoken version. I have a song version as well. again something quickly re-recorded - I like parts, and maybe I will put it up, but only after there's a better version.
Anyway, time passed, years passed. Other projects. Life flowing very quickly.
Now I've dusted off this version for the web.
Now there's also Mark, for sound production and support.
My hope: that within a couple of months, there will be another recording, of both the spoken word version, and the song version.
The rough draft will be kept.
Re: the tank is almost empty. Right now, the tank seems to be filling a bt.

Potential Breakup Lyrics. Tank Almost Empty.
Elsa.
A dozen years ago, I began to wake up
with word pieces - words music,
spoken word, songs - in my head.
Escape velocity. Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty. Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
