Well, hello everyone,
I just wrote a new song called “In Every Room,” and I thought I’d share the lyrics with you. I’m pretty excited about it, as it reflects our band’s current roots-rock incarnation more than any song to date. Musically, this one is influenced by the 2011 Foo Fighters record “Wasting Light,” Matthew Good’s 2009 album “Vancouver,” Prairie Dance Club’s 2007 self-titled debut, and The Frames’ 2007 offering “The Cost”…4 albums I’ve been listening to quite a bit over the past year (yes, I realize four albums worth of material to influence one song is excessive). Speaking of Glen Hansard (The Frames), I highly recommend the new documentary “The Swell Season.” In the past couple years, Glen has shot up to probably my number one influence – although Hayden, Damien Rice, and Mark Kozelek are right up there too. Anyway, I hope to add “In Every Room” to the new James Kasper & The Sound album we’re currently in the studio creating, and which we plan to release this fall. I won’t explain the lyrics, but I hope you can relate to them in your own way…
In Every Room
Tired of running
in the same old circles
Tired of the ruins
of the same old squares
my Irish skin wants to settle in
build a fire with you
build a house with you
have a revolution in every room
our revolution is coming soon
Tired of traveling
in the same old circus
Tired of unraveling
with the same old clowns
my Irish skin wants to settle in
build a fire with you
build a house with you
have a revolution in every room
our revolution is coming soon
Farrah, where are you
when I need a whole new circumstance
Farrah, where are you
when I need your fucked-up happy dance
Farrah, what is it with us
my Irish skin wants to settle in
build a fire with you
build a house with you
have a revolution in every room
our revolution is coming soon
