The fifth in a "once a month or so" series of tracks from TCSO, a mellow acoustic song written by Chris in his Mount Stuart unit up in the hills in 2001 on the old Tascam four track, where he would sometimes write and record three songs in a day. Not having a job had some benefits.
Featuring fellow Fecker Paul Jolley (Piano), and Rob Lundgren (vocals) alongside Chris Szkup (guitars, bass, cajon, shaker, backing vocals).
"It's a song about being a very single goofy guy that is wondering if there is anyone from the better gender that would even notice any of these things which he thinks he has underneath the long hair and taking the mickey out of himself", says Chris.
For a long time there wasn't a title for it, until inspiration came from the Sara Bareilles song "Manhattan" from "The Blessed Unrest" (2013) - killer album by the way!
Once again, mastering on this track was done by Andy VanDette at Engineroom Audio in NYC, while artwork was done by Dan Verkys.
All of these songs will gradually be revealed as time (and finances) allow, and when complete, will form a "collection" type album which will be available on the usual digital outlets and on the store at
www.cs-songs.com however until completion, the best and fastest way to purchase the songs as they are released will be right here on bandcamp. You also have the option to throw in a little tip if you desire and pay more than the listed price for the song. This will help future songs be released faster, however this is completely optional, and you can even just listen to the songs in full for free and not buy at all - up to you!
