about

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!

lyrics

Come to me when you need love (x3)
Cause I need love
To pull me through

Come to me when you're ready (x3)
Cause I'm ready
To be there for you

A dedication for
Emotions out they pour
A singing of this song for you
Unfortunately, won't show yourself to me
Just imaginary

Come to me

Come to me when you need trust (x3)
Cause I do trust
I look for the good

Come to me when you feel pain (x3)
Cause I've felt pain
Your strength I'll help regain

If you're near or far
No matter where we are
I know just what I wanna do
If you stay or if I do
One thing I'll always know
One ain't got nothing on one half of two

Come to me

It's potential you would see
If you showed yourself to me
Take a step towards my life
Relieve me from
Come near me and
Please hear me when I say
I'm ready to begin our life
