It’s songs like this that make me homesick for NYC. I’m sitting here in a hotel room in Tampa and just finished recording vox for one of our songs and I’ve got lippy’s song on repeat and it’s making me a little bit homesick for a million different things and places, but mostly Brooklyn. Matt posted his favorite songs of 2009 (including this original) over on his site.

I don’t know how he does it every time, handing these songs in with spot-on instrumentation and quiet ease, but he does it. The piano is a nice touch; it’s just a calm and little intimate contrast to the original. Always on his game! Maybe it’s ’cause he’s a new dad, too; these fathers are just sharpening their skills so they can teach their sons something!

Oh, I know what it is: The sound of the pick scraping on the guitar and hearing the room and imagining the skeleton trees of winter outside the window of Matt’s house deep in the heart of Brookyn. I’ve never been there or looked out his window, so I guess i’m really imagining the trees outside our own window at our old place in BK.

Aw, fuck.

There’s no leaving New York.
