The Skinny:
I had the pleasure of producing Jake Coco this August. He was so effortless and flowing in the way he built his tracks I learned a lot from watching this youngster. So this song is a result of the Coco flow. It doesn’t sound anything like him because he’s got a soaring tenor voice that’s a joy to listen to. It just hit me but after watching Jake work I was left wanting to do something of my own that wasn’t hard labor. I guess when I heard about Jonathan Coulton’s Thing A Week I was primed for a project. Voila! And thusly was borne Wednesday’s Song : – )It’s Already StartedI couldn’t let go
I can’t seem to hold on
The light turned green
Six or seven times the horns are blowing
I say to myself
Things are going to pick up real soon
I say to myself
Tomorrow’s gonna bring an end to this gloom

It’s already started
The game is in play
It’s already started
Tomorrow’s been set by yesterday

I try to break free
I keep going in circles
Each time around
I see the ways I misinterpret
I cast the first die
Set this train in motion in the rain
I look for the blame because I don’t
Want to hear my own name

Sometimes I get crazy
Sometimes I want to break everything I own
Sometimes I’ve got to fake my way
Just to make it through an ordinary day

It’s already started
The game is in play
It’s already started
Tomorrow’s been set by yesterday
