   Hey there Martin, thanks for the upload.

   Had a question though… could you update your Lyrics section to reflect all of the latest lyrics you've posted within the last month? It makes it kind of hard to find some of the lyrics going through all of the blog posts. Thanks!

   I agree about the lyrics. I'm away without highspeed and can't get the songs, so I'm dying to hear or at least read something! Wish I could help more to get things updated. Thanks for all you do.

   Well it took forever to download this, but worth it. Great song (although gosh Matt, you hard ass, I could find more than this to listen to in the new stuff and the old)! I'll get these started, I love how they're evolving. But there's a lot I can't understand–help Ally!

   What has become of us
   That keeps me awake at night
   An avalanche rolling on us
   Maybe we should go dancing tonight
   Gather round everything
   Music take us away
   Even if we never heard the song before

   Shotgun
   You put it in your mouth
   Try to blame me for
   Your life heading south
   Well I told you I don't hang on
   To anyone that long baby

   (Go on?) (sit down?) ah that hunger what's it for
   Where does ______
   I know

   What has become of us
   Keeps me awake at night now
   The avalanche is ______
   Maybe we should jut go dancing
   Forget about everything
   The music (stole away?)
   Until everything's ok

   Shotgun
   We're lovers in (the mouth so?/a monsoon?)
   We'll see the whole ______ right
   What's that what's that

   I threw myself a _______
   Just one more ______

   What has become of us
   I can't recognize
   Avalanche down on us
   Maybe we should go dance

   I think I like the debut shotgun more. The new version just sounds strange to me.

   I'm the hard ass? Jeesh…you're picky Darla However, with the new verse, bridge and chorus. This song now has no continuinity. I mean it's georgeous writing, and good lyricism from Dave, but it's two different songs…it starts about a love song, then suicide…unless the shotgun is not meant as a shotgun but a metaphor for the ending of a relationship..I dunno. Too deep for a hangover…

   What has become of us
   That keeps me awake at night
   An avalanche rolling on us
   Maybe we should go dancing in the night
   Gather around everything
   The music take us away
   Even if we never heard the song before

   Shotgun
   You put it in your mouth
   Try to blame me
   For your life heading south
   Well
   I told you I don't hang on
   To anyone that long baby

   Go on
   So now
   Ah, that hunger what's it for?
   Where does become of one there
   I know

   What has become of us
   Keeps me awake at night now
   The avalanche is now
   Maybe we should just go dancin'
   Forget about everything
   The music – store away
   Until everything's ok

   Shotgun
   We're lovers in a mouth soon?
   We'll see the whole last night away there
   Right
   What's that?
   What's that?
   Ah, we play

   I threw myself a bone
   Just one more night away

   What has become of us
   I can't recognize
   Avalanche down on us
   Maybe we should go dance
