She Wears My Shadow

You can’t escape your heritage baby — it’s in your DNA.
This song is rather personal reaching into some of my cellular ideas about identity. I don’t think my skill set has evolved to really get the mix I hear in my head. (In the back of my mind were “The Gift” by the Velvet Underground and Patti Smith.) I could have messed with levels and panning and whatnot ad infinitum but there are other songs lurking… .(But as always, helpful production hints are always welcome — like how can I minimize the hiss sound from Haskel’s amp?) Special thanks to Audiotechnica for generously sharing great source material. His deep bass groove inspired the entire feel of this song. And of course, Haskel made it happen for me with his fine guitar stylin’s. Stems uploaded soon (gotta bounce them first). SHE WEARS MY SHADOW everyday She breaks my heart cuz she just wants to go everyday she breaks my heart I just want to keep her close everyday she breaks my heart as I watch her go I love her so she’s getting ready to launch but her feet are heavy she keeps forgetting promises she made despite her dreams she questions if she’s ready unless that reticence is really coming from me she’ll sing on the street but she won’t sing for us though I thought I understood her more than anybody else Understanding or projection or just maternal expectation I recognize her harmony and her timing in the pictures sometimes you can’t even tell us apart She grabs my shadow from the closet puts it on pausing by the mirror as she gets ready to leave what she doesn’t know when she looks at her reflection is that she is wearing my history everyday she breaks my heart I’ve given her my blessing I’ve given her my trust I’ve given her my gold and I’ve given her my sleep I’ve given her my faith I’ve given her the clothes I wore when I was seventeen everyday she breaks my heart she really wants to go I just want to keep her close

Editorial pickInvoking Patti Smith and the Velvet Underground, SackJo22 bares her soul with this powerful, passionate rock & roll. Haskel (HEJ31) wails with emotion on the guitar and Audiotechnica pushes the track with a massive bass line. Yes. Kara Square
