Track 3: See the Day

In October of 2006 (this was the first song I wrote for the album), I entered a poetry contest for some website because I was trying to get tickets to see the Shins. I didn't think much of the poem, but two weeks later I get a letter saying that I won the contest, and that my poem was going to be featured in a poetry book that's published throughout the country. My first reaction was "holy shit", haha. Anyways, since people liked the poem, I thought "what the hell" and so I tried putting it to music, and sure enough, I got something.
Recording didn't ensuit for months to follow, a demo version was recorded for our EP in April of 2007. And finally the album version was recorded in April of 2008. The song features a wah wah solo in the break that I'm extremely proud of. And at the end of the song, it features a finger picking riff I wrote originally for another song.

Lyrics to See the Day:

Go away
Go away
There’s lots of things
To see today

Feel the breeze
Feel the breeze
There’s so many things
To get me on my knees

Fly on higher
Fly on higher
Light cannot breach
The highest flyer

Fly on higher
Fly on higher
Light cannot breach
The highest flyer

Go away
Go away
I need to get up
And see the day
