“Put A Little Soul”
“Duped” The name of our album. But also the name of a song that didn’t end up making the album. Whenever we record something that we intend on selling and really pushing to the public we like to make a demo of it first. This way we work through the recording of the song at least once and can sit back and take it in with open ears and still hands. So I thought I would show the demo of the album’s title track…that umm…didn’t actually make the album. This was made on a Macbook using GB.

A song from “Duped” that stands out from what we usually do.
You told most everybody
Your truth didn’t let me be
I slipped into a darkness
that longed to hold on me
It came in by the hour
it wouldn’t leave for weeks
You spoke of groves and gardens
you wouldn’t share with me
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
And I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
I’m tired of running backwards
in lines that we complete
I’m starved for good intentions
that make it back to me
The past presents the future
that time will never tell
I arrived at the moment
a penny short at a wishing well
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
And I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
You came in by the hour
you wouldn’t leave for weeks
you spoke of groves and gardens
you wouldn’t share with me
I’m tired of running backwards
in lines that we complete
I’m starved for good intentions
that make it back to me
The past presents the future
that time will never tell
I arrived at the moment
a penny short at a wishing well
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
