Listen to the Song Far wrote for chi

[Jacob]

sounds like he's singing "At Night We Live", in which case it's track no. 7 on the new album with the same name

good song btw. very touching.

has it leaked already?

not that I know of, but someone posted the track listing in the music forums.

[skinnypuppy]

that video got me teary eyed

[Far away]

too depressing in my opinion.

this whole situation with chi is depressing.. so..
his voice still sounds great.

[defTHE1s]

Far Update, At Night We Live (New Song)
Hi,

Little check-in from Far-land. The album-we-never-expected is crawling towards completion. John just put his bass stuff down, Shaun is doing guitars and getting everything in shape, next couple weeks are vox time for me, prayers to the rock gods.

In the meantime, the San Diego show at Casbah was a great, sweaty mess. SB was strange daytime (someone needs to pass a law that no rock show shall occur before dusk) and I'm not sure about the cowbettes, but everyone at the station was incredibly nice. Wrote and recorded a song in San Diego  (lyrics below), writing to this cool track that Shaun sent. I am pretty much just literally describing a dream I had of seeing Chi. It's for him, of course, but really just feels like ruminations on losing people and how incomprehensible it is.

We're looking forward to some fun Northwest stuff, and Chico and Skeeno too(!) -- all places we have some crazy memories from. Seems like other lives, but there we were, here we are. Grateful for that.

Thanks for listening,
Jonah

AT NIGHT WE LIVE

I dreamt that you were alive, really alive
I dreamt of your eyes, I dreamt of your eyes
They weren't just open, they were engaged
Somebody said, or maybe I read
In the daytime we're dead, but
At night we live.
   
We were inside, sitting inside
Ready to play, there was the stage
She wasn't brave, you weren't away
Somebody said, where was it I read
In the daytime we're dead, but
At night we live.

We're with our families, we're with our friends
We're singing and smiling, time is a secret 
There is no car crash, there is no blood
I don't believe this, but maybe I should

In the daytime we're dead, but
At night we live.

AT NIGHT WE LIVE

There is no car crash, there is no blood
I don't believe this, but maybe I should

In the daytime we're dead, but
At night we live.

Man, this just SCREAMS of opportunism and exploitation, wich is a shame, because I know that was probably NOT the intention.

Just rubs me the wrong way, though.   

My opinion.

Your opinion is way, way, way fucked up then.

[sing blue silver]

not my kind of song but it's nice that they did that for him.

Well, I did make a point of saying that I could be misreading the whole thing.  And I probably am.

It's just weird to me whenever artists use someones misfortune for money or publicity.  If I were to
write a song for a dear friend, I probably wouldn't share it with strangers, you know what I mean? 
It would be too personal.  That's all.

Again, it's just my opinion.  I'm not Jonah.  I'm not passing judgement.  Just making a comment.
