Name: The Bus Stop (demo)
Duration: P00H01M32S
Description: I love this song. I have no idea where it came from, but I love it. The melody came to me very quickly and the lyrics took a little (okay a lot) longer, but after having not written anything in so long it is more than I could’ve hoped for as a songwriter. I do hope you enjoy it, and incidentally, if you do I think you’ll love the final recording.

lyrics

we held hands
through the crowd
on the way
to the restrooms

we sat close
at the show
arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder

later at the bus stop
you reached for my glasses
and gave me the blurriest smile
i've seen in a while

Iowa Anvil

The Graze is easily my favorite band in Seattle. Louis O'Callahan's writing style is right up my alley, it doesn't do him justice to say but he could be Kurt Cobain and Jeff Mangum's bastard child. The Way It Is
