1999, age 19, my voice was different, maybe more “girly”, but its me on my Seagull acoustic guitar, and singing. Some of the singing notes are different. You also hear jokes too, by my friend who was recording me. (On his equipment).
There’s the same Googoo Dolls track, then my original song “Incase”, then “Lost”, played in its original way: finger-picking. The end of “Lost” is cut off on the recording though. That’s because my friend put it on CD for me years later, and we had lost part of the tape. These were never aired on The Buzz, and the guitar is recorded too loud for the singing volume. But, enjoy!

Lyrics to “Incase”:
Incase I fade away
Incase I blank out
Incase you never hear what I have to say
So you’d better listen now
Before I just decide
To get up and walk away
I must kill the pain that lingers in my head
If I can ever hope to find the way
Find the way
Why oh why
Do I have to see these things – I do
Why oh why
Should it always be
About you
Just let it go-oh
Just let yourself go oh oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
Incase you feel it too someday
Incase you dare to know
Incase you slip up
And give yourself away
Incase you let it show
So take this as a reminder of
All the things in your life
You can’t deny whats really truly there
No matter how hard you try
How hard you try
So why, tell me again
Why can’t you take me there
Why can’t you stop
Pretending you don’t see
What’s there
Just let it go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
oh- oooooooooo
oooooo – ooooo
Just let it go
Okay, okay, I’ll take a minute to think this thru
But I’ve been there many times before
And I still can’t
Do it without you
But I’ve told you all
Gave you a place in my mind
Its up to you to see it there now
I guess its easier
To stay blind
