Underground

about

I was concerned that too many of the songs on this album were sounding like Travis Morrison compositions as I was writing them. As the recordings progressed, the songs started sounding less and less that way. I think his influence is most obvious on this song, and "To Himself".

lyrics

Underground
(Case)

No home in the air
No home in the water
Dig deep in the ground
and build a tunnel

Life life in a cave
Cold skin, cold shoulders
And cover the entrance
with a boulder

On the surface
I am nervous
Heading underground

Some conveniences
I know I'll miss
But, I've lived without them before

Slowly, but surely
Paint on the walls for stories
And build a fire for warmth

On the surface
I am nervous
Heading underground

Doing what I want
I'd have to learn to hunt
With sharpened tips
all made to stab

Using stones and sticks
in the place of bricks
Making the most of what I have

On the surface
I am nervous
Heading underground

Gonna dig
in the dirt
I'm retreating
Heading down
get to work
while I'm breathing
Everything
is berserk
and it's seeming
to get worse
it's a curse
and I'm leaving
(Repeat once)

(Solo)

On the surface
I am nervous
Heading underground

Gonna dig
in the dirt
I'm retreating
Heading down
get to work
while I'm breathing
Everything
is berserk
and it's seeming
to get worse
it's a curse
and I'm leaving
What you'll see
or will need
Never found out
As for me
I will be
underground now

about

Glenn Case Spokane, Washington

I write music.

I listen to music.

I genuinely just love music.

I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".

I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.

Thank you.
