about
Great Big Sea has a "karaoke video" contest; they released instrument tracks from three songs and said "get creative." My partner Anna suggested we enter; I recorded an extra instrumental track, wrote extra lyrics (the ones I sing over the bridge) and 12 tracks of vocals, mostly because I don't know when to stop.

lyrics
You never said the things you meant
You never earned the hopes you spent
You never never grew the dreams you kept
You never found the best of me
I never thought I'd play guitar
I never thought I'd be a star
I never knew we'd run so far
away from all we'd hoped to be
You never earned the hopes you spent
You never never grew the dreams you kept
You never found the best of me
I never thought I'd play guitar
I never thought I'd be a star
I never knew we'd run so far
away from all we'd hoped to be

Crime and the Forces of Evil Seattle
We are one bunch of seriously pissed-off elves, writing the songs of the supervillains. Enjoy our rage-driven acoustic elfmetal, or our GeoIP-driven heat ray. It's up to you.
