She Stood Alone On Her Balcony...

Goo Goo Dolls - American Girl

Yes, this is indeed a Tom Petty cover. I love the original, but I'm a fan of this one too. But that may just be because I have an unhealthy obsession with the Goo Goo Dolls.


So my band came back from it's state of temporary hiatus and practiced tonight. It was the first time in months and months. It was magical. You see, the problem is that we all go to different colleges, thus making it more difficult for us to get together.

But we played some new songs that we've each been writing on our own, and then we played some of our old stuff. The only problem with that is that for a couple songs, we couldn't figure out how they went anymore, and we had to go back to our CD and listen to it to figure out how to play them again. Embarrassing. But what can you do? We had too many new songs to worry about past ones! We live in the now!

But it was magical to get together again. We only got distracted playing Guitar Hero: World Tour a few times. I ended up having to play bass, as there's no keyboard in the game. But luckily we don't have a bassist, so it worked out for the best. And in case you're wondering why we don't have a bassist...I don't know. We run through them like nobody's business. At last count, I believe we've had 93845 in the past four years, and none of them stick. So we've decided we don't need one.

Besides, all the good bands don't have bassists right? I mean, the Beatles...shit, Paul. Well, the Who? Oh wait, John. Well what about Led Zeppelin! Nope, nevermind. John Paul. Bruce Springsteen has Garry, Queen had John, Tilly and the Wall has Kianna, the Decemberists have Nate...DAMMIT! Apparently we need a bassist!

Anyone play?
