LA reminiscin

Hey everyone I'm quickly back
Just finished editing a track
For "The Years" upcoming record treat
Its called "Broken Heart" and its not sad, but bittersweet

And after the night's final listen
"Broken Heart" got me reminiscin'..

About 11 months ago today
I was spending a week in warm LA.
I flew in from New York on Super Bowl sunday
Got picked up at LAX by my friend Andrew Crowley
Made a quick stop at his home, that's in Marina Del Rey
Went to Trader Joe's, got some supplies then made our way
Up to watch the game at the plush home of soul star Macy Gray

Damn that was alot of fun
I'm still amped that the Giants won
I ate alot and drank a ton
Corona, Rum and Ketel One

Went back that night to the Standard downtown
And fully clothed, still drunk I laid myself down
Turned on the TV and fell fast asleep
To highlights of the Patriots' failed sweep

That week was spent preparing for
One special concert, wish there could have been more
The Brand New Heavies were the centerpiece of the night
Then 3 other artists sang with us and damn they got it right
Eric Roberson, Vikter Duplaix and Caron Wheeler too
Made for a great concert and one very Happy Jew (actch maybe two)

Anyway, I love LA, but not in that star-worship way.

I think there are alot of people being mad creative there
And mountain ranges and big breasts are not bad things at which to stare
That being said, about New York I aint complainin
After all its January 7 and its not snowing its just rainin
Now that is all your going to get tonite from this here head
I'm off to bed
