The Story:<\/p>\n

“Gone” was the first song I wrote while spending a last weekend at my family’s place in Malibu. I was playing around with Buffalo Springfield’s “Go and Say Goodbye” and then took some of those changes, mixed them up a bit, and came up with one of the sections for this song. After a messy breakup I felt that I had to become a new person, I had to shed my skin and be born again…I had to be quite literally “gone” and this song explains that feeling. I “lyric check” both the title of, and a song from my last CD and make reference to Paul Allen’s\u00a0colossal\u00a0yacht Octopus\u00a0<\/em> that sat docked offshore. I sat and stared at that yacht for hours strumming my guitar on my balcony on that last warm weekend in October… I’m still trying to become the new me. When I first began to perform the song Angela came up with the cool violin riff you hear in the chorus…I tried to duplicate it with Danah’s cello…but something didn’t sound right (her cello can still be heard on the bridge…making it super orchestral). Luckily I was able to get Angela in the studio and she nailed the part in about 10 minutes!<\/p>\n

Lyrics<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Gone<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t look for me in familiar places-<\/div>\n
Seedy bars down on the avenue<\/div>\n
All you\u2019ll see are the drunken faces<\/div>\n
Of that long, lost wrecking crew<\/div>\n
\u2018Cause I\u2019m gone\u2026long gone<\/div>\n
I\u2019m gone\u2026gone, gone, gone<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pieces of my heart are scattered on the twisted trail<\/div>\n
That meanders through my past; it\u2019s such a tragic tale<\/div>\n
You can try to piece together these maudlin yarns of love<\/div>\n
But don\u2019t expect any help from my because I\u2019ve had enough<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t look for me in those comfort zones<\/div>\n
Strolling down some scenic trail<\/div>\n
All you\u2019ll see is the heavenly specter<\/div>\n
Of all my useless travail<\/div>\n
\u2018Cause I\u2019m gone\u2026long gone<\/div>\n
I\u2019m gone\u2026gone, gone , gone<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That longhaired hippie boy singing songs of peace & love<\/div>\n
That helpless, hopeless romantic who pinned his hopes on some mythic dove<\/div>\n
All those me\u2019s you used to know have faded into gray<\/div>\n
I don\u2019t know where I\u2019m headed and there\u2019s little left to say<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sitting at the edge of the world, I see the blue and sparkling sea<\/div>\n
And that billion-dollar yacht that\u2019s docked isn\u2019t waiting there for me<\/div>\n
I won\u2019t be back here ever again; I take one last look and sigh<\/div>\n
The only words that escape my lips are \u201cBye, bye, bye\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t look for me in familiar places-<\/div>\n
Venice Beach or Malibu<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve left behind the airs and graces<\/div>\n
And I\u2019m waiting for a brand new cue<\/div>\n
\u2018Cause I\u2019m gone\u2026long gone<\/div>\n
I\u2019m gone\u2026gone, gone , gone\u2026<\/div>\n
