Not So Fast 02:03
Not So Fast By: Jason M. Renslow I wish it was warmer and not so damn late Then who really knows what I would go and do Instead I'm all sleepy and drained from the day And, I'm stuck wishin' I had more time with you So, you told me, you better slow down not so fast Let's make this moment last a little bit longer not so fast, not so fast I don't want us to be like this I think it's wrong No, not so tonight, I'm all out of gas This was a blast, but now I just want a movie The last two times we conversed about this We both ended up mad so this is not so new to me

The Loneliest Girl By: Jason M. Renslow The Loneliest Girl, how did you get so sad? I would fall in love with you if you wanted me to Instead you will sit at home, wishing you weren't so alone You tell me I don't have a clue of how it feels to be blue The loneliest girl, the loneliest girl I know Amongst your treasures in those piles, the clock it ticks the hours away staring up at the ceiling. try to ignore the feelings of tears just below the eyes, it's the same thing every day So, I play this song And, I will think of you That one lonely girl with the loneliness you choose A few miles away on a stool in a bar or working in a yard or playing a guitar I'll never know the places you won't let me go it's really not that far or all that hard to see The loneliest girl lonely on a forever gathering up your senses to give the bull**** one more try Locked in on the goals you set to deviate would be uncouth Write down in your daily notes your swearings and your never-dos

A Few Moments With Robert Blake (Not the Actor) or Periphery By: Jason M. Renslow Relaxing by the fire conversation and song ensue One man he is bold, another he's a bore A woman she is glad, but had enough for today One man's a father, the child she is sad One man is quiet, his face I can not read I can live out among the periphery I can see what it is I see Viewing the scene from the periphery How to change what it is that disappoints me (How to change what creates love in me) (How to change what it is that satisfies me) Where can I find Aberdeen? I'll ask the man that's bold Where should I go? What should I do? If I had the guts you know, I'd play him a song Instead he can sing, sing on about the rain We'll call this moment Isabella, Isabella it's declared

Beasty, Beastie, Beastee (Bee Sting) By: Jason M. Renslow I can see you somewhere out there sleepy easing off the edge of the bed easy sleeping, easy sleeping What I would do to do you instead It's pretty easy to get into it you told me about it but, I didn't believe you pretty easy and cheesy oh, never again am I the "falling for you" So, release me from the ground beneath me In the shower in the back of your head baby, baby what would you give to trade me? All the tools you need are out in the shed
5.
Luck Is A One Trick Pony By: Jason M. Renslow Don't you bow to any man But, sometimes obey the fear in your heart Because luck is a one trick pony And, I don't see what good it would do If that luck were to run out too soon Grisled down and waiting on a porch Worn out from the pouring rain Time is a funny thing, looking back Burying all your burdens in the past Piece together all those days gone come and gone And, please make sure those letters get the fire Praise me in all the ways you think I did right Nobody will know the difference right or wrong And, don't forget my people left out east Make sure they have candy at Christmas time when his trick is done you know it's done oh, that pony

An Untitled Song About A Girl By: Jason M. Renslow Lift the fog of drugs and alcohol Everything looks different in the daylight Drive that short stretch through La Pine You wanna love me, but not last night Passing by all what you're looking at out the window It's no big deal, but I wonder sometimes Gray skies and woods for a hundred miles What could it be that's on your mind Now I wanna say to you... While I'm alive I will be the one To love you more than anybody In the whole wide world Oh, you lovely girl Rolling fog across so many baseball fields You can't seem to fall for me, no reason why Talk to me of a hundred wounds never healed Still I'll be the one on which you can rely And, I'm gonna say to you...

Notes 02:06
Notes By: Jason M. Renslow Coffee shops don't quite do you justice But this place will do tonight if that's okay Everybody gets up and down, they come and go But you've got a glow and I can't look away Somehow you've got me taking notes I'm hangin' on to every word you say I'm takin' notes so I won't forget What it feels like to be here with you today The blur, the fade in the periphery All those places, faces, all those lives All those cups, desserts, and coffee downed The shape of your face is all I can see tonight A double take of tired got me fading out You're a-okay if you had any doubt All of this seems to be the right amount I mean you're a-okay, please have no doubts

Lookin' 01:36
Lookin' By: Jason M. Renslow I'm not lookin' for anybody else I'm not lookin' for you to change yourself I'm just searchin' for a little brighter day Wakin' up in the morning and know everything'll be okay For the good times to outweigh the bad For the happy times to overcome the sad I'm not lookin' for somebody new Nobody in this world could ever replace you I'm just searchin' for a place to feel home A place to come on back to wherever it is I roam
9.
Heartbreaking Kind By: Jason M. Renslow How many songs can I write of the heartbreaking kind? It's time to get in line because it's heartbreakin' time I look in the mirror and I see just a simple dude Why do I do what I do to get this heartbreak from you? So, of all of the women That will come and then go From this life that I'm livin' Well, you can stand out for sure 'cause of all of those women I can't think of a time when I've known one more driven To become just the heartbreakin' kind How many beers do I drink? While I walk to the brink My lonely head on a pillow when I lay down to think So, I'll toss and I'll turn while I hope and I yearn That someday you'll be there and I won't be feelin' so burned

Age 33 03:32
Age 33 By: Jason M. Renslow Straighten up your collar, straighten up your hair give a glance to the wall clock, make sure you got bus fare Change in your pocket, about to walk out the door When the telephone's ringin', an old voice from before Sittin' down at the diner, ain't no big deal Appreciate the decor, it's got that 70's feel The eggs come out perfect, hash browns on the side See the place where she'd sit, it was a hell-of-a ride And when the sun goes down tonight It's not like she will give a damn And, no matter how it is you fight In the end you're still just a man And all those big old problems of the world As much as they seem to get in the way They'll never mean as much as that girl The one that seems to have got away Summer rolls into town the way it always does Driving down old country roads kickin' up dust Some things seem to last forever, some will fade away Torn picture on the dashboard, this place'll never be the same

Heart Busted Interstate (IHB) By: Jason M. Renslow She likes to pour her beer in two-liter bottles Buys cards and forgets to send 'em, but she's trying to be more thoughtful I drink instant coffee, I smoke American tobacco Someday I will quit this, but it gets me where I go She'll tell me that she's not the type who usually stops for hikers She looks like she's the type who usually goes for bikers For some reason she stopped for me, I can always wonder what she did see I stepped up into that Chevy truck, the Bob Seger playing quietly She says it's hard to believe in the human population When we consider our own situations And when you ride along that endless interstate It's hard not to wonder if you believe in fate And the ghosts of our pasts, well they're haunting the every mile I see the glow of hope in her eyes meanwhile In this broken, busted, burned out and beaten world Somewhere down in Tennessee she left a broken heart The expectations of that man meant they had to live apart She put out the story as the miles gone and chipped away And we'd share rooms in cheap motels when it came to the end of the day All I mostly did was listen on stools in truck stop diners Sometimes she'd stop and apologize, but I'd say that I didn't mind her By the time we got to San Fran I was used to her on my arm But, she left and said she never keeps in touch 'cause then the road would lose it's charm Oh, it's hard to believe in the human population When you consider your own situation But when you ride along on that endless interstate It's hard not to wonder if you believe in fate And the ghosts of my past, well they're haunting the every mile I remember the glow of hope in her eyes meanwhile In this broken, busted, burned out and beaten world

Damn You California By: Jason M. Renslow I've been sitting here in stoned oblivion Watching Flight of the Conchords season two All my mind wants to do Is keep on wandering on over to you I've been wandering just about every place I go Then here you come, the lady I gotta know Pretty thing, why don't you take me home? Are we listening? Let's head down to the store So, damn you California Tonight I just wanna embrace you And tell you, I love you, oh... Push the couch up close to the computer screen You slice up the bread, I'll slice up the cheese Pillows and blankets, yes I think we'll do just fine It's not forever, but tonight you're mine So, damn you California Tonight I just wanna erase you And tell you, I think we're through

about

I recorded all these tracks in one-take format, in my house, with a digital recorder... just me, my guitar, and my song book. I like the natural reverb that different rooms can provide. Every song has at least a bit of truth, some more than others.
