First Things First (Harvey Cedars)

You were stuck in my head like a bad song..

About Me

Upon the falling sunsets of a fading summer, one thing held true: The binding ties of friendship. Through thick and thin, betrayal and loyalty, counterfeits and the genuine, one friendship has lasted the test of ever-passing time. And through this friendship, we make our music...
--------------------
Silent Remains the Summer:
This is the newest installment of lyrical bliss from your boys of FtF. It is years in the making and still a rough mix / clean acoustic from the wonders of GarageBand (Mac). Hope you enjoy...only a taste of that to come...
--------------------
Reach Out:
Drums in this song were provided by Mikey Z.
-------------------
You Killed my Summer:
This song was originally written at about 3am one summer night, upstairs in Dave's garage. It was all improv, about a friend that betrayed us long ago. The version you are listening to has been redone since that night.
--------------------
Faded:
This song is the very first song written together by Dave and Chuck. It was written in Kricket's house, in the wee hours of the morning, and recorded on a tape recorder from the mid 90's. The tape itself remains in the Archives of our Summer Memories and the song has since been redone and added to. It awaits completion. Drums in this version were provided by Brian K.
--------------------
Self Reflection:
This song was written and recorded in one day. The vocals and lyrics were done by Doug B. with Mikey Z. on the drums. This was the first song recorded digitally by the band.
