Snow is pounding my street today
Wind has blown my Christman lights away
I Want Everything You've Got
I Want Everything You've Got
You're far away, Having fun
In the warm California sun
I Want Everything You've Got
I Want Everything You've Got
When I meant to say I love you
That was the time you went away
Now I say the quiet part out loud
But these four walls can't ever help me out
Everything thing here is out of whack
i don't suppose you're ever coming back
I Want Everything You've Got
I Want Everything You've Got
I Want Everything You've Got
You are Everything I'm Not

About "I Want Everything You've Got"
Wrote this on Feb3, the 63rd anniversary of Buddy Holly's plane crash. It reminded me of the third RPM Challenge when I did Winter Trance Party in 2011 and kept the house at a frosty 55 degrees when it was time to record,
It was a particularly cold day in Phoenix, around 38 degrees in the morning and I was doing a 20-minute walk to my car mechanic when I wrote this one. I was imagining the Allerton Avenue guy in the middle of a blizzard where his lonely Christmas lights got blown away and he's missing someone in sunny California. Here being stuck in 3D on Allerton Avenue isn't turning out so well and this is his blue period, His happiness for someone else's good fortune ebbs a bit here, There's an indication he didn't tell the love interest of the song he loves her and now the Beach Boys have her in their grasp.
During this recording I made a cool discovery, if you play the bass with a bottleneck slide on your finger and play the bass, the amount of dampening and sliding makes it sound like a fretless upright bass. And you're welcome.
