The lyric project - Air Canada sessions - So Sure

And now we fast forward to 2004...The Air Canada sessions have begun. I am living in West Seattle, in the home of Rod Moody (of Sub Pop 200 Swallow and 17,014 other bands fame) and his wife, the artist Tina Anderson. They were on a two-year adventure on the US east coast, and I was in need of a place to live, and it all worked out swimmingly. I didn't have much to my name at this point - a few furnishings, a dog and a cat, but I had love in my life again, a little bit of cash and an itch to make music again, so I picked up a ProTools Digi 002 rack system, mated it with a Mackie mixer and a handful of good microphones and decided to give things a go again.

The first song out the gate was a solid rocker that essentially marked my rebirth. I love this tune and the recording of it. When I was in doubt of everything about myself, my Love was so sure of me.

So Sure

I'm not alone in my heretic bones
With my past full of sin
If you knew where I'd been
You'd all hate me
But someone loves me

I'm not asleep on my swim in the deep
Left my freedom ashore
If you knew anymore
You'd all hate me
But someone loves me

Someone loves me
Someone loves me
Someone loves me
And when I'm in doubt
She's so sure
She's so sure

I was adrift in my walk through the mist
With the pain I have caused
If you knew all the loss
You'd all hate me
But someone loves me

I was in doubt, but I figured it out
I'll endure all the pain
I'll put down all the shame
You can hate me
Cos' someone loves me

Someone loves me
Someone loves me
Someone needs me
She wont leave me
She calls me "baby"
Her love has saved me
Someone loves me
And when I'm in doubt
She's so sure
She's so sure
