about

ZeCoop: I have always loved Carley's voice/songs and when she joined the 4-track challenge this year, I was really excited to hear what she came up with. I also thought it would be great to do an actual song collaboration. This was the second song to find its way out of my newly repaired Silvertone 6 string (hooray for wood glue!), and it instantly made me think of Carley's voice. I could not be happier with what she came up with. What a natural and beautiful melody that absolutely completes the song perfectly. Thank you Carley - I really loved writing this with you! :)

Carley: I was honored when ZeCoop approached me with something in mind for a collab. I took one listen and loved it; instantly I was at my favorite local coffee shop on a typical winter day in Portland, looking out the big picture window. The lyrics came quickly and I sent them off— totally surprised to listen back and find that I had placed the track a beat behind where I intended it to be. But it mostly worked! (Not gonna lie, probably 40% of my FAWM studio experience is stuff like that, things I didn’t think of on my own but they happen accidentally and it turns out so much better than what I had planned) Really happy with how this one turned out. Thank you Z, it was a treat!

**interesting quirk about collaborating over the internet is that 'interesting' things can happen in either the way people hear a song, or the way they record a song. In this case, I put the vocal file in and *loved* it, but when Carley heard my mix, she let me know that for some reason her file put her vocal one beat later than she recorded it. It worked wonderfully in the verses (and ok in the chorus). After discussing, we ended up using a mix of the two timings. Hooray for happy accidents!! :)

lyrics

It’s a wild and windy day
At the neighborhood café
Trees nearly blowing sideways
Cloudy towers in the sky
All grey and blue and white
It’s another one of these days

But the sun is out there somewhere
Someday soon it’s gonna shine

Here comes another day
Brace for another hurricane
The chaos is never-ending
And everybody that you meet
Is just this side of a scream
Brave faces all pretending

But the sun is out there somewhere
Someday soon it’s gonna shine
I know it doesn’t always seem so
But it’s gonna be just fine

Then I see you in the window
And you’re headed here to me
If there was anywhere I had to go
There’s nowhere I’d rather be

Have a coffee, watch the rain
As it washes down the drain
It could rain like this forever
But we’ve adapted well
Zip up your outer shell
And we’ll walk home together

Because the sun is out there somewhere
Someday soon it’s gonna shine
I know it doesn’t always seem so
But it’s gonna be just fine

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
