Sleep It Off (4​-​track cassette collab)

from 2021 by ZeCoop

/

about

This song was written one part at a time by four different people! I wrote and recorded the acoustic guitar part onto track 1 of a 4-track cassette tape, and mailed it off to Washing ton DC. Eric and Patti recorded bass and drums onto two more tracks and mailed the tape to Pittsburgh, PA. Burr Settles finished off the song by writing lyrics and recording vocal and lead guitar onto the last track.

It's a long process but really fun and so worth it! Somehow, it actually sounds like we were a band in the same room. :)

1: ZeCoop — acoustic 12-string guitar
2: Eric Agner — bass
3: Patti Fetz — drums
4: Burr Settles — lyrics, vocals, electric guitar

lyrics

I know we could have been great
But it feels like too much at stake
I ought to show you a sign
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I’ll just sleep it off this time

Hopes high, head low
Think yes, say no
Decide, denied
I’ll just sleep it off this time
Turn on, tune out
Self worth, self doubt
Top of... nevermind
I’ll just sleep it off this time

I know when you want to talk
We tend to run out the clock
I’d wake up if I were inclined
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I’ll just sleep it off this time

I just don’t want us to rock the boat
Won’t what we avoid still stay afloat?
At least that’s what I’d like to think
I’d rather drift away than sink

You know we’ve been here before
And we could settle the score
If I’d speak the back of my mind
I’ll just sleep it off this time

I know we could have been great
But it feels like too much at stake
I ought to show you a sign
I’ll just sleep it off this time
I’ll just sleep it off this time...

(Burr Settles)

about

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.
