about

First things first, the last 60 SECONDS of the song really take it home, hold out for it. Do not be fooled by the chill intro.

Ok, here's how it all happened........

Darien Brahms, of Portland rock scene fame saw Sontiago do an a cappella version of this song and said, "What are you doing with that song?" To which, Sontiago replied, "Nothing really, I made a rough beat to go with it." "Send it to me," said Brahms.

The vision of the two's first collaboration began there. Darien worked day and night playing multiple instruments to recreate a new beat inspired by Sontiago's original version. The result was genius. Darien, a cold-ridden Sontiago, some beers, hot tea and yogurt covered pretzels got together to record some vocals in Darien's home studio.

It was during the second vocal session that Sontiago suggested she had written some additional vocals for the ending. Darien orchestrated the vocal layers that really achieve what they consider the best part of the song: the last 60 seconds we told you about earlier.

On the third session Ric Loyd came to record live drums. He may have drank some beer.

Darien, the talented perfectionist that she is added more, subtracted some, mixed the vocals, mixed the drums and came up with something.

The mixes and various endings went back and forth and back and forth between the artists and this is the result, for you.

lyrics

Lyrics:
I would never try to buy you
But you're the last person I want to see denied
Of anything, of anything that money can't buy
Like love, like love, like or love

He said, "I would never hurt you.
But I see that you've got the fight inside.
So you better put your dukes up so you have them to hide behind.
Cause I need someone to carry my bloodline.
So my name can have a clean slate.
I'm not getting any younger and I'm afraid it's getting late."

She seemed decided but was laden with doubt
Sweating profusely for the day they found her out
Then it came her bluff was called
The baby stretched her skin
But her happiness was not her own as her friend had none within

I would walk into a burning building
I would walk across town to tuck you in
I would feed you if you were unable
But I must confess I am wearing thin

Sometimes I just want you to want me
Even though you need a hand more than I do
Sometimes I need you to reach out
It's a two-way street and I"m headed to you

I would walk into a burning building
I would walk across town to tuck you in
I would feed you if you were unable
But I must confess I am wearing thin

I would give you the world if I knew how
I would trade my place if it were mine to give
