about

A song with such a title as "Get it Over With" does not belong anywhere the near the beginning of an album for obvious reasons.

I wrote this song while we were staying at my parents' house in the Eastern Sierras. It was one of those songs that just flowed out without much effort, confirming the hypothesis that artists are not sources of creativity, but rather conduits. I am not a religious person, but I feel a strong sense of spirituality and connection when I write, and especially when the muses favor me with a moment of artistic excellence.

The intimate nature and mood of this song called for a sparse arrangement. I introduced the Philip Glass-like string section with some trepidation, but it worked quite well.

So, after all of the odysseys into the world of samples, synths, and loops, the album comes home to a boy and his guitar.

lyrics

GET IT OVER WITH

If all hope is lost
Then there’s nothing left to lose
And if all choice is gone
Then there’s nothing to choose

Out of my head
Out of my mind
Out of luck
And out of time
I just want to get it over
Want to get it over with

And if all bets are off
Then there’s nothing left to win
And if we’re all in Hell
Does it matter if I sin?

I’m out of my head
Out of my mind
Out of luck
And out of time
I just want to get it over
Want to get it over with

I just want to make it stop
Want to let the hammer drop
If you look into my heart
It’s been blown apart

And if all hope is lost
Then there’s nothing left to fear
And if I never cry
Then I’ll never want for tears

Out of my head
Out of my mind
Out of luck
And out of time
I just want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over with
