Finally A New Song - Further West

Well, it's been just about a month since my last tune and I apologize. To be fair, I have a really great reason. I've been lazy. Also, I wanted this one to sound better.
That's why this time I experimented with a little electric guitar and sound editing.
That's right. This time I actually used more than one audio track to record on. And if you think recording vocals separately is easy, let me tell you, having to explain why exactly you've singing by yourself to your roommate in the middle of the night is a lot harder.

So I think this one sounds different, but I think it also sounds better. Whatever the case, let me know what you think.

Further West - Zack Newcott and the Chemical Cow



Further West

They call you a coward
because you ran away
but if you had someone left
you'd be willing to stay
You never felt so alone
You had never felt so alone

So into the West
you began to sail
and the mountains were covered
by a velvet vail
and you never felt so alive
and you never felt so alive

Any further West you go
You will surely drown
But if you stay here
they all know
sinking sand will pull you down.

The mountains turn to trees
and the trees to sand
and you're not quite a boy
but you're not a man
you're just out there on your own
you're just out there on your own

The Hula girl dances
but she doesn't feel
and the girl you think is waiting
well she's no more real
she lives inside your mind
she just lives inside your heart

Any further West you go
You will surely drown
But if you stay here
they all know
sinking sand will pull you down.

You will find no answers
out on the road
because the question is
all you need to know
How far do you need to go?

The horizon's pretty far
but it's within reach
it's just a couple miles
until you hit the beach
You're living on the line
you're living on the line.

And when the sun sets
you will be right there
your feet in the water
and your hands in the air
and life will love you back
and life will love you back

Any further West you go
you will surely drown
But if you follow the current's flow
you will soon hit solid ground.
