about

This song was an older one that I never recorded or even demo’d. It’s the battle scars from an old, failed relationship that I think I’m still processing. I always liked the song, but never played it for anyone. I was cleaning up an old folder of lyrics and found it and decided to track it during COVID isolation. I had acoustic guitar to a click and sent it to Hector and asked him to put some drums on it. It sounded great, so I just kept working on it, adding in the bass, and then some backwards 12-string parts. I sent it to Dan, he loved it and came up with that slinky guitar melody in the chorus sections on his Ric 12-string. I also had just bought a bunch of latin percussion instruments, so this song got to be the guinea pig for a bunch of them! To me, the genius of Dave Westner’s mix really shines here, particularly whatever cool effect he came up with for the guiro in the breakdown of the 3rd verse. Mike heard the track and loved it and said I don’t need to play on this recording, you guys got it covered.

lyrics

Dreaming of a better time, when you used to ease my mind- memories from long ago.
Another time, another place…all the happiness we chased. So many things we didn’t know…

Faded photos on the wall are the memories that call-disconnected from my mind.
Disconnected…

Circumstances of the soul, made me lose my self control-just some time to be with you.
Moonlit nights and river walks…special places, lover’s talk…hollow words that don’t ring true.

All the messages were saved, now I’ve thrown them all away-disconnected from my mind.
Disconnected…

So, I take it kind of slow, ‘cause I got now where to go. I think of all the time gone by…
To me, it didn’t seem that long, and you say that you’ve “moved on” – no final kiss, no last goodbye…

Close the door and drive away, is there nothing more to say? Disconnected from my mind…
Disconnected.
