Description
This, our 9th last song (!!), is probably best described as a cross between Apples in Stereo and Foo Fighters (or maybe just Dave without the band). Let's get to it.

CHRIS: Today, I will be brief with the text bits. Awhile back our friend Gordon requested a "Chris piano song," and this is probably closest to what he had in mind. Over the course of this project I've noticed that I get the most positive feedback when I'm pushing the upper limits of my vocal range, so this song also attempts to do that. I had a hard time filling out the instrumentation... after I recorded the vocals and main piano part I wasn't sure where to take it from there, and I"m not sure I did the best job at that, so it might not sound full enough. But it still turned out pretty ok, I think.
Lyrics
I could write you a love song
But it won’t be long ‘til another takes its place
I could buy you a rose
But soon there would be no trace
And I keep on thinking about
How to turn it around
And I keep on crying out loud
Every night, do you hear me?
I die every time I see your disappointment
Ask why you and I can’t work it out
I try dodging lies and dousing them with ointment
Ask why you and I can’t work it out
I could build you a new home
Where we’d be all alone, you and me and a new lease
But they always come knocking
They always break the peace
And I keep on thinking about
How to turn it around
And I keep repeating vows
Every night, do you hear me?
I die every time I see your disappointment
Ask why you and I can’t work it out
I try dodging lies and dousing them with ointment
Ask why you and I can’t work it out

Thanks to Abe Hefter and producer Sarah Deshaies for having us on CJAD 800 AM in Montreal to talk about 52 song project. Here's the audio of the interview, which took place the evening of December 30, 2011 right after they played our last song, It's over, the end.

Friends, thanks for sticking with us throughout this journey. It's been a long time since this stupid crazy thing began, and we've had a lot of fun. But all good things must come to an end, and this is the last 52 song project song. We hope you like it.
