Rewind 02:56
Well I been thinkin ‘bout it 
I been movin round here 
I don’t know what to do
 Things aint getting too clear 
I used to love you baby 
You used to be my sweet thing
 You still love me baby 
It’s a crying shame 

Well I can’t figure it out, no 
Not a little bit
 I ‘s the only one born to this life
 And I’m the only one living it So how the hell you goin 
To come around and tell me how to live?
 How the hell you goin? 
I can’t figure it, no
!

Flash 05:42
We’re at the start now, that’s where we begin Before I’m broken down again And everything looks innocent to me Well I don’t have time before I die to let you make me change my mind I’ve got one life, I know the choices mine to make You know, most times you’ve got to crawl before you walk And there’ll be times when they put you up just to watch you fall Did you ever wonder if there’s cameras up above When you give away your love? I know, sometimes it seems you’ll fall And then when you do, the ground comes up to meet you Sometimes it seems as if the sun is crying down on you But you can still feel it shining down I said sometimes it seems as if you’ll fall And then when you do The ground comes up to meet you yeah

Credits 05:50
Well the budget is over, said this cut is a wrap
 Yeah the frames they went by much too fast 
With everyone watching, this is the end 
Said there’s only one way to go I hope that life’s like a movie; ya figure it out by the end 
I hope that life’s like a movie and ya figure it out by the end 
(So) Time is not always easy, is it my friend? 
Until the credits start rolling, it isn’t the end The leading lady’s never happy, best boy ain’t so good
 Yeah the scenes don’t turn out the way they should
 You’ve got to reach everybody by just simply being personal 
And the writers are on strike but it’s really a joke 
Because the letters are still there, they just haven’t been wrote
 But nobody even notices
 The frames just keep rolling on
 And on da da da AO da da da AO 
da da da AO da da da AO You know it’s lights, camera, action
 It’s the ‘present’ they say 
I think it means that life’s a gift
 So won’t you treat it that way? With the premier behind you, critics said what they say 
Though they hesitate to put their own lives on display 
Recognize what it is, continue just to do your thing
 Home sales will slowly maintain
 What’s important, my friend 
Is a personable story with a twist at the end 
Or it’s easy: end it happy 
The choice is really up to you

about

It is clear by the beginning of the second track that this EP is not going to be the typical experience. Each new track surprises the listener with a freshness and originality that is a refreshing change of pace. The Al B EP starts with a blast of ornery, powerful rugged rock and quickly transitions to an uplifting instrumental highlighting the interplay of tenderly arranged cello and acoustic guitar.

The album continues to dance in and out of genres with ease, touching on a southern California reggae-vibe tinged with straight forward southern rock/psychedelia on the third track. Those who listen carefully (and take notes) during the Chorus sections of the song are sure to be rewarded with a tasty summertime adult-type beverage.

Pedal steel beautifully compliments emotional and fragile vocals on the fourth track, 'Flash'. A resonator guitar is featured tastefully as well as the soulful swell of a Hammond Organ. The EP ends with a gentle and breezy track that feels like a day at the beach. 'Credits' features the mandolin and ukelele and uses African and Latin American percussive instruments (udu, guiro and cabasa) instead of a standard drum kit, so the song has more of an old, traditional world-vibe than a typical rock song.

This album is a sneak peak into a full-length debut to soon be released. This is a limited run and sales will be discontinued upon release of the full-length album.

Sales of the album helped raise funds for the children's hospital at the 2013 event, however, this digital distribution is not associated with any charitable organization (other than the starving artist who created it). Also, the promotion of these organizations does not imply their endorsement of this product
