about

Music with Mark:
Something's Gotta Give started out as an instrumental demo I've been kicking around since the Summer of 2002. It was first called "In Love" and as usual (with me) the title had little to do with the music. I revisited the song in 2005, to tighten it up a bit. At that point i was embarrassed by the title so it got changed to "Give it Up". That 2005 version also had a fun solo in it. Skip ahead to the fall of 2010 and I was digging through my pile of demos looking for something to update when I found "Give it Up". I hastily slapped a new version together (I ran out of time to record the solo) and sent it off. I think Rock wrote lyrics in less than 12 hours and had his version sitting in my inbox the next day. I like this song for it's simplistic, effective chorus chords and the chord voicings that i chose for the intro and middle eight. Looking at the sum of its parts, it's quite a nice little tune.
Chatter with Rock:
I wrote the prechours & chours melody almost instantly as I do with most of Mark's music, as it lends it self so well to melodic writing. The verses we're initally very different, but I didn't like the flow at all. So I took a break for about an hour and came back with the idea to just improvise a verse while recording the other parts and found the flow I was looking for!
Lyrically it's about the overwhelming amount of unhappy relationships people thrust themselves into in which they spend half the time doing everything but what THEY want to do. Eventually losing their sense of self and what makes them truly happy. You live once, do it with a smile or what's the point? I was looking for a way to describe it in a couple words then I got an invite to check out a friends new band "The Daily Hate"... Bam there it was right in front of me, second verse complete

lyrics

Do you recognize me anymore
Change stares at us both
Conforming identities
Forever fearing bored cause

All she talks about and
All he talks about
Is what they talk about
When they're both away
It's so cliche

Something's gotta give
Shame lies in secrets that
Holler for escape

Space between silence is defening
Greener grass awaits
Raising a tragedy
Amidst a daily hate
That awakens

All she talks about
All he talks about
Is what they talk about
When they're both away
It's so cliche

It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
It's bringing me down
You're bringing me down
I used to like to stay up late
I used to like to be awake
But you've sucked it all away
And here we are so cliche
Here we are so cliche

Something's gotta give
Nothing here is forever
I just want escape
Something's gotta give
Don't wanna be forever trapped this way

All she talks about is
What he talks about
All he talks about is
What she talks about
All she talks about is
What he talks about
All he talks about is
What she talks about
All she talks about is
What he talks about
All he talks about is
What she talks about
All she talks about is
What he talks about
All he talks about is
What she talks about

Something's gotta give
Nothing is forever
Something's gotta give
Nothing is forever
Something's gotta give
