Hughes Sessions - The Comforter

In July, Jim and I went down to Hughes Hall to record some songs using their grand piano. We shot a couple hours of video and recorded a whole bunch of takes for each song. This is the first of many future installments of the Hughes Sessions. Behold, The Comforter.



The Comforter Lyrics:

A brick fell on my head.
An ambulance scooped me up
to a hospital bed.

It's not the best time I've had.
Once I got all those drugs in me,
I really didn't feel so bad.

Everything was in a haze.
I traveled back in time,
saw you in those days

When you were my best friend.
Life goes on and on
till everything comes to an end.

We could talk all day.
We never said, "I have to run,
I don't have time to stay."

We never felt alone.
When your dad came after you,
I hid you in my home.

You know, I almost died,
I was comforted
when I found you inside.

There we'll still be pals.
You should call me up sometime
when your schedule allows.
Hey Hey Hey

Oh, I was comforted by your memory.
Oh, I was comforted when you were here.

Scarlet Gray and Green Fair

On October 3, we played the opening performance at the Scarlet Gray and Green Fair, an annual festival on the south oval held by Students for a Sustainable Campus. The Fair helps promote environmental lifestyles, clean energy, and recycling. There was free food, prize giveaways, booths, a movie, and lots of live music! The Blastronauts were there, and so was Our Cat Philip, two excellent groups with whom we have played several shows in the past. We were really happy to be a part of this.

A very special thanks to James Allison of the Blastronauts for the camerawork.

Shows Galore

The Neighbors have been hard at work lately producing our new Demo (which we finally completed) and playing lots of shows around Columbus. We would like to thank all of you adoring fans who came out to see us at the Scarlet, Gray, and Green Festival, Gallery Hop, and especially the Battle of the Bands at Bernie's. We won by just 1 crowd member over one of the other bands, so now we are on to the finals on October 26th for a chance to win $250, so come check it out!

Come see us this Friday October 10th at Midnight Victorian's Cafe at 9:00pm.

We have also been talking with Submersive Media Group about doing a split EP with Gigantopithecus, so get excited for that.
