Wrote this last night, added the viola this morning. I really dig this one! Inspired by "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" which is a short movie made by Josh Whedon starring Neil Patrick Harris & Nathan Fillion. It's got some great songs in it, the freeze ray tune in act one is my favorite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVBjS22ppdw it's here if you have 45 min. to waste.

1 uke (stereo)
1 vocal (stereo)
1 novelty maracas
1 cymbals (TJ)
1 bass
1 viola (TJ)

Secret Identities
written & performed by Hook
I can make you appear, materialize
But keeping you here is so much harder,
                       much to my surprise
I should have put my attention to stopping time
So I could freeze this moment right before my demise

                                             No more secret identity
                                             Suddenly it's just me that you see
                                             & this damn cape's tangled in a tree

I can make it appear that I'm deep, thoughtful & wise
But keeping you here seems to involve
                               an intricate web of lies
I'm lost in deception not sure I really realize
I wish I would have put my attention to stopping time

                                             No more secret identity
                                             Suddenly it's just me that you see
                                             & I believe you see right through me

I ain't tellin' you no lie

I'm almost sure I commented on this - I can't have pressed post.
Loved this - the lyric "this damn cape tangled in a tree" - wicked Bro.
Rock on.
