Where We Are
written & performed by Hook
I did
She didn't
We wouldn't
Now here we are

Exactly at the point where we are
Precisely in the center of the circle that surrounds us

I said
She cried
We fought
Now here we are

Exactly at the point where we are
Precisely in the center of the circle that surrounds us

I gave
She gave
We lost
Now here we are

Exactly at the point where we are
Precisely in the center of the circle that surrounds us

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

This arrangement is brilliant. Sounds like a 60's variety show.  The drums threw me in a couple spots.

Always love the way your voice floats/sustains over the instrumentation. Just killer.

This sounds incredibly well through out and I love your arrangement, Hook :) Those horns are just cool to hear how you've included them.

Great lyrics, just enough to leave the pictures and story to the imagination. Am amazed that you can do the drums with ThumbJam, along with all the other instruments. Love the sound of the picked Uke. The vocals have quite a mysterious and unique sound, which fits the song like a glove. Great tune brother.

Loved the hookastic production and performance! Trombone is amazing, here! This has reminiscent of They Might Be Giants, a bit imo! (It's just a good thing :) )

Yea, i did the uke part to a metronome & I really dragged it a few times, especially out of the 1st chorus into the 2nd verse. I added drums to the uke part and really should have recorded the uke again, ut I kinda likes the lazy feel.
Rock on!
