about

I wrote a good part of this song during a live-taping session for this podcast called '30 Minutes or Free Bird': soundcloud.com/thedavidhayman/30-mins-or-free-bird-with-colleen-brown-second-chances

The idea is that the guest artist has to write a song without any prep in the 30 minutes it takes for the hosts to order pizza and receive it. The theme they gave me was 'second chances' and gosh darnit, I thought it turned out pretty well, barring a few minor lyrical mishaps.

I brought the song to Grant Davidson of Slow Leaves while I was stopping through Winnipeg on tour. We recorded a scratch of my guitar and vocal in his basement. He changed a few lyrics and built up a whole new soundscape in his instrumental parts. I overdubbed some new vocals and Voila! A boppy little number about seriously offending someone you didn't intend to!

lyrics

Try It Again

I put my foot right in my mouth
 (Try It Again, try it)
That’s when the evening started south
(Try It Again, try it)
When I began to explain
That your ideas are birdbrained
Did not expect you to fly off the handle
After all we’re just animals

You put your foot right in your mouth
(Try It Again, try it)
Did you suspect this would be love
(Try It Again, try it)
I did not mean to say
That all your songs are cliche
Hey, hey it’s your birthday
Let’s blow out the candles
While we’re still young

Let’s walk it off…
I still feel for you
Let’s walk it off…
C’mon let’s Try It Again…
