    One of just 1000 physical CDs pressed of my first album, She Makes Noise. Replete with references to social music websites that no longer exist! Once they're gone, I'm not pressing anymore, and this is pretty much the only collectable item that exists as far as my first album goes, so this is your chance to grab one before I'm famous (I joke...). Let me know if you'd like me to sign it for you.

lyrics

I know I’m only seventeen
And thus I don’t pretend to understand
The reasons why I love you
I’m grateful just to hold you in my hands
I know it’s junior year
I’ve barely slept an hour in twenty four
And although I’d like to call you
I guess I’m gonna have to wait just a little bit more

Seven shades of Saturday
Just enough time to redefine my mind
Seven Shades of Saturday
Eternity enough for even-kind

I don’t expect we’ll make it through
To all the things I’d hoped that we would do
But I liked our conversations
I liked the way I saw myself in you
But now it all feels badly traced
Our lives are sewn together with remorse
And I’m afraid I’ll wake to realize
That mine’s been wandering far away from yours

Seven shades of Saturday
What was my time became my fall from grace
At least I lived through yesterday
I’m that much colder after your embrace

So here I stand with all I own
I’m holding out my heart please take it
Don’t leave me alone
But all you say is “go away”
If you have ever loved me please don’t go
Please don’t go…

So now that I must say goodbye
Perhaps you’ll take the time to ask yourself
Why you drove away your lover
I’m not sorry I ran for cover
I loved you more than you’ll ever know
And all I have to show for it is pain
If I know you you’ll get by just fine
A man like me is easy to attain

I’ve made some grand mistakes
I doubt I’ll ever reconcile them all
Battered by your broken logic
I’m wracked against the writing on the wall
I feel like such a fool
I tore apart my life to fit your rules
Well I hope that I was kinder than this to you

Seven shades of Saturday
Where have you gone my long forgotten blues?
I’ve all these gorgeous memories
That now just bring me melancholy hues
Seven shades of Saturday
I have no more tears left to shed for you
