about

On December 23rd 2010, Peter sent me a message through my website asking me to write a song for his best friend Emily. Here's what he asked for.

What is your song idea?
A birthday song for my best friend Emily. Any style will do, i just want it to show that she is very cool and that i hope she has a wonderful day.

describe your song in one word
Happy

I wanted a little more information so I followed up:

Petey!
So excited to work on this. When's Emily's birthday? Don't want to miss it.
Also anything particular about Emily I should mention, hobbies, interests etc?

Petey, replied on December 25th, 2010.

Actually, it was yesterday, but she would still love a belated birthday song! and shes really excited about her new tambourine that she got for christmas. also, shes gonna be in california for a while, and im just hoping she doesnt move there. THANKS again!!!

I wrote the song on December 26th, 2010, recorded it, and sent it to Petey.

lyrics

There's nothing for ya In California That you'll never find again
Go see the ocean meet the left coast then return to me my friend

And You'll learn the tambourine I'll learn accordion
Go see the ocean meet the left coast then return to me my friend

We'll celebrate a belated birthday this december 26th
and save our money for something lovely so a song will be my gift

and you'll learn the tambourine I'll learn accordion
We'll celebrate a belated birthday emily my friend

Friends and sometimes TWT collaborators set out to make a "classic rock" album but got lost along the way. Favorite Track: Aviator Shades. The Wiggly Tendrils

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)
by A Severe Joy

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
