Paul Crane SO happy to see this album on bandcamp...This one has been in steady rotation for nearly two decades - every song here is a winner, especially considering that Fritz performes the majority of the instruments and vocals on the album - It's Only a Dream, Cynical Eye, Over You, and All The Best are the standouts for me, but this entire record is an absolute jewel from a brilliant singer/songwriter/musician. Favorite track: It's Only A Dream.

Cynical Eye 06:24
She’s only Mary She hates her mother who left her to die There on the TV There’s no emotions when viewed Through a cynical eye And I don’t pretend to know pain I’ve got a house to go to When it’s raining outside And I’ve learned how to laugh at myself I can’t begin to hide tears I don’t know how to cry She’s always hungry She never gets enough sugar to live There on the TV Its always to easy to take Never wanting to give And I don’t pretend to know pain I’ve got a house to go to When it’s raining outside And I’ve learned how to laugh at myself I can’t begin to hide tears I don’t know how to cry No more reminders No more bad talk shows No more Captain Crunch

Ami Eveliano 06:42
Now that we’ve come this far there is no other way Some might be satisfied with dreams fading away A million miles away But I never understood Oh I never understood it at all Oh I never understood I will never wish you goodbye I will never break your heart I will never be the same Everything is changed I’ve gotten over my old fear of the dark Some fears are hard to shake Say things I don’t mean Mean things I don’t say Hope I never let you down Hope I never drive you crazy Hope I never let you down I will never wish you goodbye I will never break your heart I will never be the same Now that we have come this far along I will never wish you goodbye Everything is changed Clouds are moving through the trees Way on up there we go, there we are and I could go way, could go way Clouds are moving through the trees All that I wanted was …

At night the trees are whispering secrets They watch me sit by the camp fire Counting Indians dancing And it’s only a dream So don’t take my only Reason to wake me slowly I fell off my wagon Trying to find a rhyme My dogs like chasing ghosts from my past They watch me stand on the porch step Knowing I can’t see them And it’s only a dream So don’t take my only Reason to wake me slowly I fell off my wagon Trying to find a rhyme My daughter’s older than I’ll ever be She watches me on the treadmill Wondering why I’m frightened And it’s only a dream So don’t take my only Reason to wake me slowly Slowly I’m falling apart God knows I’m wondering when I’ll wake up from this trance If only I had a glass of cool ice tea At night the trees are whispering secrets

All The Best 03:49
Money, work, love, time, money, love, I never hear what you are saying You never care what I’m thinking But I do it all the best I can I’m not too smart but I know who I am I’m going for the promised land I’ll go on and on and on and on Money, work, love, time, money, love, I never know what you are thinking You never hear me when I’m shouting But I do it all the best I can I’m not too smart but I know who I am I’m going for the promised land I’ll go on and on and on and on I play bass in a rock n roll band It’s just way too hard to play lead guitar We travel in an old Caravan We’ll go on and on and on and on

In The Tree 06:09
He’s hiding from the sun Where could they be? In the tree On the branch At the top Of the tree With the swing In the woods On the street By the school Where we meet I will sit And I’ll wait For they said They would come After class is left out And we’re friends There’s no doubt And we meet every day And we climb All the way to the top Of the tree If we can Just to see As I sit On the branch At the top of the tree With the swing In the woods On the street By the school Where we meet every day After class is let out And we’re friends There’s no doubt they will come And the tree is so tall As I look all around And I sway in the breeze All alone in the tree In the tree ... in the tree … I wish I didn’t wish … You must face it alone

Over You 04:03
Here comes the rain And the mailman’s turning nasty So my dogs are sleeping in for the day And I’ll never fall while the world is still beneath me And I’m flying without knowing my way And my friend Todd always says, “I’m sure you’ll think of something” Still the leaves will never fall over you And my friend Todd always says, “I’m sure you’ll think of something” Still the leaves will never fall over you The leaves will never fall Long as the grass is growing tall Over you Yes I’m really over you Given an opportunity to fly up to the moon, I’d gladly take it And don’t forget to wash behind your ears And brush and floss your teeth And don’t forget a tissue to wipe your nose Over you The leaves will never fall Long as the grass is growing tall Still the leaves will never fall over you

I like being nice to toll collectors There’s nothing but laughter deep inside my head And why do children know what grownups learn to forget? There’s nothing but laughter Tino’s batting cleanup and the Moose is on the mound There’s nothing but laughter deep inside my head The moon is getting angry while the earth is losing ground Laughter I’m not feeling hopeless today So what the hell is wrong with being normal? There’s nothing but laughter deep inside my head And the children aren’t afraid to sing Outside my window there are blue jays screaming I’m not feeling hopeless I’m not feeling hopeless today So what the hell is wrong with being normal? There’s nothing but laughter deep inside my head And the children aren’t afraid to sing Outside my window there are blue jays screaming So the leaders follow orders while the followers debate Over the orders that the leaders make us follow And we follow all the orders from the leaders we debate Although we never learn the reasons why we follow So the leaders follow orders while the followers debate Over the orders that the leaders make us follow And we follow all the orders from the leaders we debate Although the leaders never know that there are people screaming

about

“The Feeling of Far” is written as a concept album. The concept is a loose one, it’s about remembering to be child. I mixed this album to flow with minimal interruptions of silence and I think it’s best enjoyed when listened to from beginning to end.
