Featuring Michele (acoustic guitar, percussion & shaker)

---------------------------------

Lake Michigan is a VIDEOSONG, a new medium with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

I love Rogue Wave, and so does Michele (btw, I used to be her guitar teacher. I think she's progressed quite well!). Michele suggested we do this cover for YouTube many months ago, and we finally got around to doing it.

Thank you for checking this out!!!

note: drums were played live on an acoustic/electronic hybrid kit I built. The sounds come from Superior Drummer 2.0 by Toontrack (with the Indie Folk EZX expansion kit). Check it out at http://www.toontrack.com.

additional note: Percussion video/recordings shot at the Fort Washington School of Rock in Fort Washington, PA (Philly area).

Special thanks to Rogue Wave for writing this brilliant, beautiful and meaningful song.

lyrics:
heaven is a switchboard that you want to fight
she would even miss you if you taught her sight
power politician leaning to the right
baby's got a trust fund that she'll want to

go off like that
get off of my stack
leave a little window
get off of my stack

now we wear same colored yellow uniforms
sky is burning but at least you know we're warm
go and run yourself a million miles
hoping that the colors run out

and you go off like that
get off of my stack
leave a little window
get off of my stack

you can never see yourself
ringing all around it

no one (is on) lake michigan
you labored (on) lake michigan

not another payoff
get off of my stack
leave a little window
get off of my stack
you know it won't do
get off of my stack

you can never see yourself
ringing all around it
