Cry Out Baby
D. Maddocks/ J. Smetana

Late at night when I’m coming home I see your face and inside I know
That you’re everything I’ve been waiting for and this road I walk
Leads me to your door

When I cry out baby you understand
When I cry out baby take my hand

Think about the life I live, I don’t want no more than the love you give
And everything seems so clear tonight, cause when you’re in my arms
The world feels right

When I cry out baby you understand
When I cry out baby take my hand

Sometimes the walls are closing in
Sometimes on my knees again
Sometimes

When I cry out baby you understand
When I cry out baby take my hand

*Cry Out (Baby) "So we had I think a week until we went to Cherokee Studios to record what we thought would be the rest of the album. I was playing my Strat one day before rehearsal going over our songs when a melody popped in my head. I quickly found the chords, turned on my 4 track, put my amp in my closet, and recorded a rough demo of the song. I drove to the rehearsal studio thinking that we should record the song. I played it for the guys and they all agreed. We quickly put together the song arrangements. This left me to finish the lyrics. It’s about knowing that all the hard work you put into your job is worth it, because at the end of the day you have someone waiting for you who understands you completely (another song for Steph)."-Dax

"Actually, we finished the lyrics on this one up at Cherokee. It’s kind of hard to go in and do vocals without the words, you know. I think they were doing bass or something, so we sat on this nasty old couch in the back and wrote it up. It was very easy to write words to the melody Dax wrote. I like that when the lyrics come easy. It means you are in touch with what the song is about as a whole. The off-time drum pattern at the beginning was Graham’s (our engineer) idea. We set up a mike in this tiled room off of the tracking room that had amazing natural reverb and recorded the drum pattern. Then we fed that track out into the main room through the monitors and recorded that signal. It created that weird delay that eventually synced-up with the main track. Kind of a Coldplay move. Nice touch."-Jeff
