The opening song off of "First Journey to the Sun in a Jeep". This recording was done in May 30, 2006, but the original was sometime in 1972 and recorded on a Sony reel-to-reel, sound on sound tape machine.
"In a Little While" was the lead off song on my first solo album , which I always spelled incorrectly. I wrote it on piano, which explains why it moves at a snail's pace. Despite its slow speed, I kind of like it. Very primitive, but kind of cool in its cute, ugly way. I can still hear the original in my mind, and though this is a slicked up version (sound effects and what not) it didn't sound very different from this.
This was something in the order of the 14th tape that I made, but it was the first solo tape, after Steve and I disbanded the Garbage Band. All of which is only meaningful to me, I guess.
In a little while,
At the station,
Saved a little money,
For the occasion,
Gonna board a train,
Leaving all my pain,
Im getting outa here,
Leaving all my fear:
And it kinda makes me
Freed up inside, yeah!
It kinda makes me
Freed up inside!
In a little while,
At the station,
Gonna move away,
From this location!
Gotta ticket outa here,
To a place some other where,
Going down track,
And I wont be looking back!
And it kinda makes me:
Freed up inside, yeah!
It kinda makes me:
Freed up inside.
