| Out From Under the Covers has been a work in progress over the last several years. In addition to the many I have recorded or filed, I have written about four dozen songs (And counting!) that just never seemed to 'fit' the mood or genre of the other albums that I have worked on alone and with others. They kept getting set aside for one reason or another but the songs were great in their own right. Finally in February of 2008, after persistent urging from patient fans and family, I locked myself in the studio and didn't come out until I had an album. All songs were written and recorded by Dave Morehouse (c.2008) and all instruments and vocals were played and sung by Dave Morehouse. (ASCAP) Published at In the Chips Production (2008) My apologies to all those who wanted some of my other songs to appear on this album. Perhaps in the future I will be 'locked away' until another album comes out. Until that time.....I hope that you are able to enjoy the 13 that made the cut and are on Out From Under the Covers. |
| I Can Hold You (3:21) This is a rather straightforward rock tune. The trumpets make up the 'hook' for the song. After describing all the things that can't be done the most powerful of statements "I Can Hold You" provides resolution to the song. This is a personal fave of mine and that's why it sits on the pole position for the album. |
| Sometime Special (3:36) A song about a person's inability to tell someone else how they feel about them. Listen carefully for the cardboard box which is played by an old set of drum brushes. |
| I Fell Into Your Eyes (3:35) This is a rockin' love ballad based on one of humankind's greatest weaknesses. The eyes truly are windows to our very souls. |
| Only You (4:25) A slow ballad with a mixture of nylon strung classical and distorted electric guitars. For me, this one was the most fun to record. It harkens back to a day when I cranked the amp and let her rip playing fills betwixt the vocal lines. |
| I'm Comin' Home (4:05) This song has been best received by live audiences and is often requested "across the bandstand". My four note harmonica skills are at the forefront of this recording. The heavily effected Gibson SG (Chorus pedals rock!) keeps the rhythm going throughout. |
| Love At First Sight (4:05) Piano and acoustic guitar combine to form a background for the saddest of events. Love at first sight which turns into an unrealised yearning. |
| Do Me (3:45) Heavy synths and wailing harmonies emphasize the hapless plight of the young runaway. This isn't a smile over breakfast tune. |
| Crazy (5:07) Another particular fave of mine off this album. I love the chorus for this song. The chorus was written in 1997 but I never liked the rest of the song. Over the next ten years I wrote three different melodies and four different sets of lyrics to this song. What you hear on the album is the only one I was ever happy with. I am glad I stuck it out. |
| It Still Hurts (4:19) Another chorus that was written long ago. I changed the song entirely and kicked it up several notches. This one taps out at about 145 beats per minute so put your crazylegs on for this one. |
| Please Come Back (3:31) A tune about a problem that every relationship encounters sooner or later. One person is waiting up late for the other to get home. I may have done too much personal research for this song prior to writing it. If the vocals sound a little too whiny it's because they were meant to be that way! |
| Let's Go To Milwaukee (3:20) Comic relief for the album done in a style well suited for audience participation. I'll say no more........ |
| What The Fire's For (3:24) Two people who are on the rebound find each other and discover all that they need. A variety of instruments and a muted vocal help to get the message across to the listener. |
| Harley Song (My Harley Davidson) (1:51) A simple and straight ahead ballad about a couple's love for their ride. This is done in 3/4 time for those of you who are waltz inspired! |
