I used to live at a place in East Hollywood called the Church of F.U.N. Back when you could live there. For no particular reason I decided to start a project in which I would write and record a new song every week and share it online until I felt like stopping. All the recordings were done in the main room there and it wasn't uncommon for there to be members of the house and friends hanging out or passing through while that was happening. After 14 songs I realized I had an album, and that is what this CD is.
I think Gibbons plays some banjo on a track, and Dusty plays tambourine or harmonica on a track. That might be on the other album from this project, Nine Weeks.
I wrote and played and engineered everything otherwise, as far as I can remember.

lyrics
I could fall in love with someone like you
I could do the silly things that someone in love would do
I could climb a mountain high or cross the ocean blue
I could write a love song if I wrote it for you
There's a lot of people who say love's dead
In a crazy world like this there's just no room for it
Back before you looked into my eyes I must admit
I thought all those love songs were a bit full of shit
But now I think I understand the reason
I see these people holding hands
And when I think about you leaving
That's a thought that I can't stand
But if you could fall in love with someone like me
Nothing in this universe could wriggle in between
We could take the world on or just lay in bed and dream
We could do anything
With someone like you and me
