Andrew Treat Does Everything Right Redux

Those of us in certain circles have often said Andrew Treat does everything right.  He's a thoughtful friend who is the perfect accomplice for adventures that often share a border with life-altering experiences. This song reflects the 2nd in a series of parties hosted by the incomparable Andrew Treat.  Borrowing heavily from the material from our first song about an AT-related party, we've updated the lyrics to reflect a more recent vice-fueled weekend at his place in Parkersburg.  We also added some stuff like bass drops, bigger drums and deeper synths.  We'd like to thank beta team members Tanner, KY, Amrik and AT for their help.  We'd also like to thank the incredible Jackson Y for the poignant picture drawn for this song.  Seeing Jackson's vision of Andrew Treat in Game of Thrones form is a wonderful companion image for this project.

Lyrics:

I don't remember all of September.  Oh no.

I just remember pieces of this adventure.

It was me and AT

KY and Amrik

and it was scheduled to be

a Game of Thrones viewing

There was a giant TV

A million color 3-D

and it was loud as could be

He had an Acura TL

in which I sat in the back

and as the afternoon gelled

we all listened to rap

And then we made a quick stop

down at the old butcher shop

we got some red bloody chops

and then some red soda pop 

There was Rock Band, GTA

Staying up all night and day

Bourbon and some Powerade

Swervin' at the chopper raid.

And as the day began to fade

my memory began to shade

Games we barely got to play

Drinking till the light of day

We watched an orb weaver

make her man feed her

Covered in gore creature

on his back porch feature

Charlie Is the Foundation

Charlie Day artwork by Jackson Y.

The Efts watch a lot of TV.  Over the last few years, one show has emerged to dominate our television: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  We've become unabashedly enamored with one of the show's characters.  Charlie Kelly (portrayed by the ultra-talented Charlie Day) is a product of a broken home, broken dreams and broken teeth.  His indomitable spirit allows him to maintain a relatively positive attitude regardless of the stressors provided by the world at large.  "Charlie is our foundation!" is an exclamation made by Danny DeVito's Frank in episode 8 of season 9.  We agree.  We felt a need to pay homage to Charlie Kelly in song form.  We hope you enjoy.  

A special thanks goes out to Jackson Y for the superb artwork accompanying this song.  He continues to provide an integral facet of our overall musical product through his work as West Virginia's youngest professional artist.  We would also like to thank beta team member Tanner Haid for his musical and editing guidance.

Lyrics:

Boil denim that he found down under the bridge

With an eye to the side for the waitress

He will smash all the rats with his bashin' stick

and he might spend a night in the crevice.

With a soft spot copped for the man in green

he will pop tops off of the bottled drink

He's a friend to the end of the final scene

Charlie is the foundation

with the whole world on his back.

With the law of the bird he recalls what he heard

and he tosses the word 'filibuster'

Scrapping for every single thing that he owns

He atones.

Breathing fumes in the rooms of his empty bar

with his tools and the ghouls, doesn't need a car.

He's content that he went never nowhere far

Nowhere far.
