Down In The Basement Lyrics - Parallel Play - Sloan

Way down, way far underground 

We got started at the bottom of the basement 

We didn't stretch to come to a sound 

We'd just play until we found the proper placement 

And it was all right 

It was just the way we used to do it 

But now the times have changed and all the questions too 

Like why bother to pursue it 

For far too many, many years 

I'd ask myself the same thing everyday 

What do I want and where should I do 

Is playing music just leading me astray 

I didn't think so 

And all my sisters convinced me that I should keep it up 

Because it was embedded in my blood type, oh

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

All that we needed was four tracks and maybe some paint fumes 

And the desire for creation was away 

It always sounded good, and we knew it would 

We never dreamed that one day it would pay 

And now we're slowly waking up 

I had the strangest dream 

I was drowning in a flooded studio coiled in cables and inputs 

And I was coming apart at the seams 

Forty tracks 

Forty mikes 

Turn up the heaters and fire up the floodlights 

Because we're going to be here for a long time 

But this place feels right because this is our space 

And we can do what we want when we need it and it's on our own dime 

Photos 

And now I'm raising up a ballet boy and a hockey girl 

And I've a wife that I really love 

Truly, dearly, completely, and hopefully so 

Somebody's watching over from above 

Just who, I can't say 

I try to rationalize it in my own way 

These are the reasons that you do what you do and I can be satisfied 

With a life of less work and more play 

Poor me
