Let’s Pretend is the lead off track from our new record. Featuring driving bass, drums and chiming guitar this one was written about feeling like you want to get out of your own skin for a while.  The line “Let’s pretend we’re John, George, Ringo.   I’ll pretend I’m a circus clown” is about friends of mine who are in a Beatles tribute band (I was in it for a while).  They continue to do these songs, while ignoring their own original music.  I was chastised when I left for wanting to follow my own creative direction.  Nothing against tribute bands but I’d rather be known for being me.  I played my favorite guitar (Gibson Es-335) and HiWatt amp cranked up for this one.  Tony played his Fender Precision through an Ampeg amp.  Fred plays a hybrid Tama/DW kit (he mixes stuff up a lot).  Fred plays some nice fills on this track.  The lyric during the break is pretty self-explanatory…..  Big Bob Mould influence on this song (thanks Bob, you rock!).   So that’s the lead off track…..
