From the recording Liveness
A remix of his own song, from the previous EP, All I Do Is Bleed. It's a version throw back to the Boss Nova era, the inspiration being Gilberto and Jobim, and the trip Ames made to Buenos Aires last year, falling in love with the Argentian land, people, and music. The guitar was a MP3 file sent by Paulo Augustine in Buenos Aires as an attachment to an email. Ames took it into the studio and sang to it in a single take.

I Want You -

(from the EP, All I Do Is Bleed)
1.
I want / what we had / when we had / what we did and we did / what we wanted / and we wanted / one another...I want you
I said / what I mean / and mean / what I see when you said / you were free / but all I do / is bleed...I want you
I lost / my disguise / when I figured / you reply but I never / heard a thing / its drivng me / insane...I want you
I thought / love would last / until / we were past seconds before you crash...
I want you
I want you
to help me find
a way to try
to start all over, over again
2.
I think /when you age/you sink /from the weight of those/ you can’t replace / even / in final days...I want you
I’m scared/ to my core / that someday / you’ll divorce my / sacred / inner / source / ...I want you
I want you
to help me find
a way to try
to start all over ... all over, over again
3.
I think /when you age/you sink /from the weight of those/ you can’t replace / even in / their final days...I want you
I said / what I mean / and mean / what I see when you said / you were free / but all I do / is bleed...I want you
I want / what we had / when we had / what we did
and we did / what we wanted / and we wanted / one another...I want you
