    Imagine if any given moment in your life could be the gateway to a parallel world where you are someone else. Your face, your age, even your species could change, but your name remains the same. Maybe you’re still you, or maybe you’re possessing other beings… after all, you begin to recall their memories as soon as you land somewhere new. You have no control over when these shifts happen, nor do you know where or when you’ll end up next. Would you think you’d gone mad?

    What if, after years of living as other people, you noticed that a girl- the same girl -was traveling along with you?

lyrics

I met a girl in Tennessee that saved me from insanity.
I only caught her name just now but I’m tied to her somehow.
I met a girl in Tennessee, she’ll never know what she means to me.
A million songs that I could write, but I just want one more night.

I met a girl, she looked at me. I don’t know what I’d hoped to see.
I only caught a glimpse just now but I’m tied to her somehow.
I met a girl in New York City- oh my God, was she so pretty,
but I never got a chance to stay, I stood up and got pulled away.

Everywhere I go, she is the same girl.
Everywhere I know she is the same.

I met a girl, she lived in France, I know we never had a chance.
I only caught my breath just now but I’m tied to her somehow.
I’ll meet a girl in outer space. I’ll know her name and I’ll know her face
and although she’s lost like me, I know she will set me free.

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

(Chorus)

Matthew Ebel Seattle, Washington

I call myself a piano rocker, but I’m really just kind of a goofball. I’ve been playing the piano since age 5, discovered electronic music at 12, and made this stuff my career in '99. Since then I’ve played the Grand Ole Opry, been quoted in Rolling Stone, and made a name for myself in new media. I’ve been playing piano rock full-time since 2007 and since then I’ve never looked back. ... more
