about

Was written previous to this album and recorded on my album Tiny Town as a solo piece. I had sort of a country rock feel for it in my mind. I remember thinking about some of those old Stones tunes that were like that like, “I won’t forget to put roses on your grave…” for example. At the time I was in a band and asked the drummer to sing it, who ended up doing a great job of it. When I decided to do a solo version, I used a different approach to it, one that I had heard in my head. It was also being played a lot in rehearsals with my new band, Ghost Dog, so that had a lot to do with re-recording it here in the way I heard it with a full band… Lyrically, it was written to my wife. I don’t often write and record from such personal experience… I’ve done a few of those in the past few years.

lyrics

EXCEPTION TO THE RULE -CARY MORIN

I MIGHT BE AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL AT THIS EARLY TIME
YOU NEVER QUESTION WHAT WE HAVE
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE JUST CAN'T HIDE
MAYBE I DO IT ALL WRONG
EVERYTHING IS BETTER NEXT TO YOU

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALWAYS
FOR DOING EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT
I KNOW I’M NOT THAT EASY TO BE AROUND
BUT YOU HELP ME SEE THE LIGHT
WELL THERE’S SO MUCH TIME FOR US TO LIVE
EVERYTHING IS BETTER NEXT TO YOU

EVERYTHING IS BETTER
WHEN I’M NEXT TO YOU
YOU MAKE ME WHAT I AM AND WHAT I AM
IS NEXT TO NEW

WELL THE WIND IS CHANGING
EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE MADE
I FEEL THE WORK IT’S BEEN HARD ENOUGH
I THINK I'M READY TO GET PAID
AM I THE WEIGHT ON YOUR SHOULDERS
OR THE BREEZE IN YOUR SAILS
EVERYTHING IS BETTER NEXT TO YOU
EVERYTHING IS BETTER NEXT TO YOU OH

EVERYTHING
EVERYTHING IS BETTER
EVERYTHING IS BETTER NEXT TO YOU OH
