The idea was to make a song that explored how I, personally, needed to grow. I wanted the melody to be simple and timeless and for the music to have that expansive feel...like a long drive across the country. I was fortunate enough to make a really interesting music video/public art project based on the song with filmmaker/photgrapher Haik Kocharian. The result can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEAq35TRG5M. Enjoy.

CAN’T WAIT
Alan Semerdjian
I can’t wait for the day
When my words stop being weapons this way
I can’t wait for the day
I’ll cast these busted habits away
I can’t wait for the day
My mouth will have something to say
I can’t wait for a time
When I won’t be relying on rhyme
I can’t wait for the cake
That celebrates our different mistakes
I can’t wait most everyday
All the time la dee da
I can’t wait for a sign
That I can make it better next time
I can’t wait every night
For the sweet sweet humming birth of your light
I can’t wait for a break
I can say I’m finally awake, I’m awake, I’m awake, I’m awake…
