Unreleased Volume 1
About the Album
Whenever an album first hits the streets, I like to include a little something extra … what would have been in the form of B-Sides. In the post-CD era, B-Sides no longer exist … neither do A-Sides as pointed out by Mike Mills.
Trophies from Sheol Collector's Edition included Unreleased Volume 1 which had 3 additional tracks including an acoustic version of The Tears and alternate takes of both Shower Rock Star and Monster.
The Tears was originally a demo take that never made it onto any actual albums.
The alternate takes that appear in this release were demo recordings featuring vox and piano along with a crude piano solo in Monster. The non-piano versons of Shower Rock Star and Monster were originally released on Influences of Six in 2006.

The Tears
you've gone away
i'm here to stay
you fell today
you cried.you're goin' away and you're flyin' away and
you're driving away and you're goin' and goin'
you want to be here
but you can't stay right here
but you weren't right here
but you were and you were
and you said you'd said yes and i made you my guest
and i pulled back your hair and I smiled and smiled
you looked at my feet and you smiled at me
and we smiled and we laughed and we sighed and we smiled
and we sat on the beach and we stared for awhileyou've gone today
for you same way
for us some day
i cried.you've gone … okay
for you no gray
not astray
you cried.i've gone away
you are there to stay
i fell today
i cried.with you we've gone away
with you here we stay
we were here
we cried.we're goin' away and we're flying away and
we're driving away and we're goin' and goin'
we want to be here
but we can't stay right here
but we weren't right here
but we were and we were
and we said we'd say yes and we smile and rest
i pull back your hair and we smile and smile
we look at my feet and you smile at me
and we smiled and we laughed and we sigh and we smil
and we sit on the beach and we stare for awhilewith you we've gone away
with you here we stay
we, we are here
we cry. Shower Rockstar (acoustic)
Monster (alt. take with piano)
