Words & Music by Mike Power

“If there’s more life after death I bet I’ll like that too.”

There are a lot of things in life that are painful or unfair. Most people are too caught up in the web of their own pain or injustice to help you with yours. So, when you find someone who is kind, who wants to make you feel better as much as you want to make them feel better, you should make a point of telling them, “I like you.”

This track starts of with Chris kicking in the drums, then my acoustic guitar, followed by Julie’s bass rumbling down the fretboard before the electric guitar kicks in. I love the energy of this track and the precision of Reed’s production. When I first heard his final mix I felt like I was hearing the song for the first time and, for me at least, this vacuum-packed song retains its freshness on repeated listens.

I like the sounds that you make
When you make a mistake
Or you make the kind of love that
Nobody can fake

I like the smell of your skin
When your patience wears thin
And there's so much to do you don't know
Where to begin

I like the thought of your soul
Going out of control
When you get fired up
When you get on a roll

I like nothing as much as I like
Nothing as much as I like
Nothing as much as I like you

I like the look of your smile
When your life's a pile
Of confusion you wear
Like it's the latest style

I like the cross and the blood
And the tears and the mud
And the way your walls crack
When you can't hold back the flood

I like nothing as much as I like
Nothing as much as I like
Nothing as much as I like you

I like cats and the zoo
I like everything we do
And if there's more life after death
I bet I'll like that too

I like grass, trees,
Everything that makes you sneeze,
And the way you get wet
When you get on your knees

I like nothing as much as I like
Nothing as much as I like
Nothing as much as I like you
