Middle Ground

Middle Ground
(Hewitt)

A Scott Hewitt joint, and it's a good 'un. An early Pop Machine track that actually was an example of good pop music: tuneful and thought-provoking, with lyrics tackling "balance" issues both geopolitical and personal (Side note: I must apologize for duffing one lyric, accidentally substituting "keep the scales from moving side to side" in place of "keep the scales moving from side to side". I know that reverses the meaning; let this be an official mea culpa to the world). Plus, we actually play the lion's share of instruments here, putting to rest those nagging Monkees comparisons (yes, I know at one point they played their instruments as well. You know what I mean).

Al: Vox, Keys
Sook: Bass
Scott: Guitar
Dave: Drums
