Here we are. Our maiden voyage. The first transmission from With Help. We really hope you like it. One thing we forgot to mention in our earlier post was that the songs we’re sharing here are not “professional” recordings. These are essentially field recordings. Just something to keep in mind. If there is interest, we’ll share more about how these songs are written and recorded at some point in the future.

But for now, here’s Caught Guessing.

Caught Guessing

Words by Nick Ostdick

Music by With Help (Nick Ostdick and Russell Savage)

I don’t sleep because I dream

See me scurry like a lost dog scared and mean

I’m dynamite, I’m breaking apart

Sparks in the sky over Riverside Park

If you’re driving on the wrong side of the road

There’s something about me you’ll never know

I guess you caught me guessing

You caught me guessing

Again

I guess you caught me guessing

Again…

A nurse once told me I’m the kind that bleeds

And that’s a kind of selfishness nobody needs 

In the canyons of our American home

I’m hiding out in a quiet you never outgrow

If you’re driving on the wrong side of the road

There’s something about me you’ll never know

I guess you caught me guessing

You caught me guessing

Again

I guess you caught me guessing

Again…

I don’t sleep because I dream

Of the ocean’s of country between you and me

I’m dynamite, I’m breaking apart

Sparks in the sky over Riverside Park

If you’re driving on the wrong side of the road

There’s something about me you’ll never know

I guess you caught me guessing

You caught me guessing

Again

I guess you caught me guessing

Again…
