Comprised of childhood friends, lead vocalist and guitarist Andy Schmidt and drummer Brad Booker, later bringing in bassist Kevin Gagnepain when all three were enrolled in the University of Missouri-Columbia, St. Louis's Stir have been making a name for themselves through their extensive touring and glossy power-pop. Originally signed by Aware Records after their showcase at the 1995 South By Southwest festival, their self-titled debut, though rather low budget, received some airplay.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Intro: E-F#m-A x2
EF#mA Talk to me so slow that I can hear you EF#mA Cause what you say makes so much sense to me EF#mA Here I'll stand with nothing on my mind EF#mA Forgetting everything I'm supposed to say EF#mA As I start learning more you'll whisper to me EF#mA And tell me what to wish for when I dream the day away EF#mA Cause I know that you're the one to teach me something EF#mA Like who I am and how to make my way
CHORUS:
AA/AbF#m And when all these things become clear AA/AbF#m I'll thank you for making all these things seem so clear
So clear
EF#mA Take me to your favorite places EF#mA Where no one knows me but they all know you EF#mA I'll hide my fears and stand right by your side EF#mA As the whole world looks up at you EF#mA I hope that you stay shaven clean and somewhat sober EF#mA The bottle runs like water but to me it's all the same EF#mA So stay with me and be a father EF#mA And teach me how to read and write my name
CHORUS
E-A-E-A-B
AA/Ab And just when you think I am crazy shy and have no feelings F#m I'll look at you and slowly say your name AA/Ab And I'm thinking someday, maybe, I'll be just like you B And I'll never cry and I'll never be afraid
AA/AbF#m But not until all these things become clear AA/AbF#m Will I thank you for making all these things seem so clear AA/AbF#m Thank you for making all these things seem so clear
