From the recording Independence Vol 1; demos and outtakes
"Love Aint No Good", mixes two of my favorite musical styles. There is a bit of an R&B shake and groove, mixed with some old school psychedelic fuzz. Since this was the first time, after Pilot called it quits, that I was able to assemble a bunch of friends together to jam. I had a good time recording this tune. hree guys in the ensemble, Sam, John and Aaron were members of Frequency db; a band I produced during the previous two years. penned the lyrics on a scorching hot day when I was stuck in one of Seattle's famous traffic jams.

Lyrics
Love Ain’t No Good
It’s only rain washing down over our heads
Let the rain carry you away my friend
This range of emotion are the rays of light
My cynical brother I hope we’re gonna be alright
But you don’t love and you think
That it ain’t no good
In this animation not all the colors you see are true
With a little patience you can learn to see right through
But what we want ain’t always clear
So what I hope for is that we rise from this despair
But you don’t love and we think
That love is no good
And we think love is no good
Love is no good
Its only rain washing down over my head
Let the rain carry you away instead
And watch this love wash everyone free
I know your lonely so open up your heart and see
But you don’t love and you think
That love is no good
