Biography:
Strand of Oaks is the rock project of American songwriter and producer Timothy Showalter.
In 2003, Showalter's house burned down, his fiancée left him, and he resorted to writing songs on an acoustic guitar while living on park benches in suburban Philadelphia. Those events informed the entirety of his arresting debut, Leave Ruin , an album about loss and brokenness and lack of faith. But as affecting as it was, Showalter is leery of being stuck in the past.

Sounds better if you throw in a bunch of Cadd9's during the C's and a bunch of Asus's

I drank myself to sleep
C Am
Every night of last week

Then I walked to the Boscov's store

To buy a case of Crazy Horse

Then I dreamt I stayed in the Sterling

In the same bed as Kennedy

Would ride up the mainline

Then the last stop's in Carbondale

Where John once found some German tale

And his Irish and German son

And he told me everything that I knew we'd both been feeling

Just to get some company

That's where I drank myself to sleep

Just to get some company
