about

Kristie Stremel
2000
"The Detour EP"
This 6-song offering was recorded on a shoestring budget. Since the Frogpond and Exit 159 records, four years in smoky bars and loud, distorted guitars… this was the first time Kristie put down the electric guitar and traded it for a Taylor acoustic guitar.

released 30 August 2000

Track Name: What Gives
“What Gives”
Written by Kristie Stremel
Recorded and Performed by Kristie Stremel, Exit 159, The One59ers

Say I'm all right, everything is cool and okay
So turn out the light, Watch my world slowly slip away
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get

So what gives? - Yeah What Gives
Oh I've been damned

Say I'm okay, but nothing ever seemed to go my way
So hold on tight, this is gonna be one hell of a ride
When everything’s in everyone and if it starts to come undone
I would never find my way to you
When everything is said and done, I could never be that strong
I would never be that cool to you
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get

So what gives? - Yeah What Gives?
Oh what gives? - Yeah what gives?
Oh I've been damned

(solo)

So what gives? So what gives? So what gives? So what gives?
When everything’s in everyone and if it starts to come undone
I would never find my way to you
When everything is said and done, will I ever be that strong
I would never be that cool to you
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get
With everything I try so hard, and this is what I get
So what gives? - Yeah What Gives?
Oh what gives? - Yeah what gives?
Oh I've been damned. Oh I've been damned
Oh I've been damned. Oh I’ve been...
Track Name: Easiest Thing
Baby you were so right, I fell right to sleep
When I woke up, you were next to me
I’ve been wasting my time, trying to fix everything
All this weight on my back, it was hard for me

This is the easiest thing, this is the easiest thing
This is the easiest thing I’ve ever done

City to city I go, radio stations, the shows
And the heat in the van it won’t work, and I’m so cold
Yeah we’ve been driving all night, and somebody’s picking a fight
I’m in the back seat tonight just laughing, and laughing

Cause this is the easiest thing, this is the easiest thing
This is the easiest thing I’ve ever done

(guitar solo)

Baby you were so right, I fell right to sleep
When I woke up, you were next to me

This is the easiest thing, this is the easiest thing
This is the easiest thing I’ve ever done
Track Name: Strong
I’m moving my things more than I move you anymore
Can’t hardly sleep in my bed, so I sleep on the floor
When will I hold your hand and when will I understand?

Wouldn’t believe what I’ve done while you were away
I thought that I would give up, but I made it today
I want to hold your hand, I want to understand

It’s a strong wind that keeps me away from you
It’s a long way, but I know what I can do
It’s a cold one you keep me walking through
It’s a strong wind that keeps me away from you

(guitar interlude)

Where did you go, where are you? Hey, how have you been?
I was just thinking how you were my very best friend
Yeah there’s nothing to understand, I just want to hold your hand

It’s a strong wind that keeps me away from you
It’s a long way, but I know what I can do
It’s a cold one you keep me walking through
It’s a strong wind that keeps me away from you

It’s a strong wind that keeps me away from you
It’s a long way, but I know what I can do
It’s a cold one, you keep me walking through
It’s a strong wind that keeps me away from you
Track Name: White Trash Ballad
I guess that you, yeah, you didn’t know
And I guess that I never said so
I’m packing my things; yeah it’s time to go
The band is waiting hey pick up the phone

Cause I feel like a dirt red liar trying to steal your heart from him
Hey I want to be the one to hold you, got to feel that love you give, do it again

Everything’s changing, it’s going slow
And this reputation, well I have to hold
But I want to tell you everything
I want to be your everything

Cause I feel like a dirt red liar trying to steal your heart from him
Hey I want to be the one to hold you, got to feel that love you give, do it again

(guitar solo)

Cause I feel like a dirt red liar trying to steal your heart from him
Hey I want to be the one to hold you, got to feel that love you give, do it again

Cause I feel like a dirt red liar trying to steal your heart from him
Hey I want to be the one to hold you, got to feel that love you give, do it again
I do it again, hell yes
Track Name: Claire's Song
Hey I know that we just met, haven’t heard your story yet, it’s new
It’s permanent it won’t come off, stuck me didn’t hurt at all, it’s true

I kind of like being with you

Oh, it’s such a lazy day, do you want to go and play, I do
Man, this is my favorite song, yeah I put my glass on for you

Cause I kind of like being with you
I kind of like being with you
I kind of like being with you

(guitar solo)

I should have left a couple hours ago, cause this party starts at two
I should be leaving, should be ready to go, I wish I could make this true

Cause I kind of like being with you
I kind of like being with you
I really love being with you
Track Name: Jump With You
Gonna make some money and marry you
That’s what I’ll do
Gonna do the things I didn’t do
Like dance with you

You know I will, you know I still
Am reaching for your hand
And maybe I’ve got nothing to prove
But jump with you

And you can do anything
Like someone on a movie screen
And I could fall anywhere
Cause I know you’d be there

You know I will, you know I still
Am reaching for your hand
And baby I’ve got nothing to lose
But jump with you

And there’s water below us
And friends all around
We don’t have to look up
We don’t have to look down
Everything’s changing, but god, yeah,
I still feel the same
I’m reaching for your hand
I’m getting real close
Everything’s different
I’m losing control
I don’t know where this will stop
But does it have an end?

I’d jump with you
I jump with you
