WHERE DOES LOVE GO
Alex Call- Brewman Music Inc.ASCAP/Mark Moffatt- /Jon Robbin
This song comes from an acoustic riff that I had floating around 
for a while. Jon Robbin and I were over at Mark Moffatt's studio 
writing and it just spilled out.The three of us have a very fluid 
and easy writing style. We may come up with four or five ideas 
each time we write - just by goofing around. Like they say, it's 
a great job! ( when the money's coming in, that is). I had to get 
a line in there about Highway 93, which goes past my cabin in western 
Montana. Bruce Bouton'slide stuff is fabulous, as is the Richenbacher 
12-string doubles layed down by Gene Ford. My wish? This would get 
released by a major label and get on the radio, so I could drive around 
making some dough and listening to myself.
Our light was brighter than the shadows of doubt
We had the kind of love singers love to sing about
Running in our veins, burnin’ in our bones
Wider than the Great Plains, carved in hard stone
but mountains fall down, and rivers run dry
Your heart changed on me and I’ll never know why
Now I see that love is blind
There’s only one question bangin’ around in my mind
Tell me, where does love go
Set like the sun, melted like the spring snow
Spittin’ out gravel out on highway 93
With the wind cryin out, ain’t no more you and me
Tell me
Where does love go
Where does love go
Where does love go
Where does love go
When it goes
Does it drive off in cars, does it go up in smoke
Is it yesterday’s news, or some kind of joke
Is it just some word you felt like you had to say
Why do I feel so bad now you’ve gone away
Where does love go

So tie me to the mast, set me on the sea
There’s no need to ask what’s become of me
Wherever love has gone, baby, that’s where I’m gonna be
You know, I’m gonna find it, I’m gonna find it
Tell me, where does love go
Set like the sun, melted like the spring snow
Behind the mirror in some looking-glass world
Where I used to see you and me, girl
Tell me
Where does love go
Where does love go
Where does love go
Where does love go
When it goes
Where does love go
MONEY’S GOT YOU
ALEX CALL & JON ROBBIN
SPIRIT MOUNTAIN MUSIC/615 356 8188/ASCAP Jan 2004
My Huey Lewis-style song. Money's on our minds all the time. It seems like such a rook. Here we have this one life to live and we have spend most of it paying the bills. Couple that with endless, grasping desire for more and more goodies, and there's your modern-day LaBrea Tarpit! Perhaps someday future paleontologists will unearth petrified yuppies clutching cell-phones, encased in bills and IRS notices. I love Jimmy Nichols B-3 parts and Gene's leads. I also think my acoustic riff is a bit of a good piece of work as well.
HE WORKS EIGHTY HOUR WEEKS THIRTEEN MONTHS A YEAR
HE’S ON A RUNAWAY MONEY TRAIN WITH NO ENGINEER
HE’S GOT TWO POINT SIX KIDS, HE CAN’T REMEMBER THEIR NAMES
HIS BOTTOM LINE IS GOING DOWN IN FLAMES
HE’S GONNA BUY IT ON CREDIT, BUY IT ON TIME
GONNA HAVE TO PAY IT OFF A DOLLAR ON A DIME
NO CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY, NO VACATION THIS SUMMER
HE’S WORKING OVERTIME TO FINANCE HIS HUMMER
CHECK’S IN THE MAIL, NEXT PAYMENT’S ALREADY DUE
YOU THINK YOU GOT MONEY, SONNY
SONNY, MONEY’S GOT YOU
SHE COMES DRIVIN DOWN THE STREET IN A BIG OL’ S-U-V
HANGIN ON TO THE WHEEL OVER WHICH SHE CAN BARELY SEE
SHE’S DYIN TO GET TO THE MALL, ‘CAUSE SHE WAS BORN TO SHOP
IT COSTS A LOT TO DRIVE THAT CAR
BUT IT REALLY GETS EXPENSIVE WHEN SHE STOPS
SHE’S GONNA BUY IT ON CREDIT, BUY IT ON TIME
GONNA HAVE TO PAY IT OFF A DOLLAR ON A DIME
SHE CAN KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES, THERE’S NO DOUBT
IT’S THOSE UPPITY SMITHS THAT SHE’S WORRIED ABOUT
SHE’S GOT FRENCH BOTTLED WATER, ITALIAN RUNNING SHOES
YOU THINK YOU GOT MONEY, HONEY
HONEY, MONEY’S GOT YOU
ORDINARY JOE THINKS HE’S DOIN ALRIGHT
LONG AS HE’S GOT SOMETHING FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT
BUT THE TV’S GOIN, TRANSMISSION JUST BLEW
HE TURNS TO ORDINARY JANE AND SAYS
“WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?”
BUY IT ON CREDIT, BUY IT ON TIME
GONNA HAVE TOP PAY IT OFF A DOLLAR ON A DIME
YOUR MANSION IS A TRAILER, YOUR CAR IS A WRECK
THAT BLUE-COLLAR CHECK IS CHOKIN YOU TO DEATH
YOU’RE UP THAT MUDDY CREEK WITH NO CANOE
YOU THINK YOU GOT MONEY
MONEY’S GOT YOU

FREEDOM’S SUCH A LONELY WORD
Alex Call/ Jon Robbin
A pretty song - the first song John Robbin and I ever wrote (we're up to 80 or so now). It's supposed to be a female song, but I sing it better than anyone else, so...Kind of a true story for me, though not really: I twisted it around. And anyway, it's ancient history. I wanted Faith Hill to cut this - so if anyone knows Faith Hill, please get it to her, OK?.
I took the only road
I could have taken back then
I made the hardest choice
And I’d do the same thing again
Leavin’ you wasn’t easy, baby
But it was the only way
Now I do what I want
I go where I please
I don’t answer to anybody but me
I’m livin’ the life
I’ve always known I deserved
Oh, but the longer I’m free
The more I find
baby, sometimes
Freedom is such a lonely word
I would have stayed with you
That’s just the way I’m made inside
But I couldn’t live up to
The image of me you had in your mind
A piece of your perfect puzzle
That just wasn’t me
Now I do what I want
I go where I please
I don’t answer to anybody but me
I’m livin’ the life
I’ve always known I deserved
Oh, but the longer I’m free
The more I find
baby, sometimes
Freedom is such a lonely word
Oh, but the longer I’m free
The more I find
baby, sometimes
Freedom is such a lonely word
867-5309/Jenny
Alex Call/ Jim Keller
Ah, the famous song. Why, after all the songs I written over the years, why is this the one with legs? Perhaps it's best if I don't get an answer to that quuetion. Let's just say, whoopie! Glad it's still going. About the creation : I came up with the basic thing in my backyard, under a nice plum tree. I was looking for four chords I hadn't heard before. The progression's twist is that it turns around on the two-chord instead of the expected five. That provides the tension in the riff. The little intro guitar lick just mirrors that - it worked out nicely. Anyway, Jim Keller, lead guitar and co-founder of Tommy Tutone, came over to my little rat-powered 4-track studio back one afternoon in 1981. I had the track going, guitar lick and all, plus the name and number. But I was such a dumb-ass that I didn't know what the song was about. Jim listened and said, " Al, it's a girl's number on a bathroom wall!"... Of course it was! We laughed and finished the lyrics in twenty minuts or so and took the casstte back to my house in Mill Valley, where my then wife, Dede (who could really tell a hit), danced around the kitchen to it. I never thought it would be keeping me alive twenty years later. There have been a lot of stories about this one. My favorite is one I've been told several times by different " Jennies", who used the name and number as the brush-off for obnoxious romeos. Glad to know the song has some redeeming social qualities. The Tutone guys have always said there was a real Jenny, but if I had told that story, she would have been a six-foot-four black transvestite who stole my wallet and then became an aide to Dick Cheney.
This was recorded live on my mini-disc at the Bluebird in a round hosted by Ron Hellard and featuring Buzz Cason and Chris Whallin.
Jenny Jenny, you’re the girl for me
You don’t know me but you make me so happy
I know you think I’m like the others before
Who saw your name and number up on the wall
Jenny, I’ve got your number
I’m gonna make you mine
Jenny, I’ll call that number
867-5309, 867-5309
jenny, jenny, I dreamed that I held you
and gave you somethin’ you could hold on to
I tried to call you before, but I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed
Jenny, I’ve got your number
I’m gonna make you mine
Jenny, don’t change that number
867-5309, 867-5309
I got it, I got it
I got your number on the wall
I got it, I got it
For a good time, for a good time call
867-5309, 867-5309
jenny jenny, who can I turn to
for the price of a dime, I can always turn to you
867-5309. 867-5309
NO PLACE FOR HATE
Alex Call / Jon Robbin
This one had to come out of me. I am so sickened by the pettiness of nationalism, religion, racism, and all the all the non-existent divisions between people that drive individuals and nations to slaughter! Wherever I've gone in the world, I've encountered the same basic condtions of life: families, friends, and communities. People eat food, wear clothes, work, and have sex (sometimes!)The differences between cultures are so cosmetic that I can't begin to understand what incites idiots to hijack them as vehicles for killing. Take our DNA, for example: the percentage of chromasomes that are the same in each human being total over 98.5%. Yet we kill each other over 1.5% of differences( hair,skin, eye color, etc). As for religion: all religions are basically the same. Humans have a need to express themselves "spiritually". It's just like eating food. Would we go to war or fly airplanes into buildings because someone eats burritos instead low mein? Absurd. yet, that's the way it is. But when we really, really examine the concepts that power this mayhem, we find that concepts themselves have no substance. They are thin air , imaginings of the mind. We kill over mental contructs that have no true reality. It's crazy. We're crazy. When Alice stopped to ask directions of the Cheshire Cat, the cat told her she may take one way, " But the Red Queen is there, and she's out of her head", or the other, " but the Mad Hatter is that way, and he's mad!" Alice said, " I wouldn't like to go among mad people.", whereat the Cat replied, " But you're mad too, otherwise you would be here!" I guess you can just call me Alice Call, thank you very much! Jimmy Nichols blows one away here with his string parts, and Gene Ford's electric leads on the end are postively blazeworthy. The Herricks sing BV's on the end
There are brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers,
uncles and aunts, sons and daughters
Grandmas and grandpas, cousins and in-laws,
people we’re close to, lovers and friends
there are neighbors and grocers, plumbers and teachers
policemen and bakers, busy shopkeepers
firemen, doctors, lawyers, and preachers
so many people on whom we depend
but there are no Argentineans, no Palestinians, no Chinese, no Burmese, no Americans
no Hutus, no Tutsis, no Irish, no Greeks, no Russians, Koreans, Israelis, or Germans
no Pakistanis, no French or Afghanis, no English, Italians, Iraqis, Somalis
no highjacked menace, no barbed-wire fences
no boundaries, no borders, no states
there’s no place for hate
there’s no place for hate
there are hunters and fishermen, builders and sailors,
cabdrivers , waitresses, weavers, and tailors
ditch diggers, carpenters, homemakers, farmers
puttin’ food on the table, workin’ the land
there are poets and dreamers, singers and dancers
utopian thinkers, hopeless romancers
heroes and helpers, givers and healers
people who hold the whole world in their hands
but there’re no Buddhists, no Moslems, no Catholics, no Protestants
no Sikhs or Atheists, Hindus, or Jews
no black-white-brown-red-yellow, no Yankees, no Rebels
no need to hurt those who don’t share your views
no sacred Fatherland, no promised Holy land
no reason to kill anyone for God’s sake
there’s no place for hate
there’s no place for hate
there are brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers
uncles and aunts, sons and daughters
but there’s no place for hate
no place for hate
CANYONLANDS
ALEX CALL / JUSTIN SMITHv
The first song Justin Smith and I wrote. We're both westerners (talk about cultural distinctions), and we got into talking about the glorious natural architecture of the West - the canyons, mountains, etc. The parable of the heart getting lost and the river carving its way out of solid stone tumbled out. If you've never been to the Four Corners region of the Southwest, I urge you to get in your car and start driving. The wide-open spaces will set your mind flying. There are lessons to be learned from looking at all the eroded sandstone. For one thing, for all that erosion, it looks the same way now as it did when the first humans evolved. Of course, if you don't believe in evolution, then, as the Red Queen said, off with your head! Justin is a fine singer and writer who will someday have a record deal worthy of his talents, I hope.
ON THE ROAD HEADING NORTH OUT OF MOAB
YOU CAN SEE FOR A THOUSAND MILES
I GOTTA PUT ON MY SUNGLASSES
AS THE SUN SETS THE RED ROCKS ON FIRE
GOING INTO A DEEP DESERT CANYON
A TUMBLED DOWN GREAT WORK OF ART
SHADOWS LIE ACROSS THE CLIFFS
SHADOWS LIE ACROSS MY HEART
I SEE A RAVEN WITH JET BLACK WINGS RIDIN FREE ON THE RISING WIND
I SEE A RIVER TRYIN TO BREAK OUT OF A PRISON WITH A THOUSAND BENDS
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME
I'M TRYIN TO UNDERSTAND
BUT BABY, MT HEART IS LOST IN THESE CANYONLANDS
THERE’S AN EMPTY BED BACK IN DURANGO
WHERE WE HELD ON TO OUR DREAMS
THE WHISPERED ONES THAT BROUGHT US TOGETHER
THE UNSPOKEN ONES THAT CAME IN BETWEEN
I SEE A PICTURE OF TWO PEOPLE IN LOVE, FOREVER RIGHT IN THEIR HANDS
I SEE A NOTE ON THE COUNTER THAT READ I’M SORRY BUT THIS IS THE END
OH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME
I’M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
BUT BABY, MY HEART IS LOST IN THESE CANYONLANDS
MAYBE SOME DAY I’L FORGET YOU
MY HEART WILL REACH THE SEA
THESE CANYONS WILL END AND I WILL BE FREE
OH BUT I SEE A JOURNEY OF NO RETURN
HEADING AROUND THE NEXT BEND
COME ON MIGHTY RIVER, SWEEP ME AWAY, I DON’T CARE IF I GET OUT OF HERE AGAIN
OH WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME
IT’S TOO SOON TO UNDERSTAND
CAUSE BABY, MY HEART IS LOST IN THESE CANYONLANDS
BABY, MY HEART IS LOST IN THESE CANYONLANDS
BABY, MY HEART IS LOST IN THESE CANYONLANDS
THE GOOD FIGHT
Alex Call/Justin Smith
Another Justin Smith co-write. I wish I could always live up to the message of this one. It's easy to get discouraged in this world, in these times. But we have to fight the good fight - it's the only fight we've got! I play the e-bow parts here.. go, Al, go!
There’s always been somebody ready to let me go
Never had anyone who could understand
Always been somebody ready to tell me no
Never had anyone tell me that I can
There’s always been somebody willin’ to watch me fall
Never had anyone so kind and true
Always found a reason to slam into a brick wall
But I never had anyone worth fightin’ for ‘till you
I’m gonna fight the good fight
I’m gonna give it all I’ve got for the rest of my life
I’ll try to be strong, try to be your guiding light
Admit when I am wrong, stand up for what is right
The world comes at us with sorrow
But I’ll hold on to you forever like there’s no tomorrow
As long as you’re with me, I know love is on my side
I’m gonna fight the good fight
There’ll always be somebody ready to knock you down
Never be afraid to look life in the eye
There’ll always be somebody ready to count you out
Never give up, never say die
I’m gonna fight the good fight
I’m gonna give it all I’ve got for the rest of my life
I’ll try to be strong, try to be your guiding light
Admit when I am wrong, stand up for what is right
The world comes at us with sorrow
But I’ll hold on to you forever like there’s no tomorrow
As long as you’re with me, I know love is on my side
I’m gonna fight the good fight
I’m gonna fight the good fight
I’m gonna give it all I’ve got for the rest of my life
As long as you’re with me, I know love is on my side
I’m gonna fight the good fight
REMEMBER ME
ALEX CALL/ ANGELA KASET
When I brought this chorus to Angela Kaset, the Goddess of All, I was very nervous. We had written a song before, but I wasn't sure she would go for this. Fortunately, she did. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. We had it cut by an artist named Rebecca del Rio, who had it on hold for year and a half. Rebecca told me that the album was coming out " next month", then she was dropped. (then Tim McGraw came out with Rodney Crowel's 'please remember me' - a great, great song.) But someday, I hope that a major artist will get this one out. Great Steel by Bruce B., lovely keys by Jimmy N.
REMEMBER ME
I’M THE NUMBER YOU DON’T CALL NO MORE
REMEMBER ME
I’M THE LETTER IN YOUR BOTTOM DRAWER
THAT SAID YOU LIED
I CAN’T FORGET THIS TIME
REMEMBER ME
WHEN THE SUN BEATS IN YOUR BLUE BEDROOM
REMEMBER ME
WHEN ALL THAT’S LEFT IS A SAD PERFUME
AND YOU LIE ALONE
ANOTHER NIGHT HAS COME AND GONE
WHEN YOU’RE HURTIN, YOUR HEART IS BROKEN
AND YOU CAN’T SLEEP ‘CAUSE YOU CAN’T STOP CRYIN
WHEN YOU’RE LONELY
WHEN YOU’RE LONELY
BABY, WHEN YOU’RE LONELY
REMEMBER ME
I’M THE ONE WHO WAS YOUR DANCIN FOOL
REMEMBER ME
I’M THE ONE WHO WOULD HAVE DIED FOR YOU
YOUR TRUE BLUE FRIEND ‘TILL THE BITTER END
WHEN YOU’RE HURTIN, YOUR HEART IS BROKEN
AND YOU CAN’T SLEEP ‘CAUSE YOU CAN’T STOP CRYIN
WHEN YOU’RE LONELY
WHEN YOU’RE LONELY
BABY, WHEN YOU’RE LONELY
REMEMBER ME
YEAH, WHEN YOU’RE LONELY
REMEMBER ME
WHEN YOU NEED A DANCIN’ FOOL
REMEMBER ME
LIKE I’M REMEMBERING YOU
LONELY
OH, SO LONELY
EVERYBODY’S STANDING ON THEIR HEADS
ALEX CALL
I had this dream; I wrote this song. Unfortunately, I was awake when I had the dream, and it's still going - on and on. Republicans hate this song. That makes me glad. Unbelivable keys by Jimmy, humongous leads by Gene, and a pretty clever chord progression/acoustic part by old Al hisseff.
WOKE UP THIS MORNING IN MY BED
CRAZY DREAM STILL IN MY HEAD
GOT UP AND WALKED INTO TOWN
BUT EVERYONE WAS UPSIDE DOWN
SHOES ON THEIR HEADS, HATS ON THEIR FEET
LIKE IN A PAINTING BY MAGRITTE
(chorus)
EVERYWHERE I GO, EVERYONE I SEE
EVERYBODY’S STANDING ON THEIR HEADS
EVERYONE ELSE, EVERY ONE BUT ME
EVERYBODY’S STANDING ON THEI HEADS
UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT
THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD IS ALL ABOUT
IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING DEAD
EVERYBODY’S STANDING ON THEIR HEADS
WAR IS PEACE, FEAR IS HOPE
BACKWARDS IS FORWARD, CLEAR IS SMOKE
GREED IS GOOD, COMPASSION BLOWS
THEY WALK ON THEIR TEETH, SMILE THROUGH THEIR TOES
(REPEAT CHORUS)
HOW DID THIS TURN INTO A MIRROR IMAGE WORLD
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF HONESTY & GRAVITY
AND HOW CAN I FIND SOME WAY TO FLIP THAT SWITCH
OR FAILING THAT, GET SOME BOOTS THAT FIT
ON MY WEARY BRAIN
THERE IN THE DISTANCE DO I SEE
SOMEONE ELSE STANDING UP LIKE ME
SLOWLY WAKING TO THIS DREAM
ON OUR FEET, WE START TO SCREAM
(REAPEAT CHORUS)
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
ALEX CALL AND ANGELA KASET
A song that will someday be a standard wedding song. Once again, I had the basic chorus and Angela wove her magic spell around it. My Love and Only Lisa Carrie sings the duet with me . Lisa has a great CD of her own, produced by Andrew Gold. It will soon available. Lisa sang backup for years with Hall of Fame artist Eddie Arnold (she and Eddie did a duet on "Let it be Me" on Eddie's last Curb record), as well as ainging with Micky Gillie, Wayne Newton(!!!), and Charlie Louvin (on the Opry). She's way better than most of the women one hears on the airwaves - she should be out there singing now.
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
INTO THE LONELY
UNDER A STARLESS SKY
WITH NO ONE AND ONLY
LOVE TO LAST
AS THE YEARS PASS BY
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
INTO THE HEARTACHE
WHERE ALL THE SWEET DREAMS LIE
WAITING FOR DAYBREAK
ALL ALONE
WITH NO LOVE IN SIGHT
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
HERE
I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M FINALLY HERE
YOU MADE THE DARKNESS DISAPPEAR
FROM THIS SAD AND LONELY LIFE
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
INTO THE LONELY
WITH NO ONE AND ONLY
LOVE TO LAST
AS THE YEARS PASS BY
THERE WHERE NO LOVE GROWS
WHERE THE COLD WIND BLOWS
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
THERE BUT FOR YOU GO I
WHEN
Alex Call / John Keller
John Keller and I wrote this song on 9-10-2001. We got done, and wondered what the song was all about - why we had come up with such a sad theme. The next day..well, we know what the next day was. Later, it became clear that this song was about, or for, those who had lost loved ones on that day. But it could be about anyone anywhere in this world who loses someone. we never know what's going to happen, do we?
Jimmy plays his proverbial bee-hind off, and Bruce adds lovely steel.
I never dreamed you would just go away
I always believed we’d have another day
The morning you left was just like all the rest
Now all I have is my faith that Heaven knows best
When
The sun lifts up the dawn
And I know I must go on
I think of you
when all the tears I cry
finally heal the sky
my heart will live again
when
from out of nowhere, baby, I found you
through one of the countless doors life could have pushed me through
the moment we met was like no other one
at last in my lonely life, I’d finally found my one
when
I hear children laugh
When Fall’s leaves tumble down the path
I’ll think of you
When all the tears I cry
finally heal the sky
My heart will live again
When
Every day seems like an eternity
I reach out across time
But you’re not here with me
When
The first grass starts to show
Through the last of the Spring snow
You’ll be gone
when all the tears I cry
finally heal the sky
My heart will live again
When
When
I can see it from here
Huey Lewis/ Alex Call
Huey Lewis came to me with this idea. He had most of the lyrics written. I put them to music and added some bits here and there. What's funny is that it's such a traditional country song. You'd think old rockers such as we are would be more, er.. rockin'... But actually, Huey and I both have listened to a lot of older country music. We used to share a rental house in Mill valley years ago ( boy, did we have some fun parties there!)and there might have been Donny Hathaway or Johnny Guitar Watson on the stereo( yes, there were stereo record players way back then), but also Bob Wills, or Merle Haggard. We were great buddies with Asleep at the Wheel and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. Clover would cover, from time to time, when we needed to, Merle and James Brown in the same set. So it's not that strange. We both have places in Montana(Huey has a bigger yard, to say the least!), and we're both outdoorsmen. we love country music. Where did it go?
Now, I’ve got problems, big and small
But I’ve got old friends to help me through it all
with so many lonely people, in a world that’s so hard
We’ve got each other, two kids running in the yard
Here on the back porch in the evening, it gets real clear
I know this ain’t Heaven – but I can see it from here
Way up in the mountains, looking on a lake so still
I can’t help but think of those who never will
There’s So little kindness, so much misery
So many different kinds of people longing to be free
Lying back looking at the stars, the sky above so clear
I know this ain’t heaven
but I can see it from here
and when I look in your eyes
I see an angel in my life
This may not be Heaven, but whenever you’re near
I can see it from here
In a world of sorrow, poverty and pain
Sometimes I get to thinking we’re goin down the drain
But you show up, you cheer me up
You show me that you care
Step by step together baby, we’re gonna get there
Here on the back porch in the moonlight
It gets real clear
I know this ain’t Heaven,
but I can see it from here
and when I look in your eyes
I see an angel in my life
This may not be Heaven, but whenever you’re near
I can see it from here… I can see it from here
