On this track PFTW throws you yet another curve. This track has everything in it including a cello solo.
Stereo Serenade is the ninth track on With Baited Breath. It’s an anti-love song. A song about a break-up. A song about betrayal wrapped in a sweet-sounding melody highlighted by the beautiful-but-sad cello performance by Worm Bassist Steve Brown
Poised for the Worm’s Stereo Serenade really captured the moment, and when the song ended my mind kept playing it. I love the time changes, lyrics, melody.

Lyrics:
It was cold where they sat, that night
On the coldest night in June
He looked at her sad, uptight
Then looked back up to the moon
He couldn’t believe, it was over
It couldn’t have been so soon
When he told her, he was leaving
And she did not have a clue
Then she asked him, if he believed her
On the coldest night in June
I’ve been waiting, for the summer
So it would not seem so cool
But I’ve been playing, with another
Oh the bitter sound’s so cruel
He took off that night, by train
On the bullet to the moon
She went out like a light, in the rain
On the coldest night in June
She couldn’t believe, it was over
So soon
When he told her, he was leaving
But she did not have a clue
And she asked him, if he believed her
On the coldest night in June
I’ve been waiting, for the summer
So it would not seem so cool
But I’ve been playing, with another
Oh the bitter sound’s so cruel
The bitter sound’s so cruel
Ooh
The bitter sound’s so cruel
When he told her, he was leaving
But she did not have a clue
And she asked him, if he believed her
On the coldest night in June
I’ve been waiting, for the summer
So it would not seem so cool
But I’ve been playing, with another
Oh the bitter sound’s so…
When he told her, he was leaving
But she did not have a clue
And she asked him, if he believed her
On the coldest night in June
I’ve been waiting, for the summer
So it would not seem so cool
But I’ve been playing, with another
Oh the bitter sound’s so cruel
The bitter sound’s so cruel
Ooh
The bitter sound’s so cruel
