fading away written in london, dec 2003.  originally this was titled 'the loss of london' but i decided to used that name on another piece, but the back drop for this piece is about the same as that one, excect that this piece feels a little more urgent.  its mostly about watching everybody leave london before me.  the first verse is about feeling bad for giving a friend a hard time.  the pace and feel to this piece was heavily influenced by a death cab for cutie song.
