Love you / I love you most of all, my favorite vegetable. I'm gonna be 'round my vegetables, I'm gonna chop down my vegetables.
2.	Alley full of gemstones 02:55	lyrics	buy track
Got me workin' like a slave up until the crack of dawn. I've been up and down usin' up and down's for fun. Pass the time with the thoughts of another from a different time in life with a bowl of weed for food for thought. I'm rude and rotten, I only wear cotton for my feet to feel warm. If my feet are feelin' good, if my feet are feelin' good. <reversed vocals> Up and down he go, up and down we go, no. Up and down he go, up and down we go. You'll never know, Alexander Green. Alexander Green. And soon brilliant field will blow, with flowers. <feelin' good> <feelin' good> <feelin' good> <feelin' good> (oh) Up and down he go, up and down we go, no. Up and down he go, up and down we go. Know the truth if you're gonna speak it to the people, or make it up and preach it. Go preach it to the feeble cuz, Light is dark in an alley full of gemstones.
3.	Shovel 02:52	lyrics	buy track
You put the shovel in the ground. You're the one that says you can't come out. If you're the one that put me in this hole, then you're the one that's gonna pay with bones. You put the shovel in the ground. You're the one that says you can't come out. If you're the one that put me in this hole, then you're the one that's gonna pay with bones.

8.	Charles Parker 01:38	lyrics	buy track
Why do you want to work here? What are the reasons you want to work here? Ask yourself the question first. Why do you want to work there? It has to be more than just a job to you. And don't over do it. <what's going on here?!> One police officer and four others hospitalized after a foiled law enforcement sting operation goes terribly wrong. The afternoon of carnage ended with one of the suspects, later identified as one, Charles Parker. I've heard so much about this company.

about

Yankee is an original album by Chris Stahle. Chris Stahle takes all credit in writing every song, recording every song and producing every song. Chris Stahle also has all the rights to the photographs and has high resolution files available for purchase.

Chris Stahle is 21 years old and mainly composes for the classical guitar. All songs are adapted from the classical guitar. This is his first "electronic music" album and his last. Chris recommends that the album be listened to in the car or on speakers with an open mind. Chris produces what ever he hears in his head and moves on to the next idea. Chris Stahle will be moving into his "dance music meets nylon string guitar" tracks and his compositional tracks for classical guitar shortly after this album is released and then to his country folk tracks and singer-songwriter tracks. He doesn't believe it's right for a musician to limit himself to one genre.

Who does this album appeal to?
"This album appeals to creatives in any form, people that are tired of listening to normal, boring shit, and producers that understand the process of making this shit."

What do you want listeners to take away from this album?
"I want listeners to personify the sounds they're hearing and use them as a commentary on society. LOL, just share the tracks with your friends. Musicians are weird and get a high feeling when you talk nicely about their stuff."

Influences in no particular order
"Chet Atkins, Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Lapalux, Beatles, Chrome Sparks, the internet, dreams, events irl, Ball Park Music, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Beethoven, Mike Cosentino, Cat Power, Duke Ellington, Frank Ocean, Nirvana...can I stop?"

Can people buy hardcopies or Yankee-related gear?
"Yeah, if you want anything, email me at STAHLECHRIS@GMAIL.COM and i'll mail you whatever you want."
