NOLA (album)
NOLA is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Down, released on September 19, 1995 by Elektra Records. The title is the abbreviation for New Orleans (N.O.), Louisiana (LA).
Writing and recording
NOLA was written mainly by Phil Anselmo and Pepper Keenan between 1990 and 1995. Throughout 1991 to 1993 the band released three demos, a three-track demo (1991), a four-track demo (1992) and a ten-track demo (1993). Originally the band made the three-track demo for underground trading. The demo featured the tracks "Losing All", "Temptations Wings" and "Bury Me in Smoke". In an effort to build a fan base, the band would ask heavy metal fans if they had ever "heard of this band, Down" and hand them copies of the tape without telling the person that they were in the band. In 1992 the band recorded a second demo, this time featuring the same track listing as the original but with an intro. In 1993 the band made the Demo Collection 1992 - 1993 which is a ten-track demo featuring all the songs that would make the album cut except "Rehab", "Pray for the Locust" and "Underneath Everything". Anselmo solely wrote only three songs on the album ("Hail the Leaf", "Pray for the Locust" and "Pillars of Eternity"). Eventually, the original demo tape was distributed throughout the United States and Down played a small concert in its home town. A record executive from Elektra Records was attending the show. When he found out who the members of the band were, he signed Down to a recording contract. The band began recording the album in the summer of 1994 at the Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana and completed the recording sessions by January 1995.

Perfect
by: Liferat one time close now somehow far
no more oppression
no more scabs
to heal or pick open again
attention strayed from everything
i will never believe again
i don't think anything is true
is anything for certain
can't take the place of you
but it takes the place of nothing
when everything is perfect
why is everything so rotten?
it can't take the place of place of place of me in you
to think how some were wanting me
i'm close to something wrong to me
if i confess you'll lie to me
i think of something
wondering if i will ever believe again
i don't think anything is true
is anything for certain
can't take the place of you
but it takes the place of nothing
when everything is perfect
why is everything so rotten?
it can't take the place of place of place of me in you
as i walk away from you
how can I how can I
look at you when I feel this way now
how can I how can I
look at you when I'm pissed off somehow
how can I how can I
look at you when I feel this way now
how can I how can I
look at you when I'm pissed off some
how can I how can I
look at you when I feel this way now
how can I how can I
look at you when I'm pissed off somehow
somehow
