Pete Droge
Pete Droge (born March 11, 1969) is an American alternative/folk rock musician from Vashon Island in Washington State's Puget Sound.
Droge was born in Seattle, Washington, and grew up Bainbridge Island.
1990s
In 1994, Droge released Necktie Second, his debut album which featured the tongue-in-cheek "If You Don't Love Me (I'll Kill Myself)" (which also appeared on the soundtrack to the film, Dumb and Dumber), as well as "Sunspot Stopwatch" and "So I am Over You".
In 1996, Droge released Find A Door, an album under the name of Pete Droge and The Sinners; his backing band included Dave Hull (bass), Rob Brill (drums), Peter Stroud (guitar/vocals) and Elaine Summers (guitar/vocals). This album met with critical success but received little airplay. Notable songs include "You Should Be Running", "Dear Diane" and "Mr. Jade". That same year, Droge contributed the title song to the film, Beautiful Girls.
In 1998, Droge released Spacey And Shakin', another solo album.
Other credits included contributions to albums by Kim Richey and Stone Gossard.

Hardest Thing To Do
by: Pete DrogeI got in late last night, my hotel room was stale and cold
I closed the blinds and looked for a movie
Turned up the heat and put the scotch on ice
Picked up the phone and I dialed your number
Felt a relief when I heard your voice
We talked for an hour, three hours difference
I could not sleep so I called you back
I'm not calling to say I love you
I'm not calling to say I care
I'm not calling to say I want you here
I think by now those things are clear to us both
But I tell you everyday, 'cause it makes me feel better babe
I woke up, the telephone was ringing
I thought it's be the housekeeper with a gripe
Then I heard your voice and it simply soothed me
Sayin' honey did you sleep all right
Are you calling to say you love me?
Are you calling to say you care?
Are you calling to say you want me there?
In your bed when you wake up
Well I do too, and I'll tell you everyday
'Cause it makes me feel better babe
