I'm in need. ("Everything that ever was.", 15th Anniversary Edition, 2005/2020.)

"Long-running Indianapolis musician Tim Brickley worked on 'Everything' until he got it right. Opening track 'Reckless With Love' explodes as a modern descendant of Bruce Springsteen's 'Rosalita' and Tom Petty's 'American Girl', so that track can keep a listener occupied a long time before he or she moves on to the rest of the album. What follows is both cosmic and grounded, alternately poignant ('We Were High') and quite funny ('Without You I'm Just Screwed'). In terms of "heartland" rock, no Hoosier made it better than this in 2005." DAVID LINDQUIST, INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 2.2.2006.

 

I’M IN NEED

(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)

 

Tell me what I don’t want to hear.

Whisper treacherously in my ear.

Hold up your mirror so painfully clear.

 

    I’m in need, I’m in need.

    I’m in need, I’m in need.

    I’m in need and I can’t breathe

    and need some reason to believe I’m in need.

 

Hold me down with all your might.

Make me angry, c’mon let’s fight.

Push any button I let in your sight.

 

    I’m in need, I’m in need.

    I’m in need, I’m in need.

    I’m in need and I can’t breathe

    and need some reason to believe I’m in need.

 

Tell me what I don’t want to hear.

Whisper treacherously in my ear.

Can you make it like I just can’t never,

oh yeah I believe that

 

    I’m in need, I’m in need.

    I’m in need, I’m in need.

    I’m in need and I can’t breathe

    and need some reason to believe I’m in need.
