Song information
An original. All instruments by me. Couldn't figure out how to play the castanets I bought in Spain the way the flamenco dancers there played them. So, I fastened them onto a stick and raked them across the cooking grill. :-). My intent was to add a spaghetti-western vibe to the song, after listening to a lot of Calexico and Ennio Morricone. It is what it is.

Lyrics
Nothing Dumber (than keeping your number on my smartphone) 
V1. There's nothing dumber 
Than your number			
There's nothing dumber than keeping your number
On my smartphone
Now you have moved on,
And everything of yours is gone
But this photo
And this number on my phone. 
V2. We always fought 
I know I ought not miss you
You'd get distraught
At the thought that I might kiss you.
You said that I must make do
And find somebody new, who
Can put up with all the things I do
Bridge 
Too much wine, Gotta try to find the right line home.
Keep scrolling and swiping with nothing to show.
All you got is a phone when you’re all alone. 
V1 (Again) There's nothing dumber 
Than your number 			
There's nothing dumber than keeping your number	
On my smartphone
Now you have moved on,
And everything of yours is gone
But this photo
And this number on my phone.

Love the energy in this song, and the castanets anecdote too (!) ... Very cool guitar ending. The music coming from Tucson, AZ is probably the one i listened to the most in the last years (Giant Sand, XIXA, Calexico, Brian Lopez, etc ...). So i guess it must be infused/embedded in my ears somehow ...

Thanks so much, Dyl, TrebleFace, and Smileygeezer, for those kind words!
Dyl, I love Calexico and Giant Sand (and also the post-rock "supergroup" with members of both called Friends of Dean Martinez). I'll have to check out those others you mentioned.
