This video, just in. From the 2011 Steve Ball Sketch Box, CD 1: Song Sketches.
A tribute to a person who left early and unnecessarily.

everything means something to me (backward)
I won't fight the candlelight
kettle's on but all's not right
hear your voice but heard you're gone
that can't be your voice is on
wait a sec -- I know that song
ben affleck or matt damon?
unknown guys with knowing script
voice seems strong but ill-equipped
I could swear I know these lines
gentle singer's northwest whines
songs with shadows stains and signs
is it possible to blame
slim's ironic label name
who thought you'd be built then spilled
hunting's darling rockstar's killed
hard to blame your circumstance
at least celine was trained to dance
margaret said you’re pre-disposed
heart wide open, case is closed
I won't shed a drunken tear
drown my loss in corporate beer
though you're gone it's like you're here
there's your voice, it's on the air
in that soundtrack everywhere
keep your needle, keep your hay
nothing left to sing or say
none could hold a light to you
courtney, kurt, or mary lou
you'll join heaven's greatest band or
play hell's endless one night stand
trade in all your songs for knives
and empty words of wasted lives
everything means something to me
