Installment #12. A few days late, but here it is nonetheless.

This song's inception traces back to a couple of weeks ago and involved several glasses of wine, good company and staying up way the hell too late.

Names are omitted to protect the (somewhat) innocent. Daanon on the other hand, is guilty as hell.

Of course, this song is nothing like what we were talking about writing the song about. But I kept at least a mention of the cow.

Not my most inspired piece, but hopefully worth a chuckle. And who knows, it might remind you of somebody you know.

Take it easy,

Demagogue

This is called Demagogue. I've been kicking it around for a while. I'd rather not get political (and this was not written about who most people on either side of the fence would assume it's about anyway) so just listen and judge as you will.

Note: At time of posting, the video hadn't finished processing in Youtube yet, so if it's not working, give it like half an hour and try again.

Take it easy,

Music City

Newtons' first law:

An object in motion tends to stay in motion

An object at rest tends to stay at rest

Unless acted upon by an outside force.

Rather than take a bye for the week after being sick on Thursday, better to push on and not lose momentum with the songwriting. Loss of momentum is the Muse-killer. I will face my slowing momentum and let it pass through me.

Or something.

On a completely unrelated note, this is called Music City. It was inspired by a friend of the band (and then all sorts of fictitious stuff was added because I don't know the rest of the real story).

Hope you like it.

Take it easy,

Precipice

I was cleaning out some old files over the weekend, and in addition to finding a bunch of old band recordings I thought were lost forever, I stumbled upon this song I had written back in college (I think I played it once at the open mic at Ruby Tuesday).

It was mostly crap (which was why I hadn't ever played it again) except that I still liked the chorus. So I rewrote it around the choruses, gave it a little bit different direction, and it became a song that I really like. Judge for yourself:

It ended up being sort of a "leap of faith" song.

It sort of needs a bridge, but for a rough draft I'm pretty happy with it.

As always, comments are welcomed.

Take it easy,

Seth
