No Theme Week

Today’s song is another one I wrote somewhat recently. Back at the end of April. It’s kinda not about anything, except that I pulled the repeating chorus line from a newspaper article. It was something about some opinion poll about something that I can’t really remember, but the majority of those that responded said they agreed “almost always or most of the time.”

I thought that was funny.

Now, it could be that this is a song about someone else. One that I’m singing to someone else. One about how I’ll lend them a hand just about any time for just about any thing. But the more I listen to it the more I think I was just writing and singing to myself.

It’s autobiographical.

So there.

If I remember correctly, “Almost Always” took about 13 minutes to write out completely and I don’t think I changed anything from the original. I wouldn’t recommend this. I’ve also not yet played this song out live because I neglected it and didn’t learn it. Just let it get caught up in some dust.

Now that I’ve got some time off from the Barehand Jugband (our next show isn’t until 9/11 at Quenchers), and I’m free from having to work on CD albums, since they’re out and for sale everywhere, I’ve got some time to really learn a few of these songs that either didn’t make the cut for either album, or that I’ve written in the past 2 months and were too new to get on the albums.

Anyway…
