Here’s the new song for this week. Started it Sunday night and finished it up on Monday and Tuesday on the train.
This one’s kinda more a gospel tune, I supposed, although, I’m not entirely sure what it’s all about. Parts of it I know for sure, other parts I don’t.
What parts do you know for sure?
Hey, I’ve done 50 of these talkin’ blues full of silly headlines from cnn.com. How many have you listened to?
I’m postponing the new song for today, mainly because I didn’t get a chance to record my new one last night. But more importantly because I didn’t totally finish the new one last night. But it’s almost done. It’ll be coming down the line probably Wednesday or Thursday.
So, anyway, instead, for today, I’m posting the re-recorded version of the song I wrote this week, last year.
For this one I added a chorus part and I changed the singing from a talkin’ blues to a more straight up blues tune. I think either way works well, but the chorus definitely adds something. At least makes the song a little longer.
Check out the original version and then you can compare and contrast and leave a highly critical comment about one or both or none.
Here’s the new song for this week…finally. I wrote this one yesterday after some divine inspiration. Not divine in the sense that the Lawd Almighty came down and smote this song upon a rock. But, divine in the beautiful sense. In the loving sense.
If that makes any sense….
Anyway, I think it turned out pretty good. I’m guessing I’ll play it out, but will probably do it a little faster. That also means there’ll be a harp break in there somewhere.
Maybe you’ll catch me playing it at the Whistler on November 20? That’s the next show, if ya didn’t know. I’m playing the first half of Lawrence Peters’ Country Throw-down. It’s a great time cause once Lawrence spins records after the music the rest of the night. So you can shake your rump til Monday comes. Check out the facebook invite for more info.
Here’s the new re-record. Not totally sure this one is that different than the original last year. Go listen to that here and you be the judge. Leave a comment with your thoughts, okay?
I do really like this tune, though. Like I said in the original post, it’s different than other songs I write. Lots of words, lots of chords. But, of course, that kind of makes it a less complex song than most of my others, I feel. It’s all right out there. Nothing’s hiding, nothing’s waiting to pop out at the last second. You pretty much know where it’s at and where it’s going from the beginning.
Oh well. Anyway. Tomorrow I’m hoping to get the new song for this week up. Please cross your fingers. It’s gonna take a lot of luck.
