I Don't Have Any Angels (Gloomy Gus Song #9)


This is song 9 in the Gloomy Gus series, a song about what it's like to grow up to be a pencil-pusher, instead of doing God's work, as he had originally intended way back in the day.

Gloomy Gus Song 8


Gloomy Gus continues to ponder the music he heard coming to him last night, as it fades from his memory and he gets ready for work.

Gloomy Gus Song 7


It's morning, and the memory of the music that came to Gloomy Gus in the night is fading fast. What was it, now? What was it that woke him up in the middle of the night. Crikey! His short term memory ain't what it used to be.

Last Day of 2025



When people say, "Thank God this year is over - it's ring in the new year," I feel like they're tempting fate...like, remember when people were all, "Thank God 2019 is over - yay, 2020"? Then there was Covid. Let's not tempt fate this time around.

Gloomy Gus Song 4 and a Half


I recorded this song on Christmas, and as of last night didn't really think it went with the rest o' them; but it fits nicely, nestled between song 4 and song 5. The song 6 one I'm a little ambivalent about; either I'll figure out how to use pitch correction or have another go at it.

Gloomy Gus Song 6

Here's a li'l restatement of that new theme in the last Gloomy Gus song. Actually, if you follow this, I did an initial version of a song with this melody a while back but didn't know what it was supposed to be about, and stuff. This song seems to belong here in this here album. Yeah, man. Yeah. Although I kinda like the old version of it, too.

 

Gloomy Gus Song 5


 Gloomy Gus wakes up to...what the heck? Music comin' from he does not know where.

4th Christmas Song (And all the rest down at the bottom)


 

I wanted to do a 4th Christmas song this year, so that I'd have 4 Christmas songs. Then it makes a nice, well-rounded, square-shaped Christmas song cycle.


 

Here're all the Christmas songs in chronological order (with big, dumb, long pauses at the end of them):

The Ambivalent-About-Christmas-Songs-Christmas Song


The Less Ambivalent-But-Still-A-Little-Ambivalent-Christmas Song


The Drunk Church Weighs In On Christmas Song Stuff


Just One More Christmas Song to Round it Out

Here's Christmas Song #3, I guess you could call it. Number 3. A song about how Christmas is sort of kind of a celebration of Jesus's birthday, but not on His actual birthday.

Another 2025 Christmas Song


I don't think I've ever been to a Midnight Mass before, but here's a song for one.

Xmas 2025


 Just a quick little ditty to get everyone into the holiday spirit. Well, maybe not.


Different Version of some of the vocals because the first version annoys me:

Give Up The Ghost (Gloomy Gus Song #4)


Poor Gloomy Gus; he sure is gloomy. He's thinking about what his epitaph will eventually say, but he can't come up with any ideas. (This is the 4th song in the Gloomy Gus and the Forest That's About to Die album).

I must confess - whoops - I accidentally plagiarized part of a rap from another song o' mine. I didn't realize it till after the fact. Oh well, I guess it's legal if it's your own self that you're copying from.

Post-script: The player at the very bottom is a slightly tweaked version where I got RID OF THE OUT OF TUNE VOCALS - Arrrrrghghghgggghhghgghhghghgh. Maybe I'll looking into some pitch correction devices, ha ha.  As usual the MP4 version of the song has a big, dumb, long pause at the end cuz the MP4 converter online thingy wants to do that for some reason.
