And I Think I'll Give It A Try, Anyway

 

And I Think I'll Give It A Try Anyway

 Here's the next song in the fucked up relationship album. This is the chopped up version of the previous song, where the main character is expressing stuff she doesn't want the dude in the relationship to hear. This is the song where she finds out he doesn't smoke pot.

I had a just a tiny misgiving

Is he a credible person? I don't know if he is

He seems too perfect - how can this be?
But it seems like he's perfect for me
Unfortunately, he don't smoke pot
But even so, I like him a lot

He might not be as fun as my last boyfriend

I think I will go with the flow
Cuz he might be fun - you never know
He's older than dirt, but that don't mean
That he's got stodginess in his genes

And I think I'll give it a try anyway

Here's the little player thingy that goes at the bottom, in case the top one ain't your cup o' tea:

It's Just the Color of the Ground

 

It's Just The Color Of The Ground

This is a demo of a hook that came from a dream; I think I know what this song's gonna eventually be about...stay tuned! 

I Apologize Today

 

I Apologize Today

Here's another song where I apologize to the listening audience for my music sucking this year. Hopefully, things'll turn around. I need to get things set up so I can record my drum set in stereo - at the moment, that's a sorta hard thing to do, so I recorded in mono and panned it to the right, and I recorded bongo drums and panned those to the left, so you at least have some stereo drums. Even though it's not ideal. Bleh.

The lyrics are:

I wanted to apologize one more time
Cuz my music sucks these days; it is not fine

I apologize, I apologize, I apologize today, today

Twenty twenty one was a good year but
This year, I am in a monster sized rut
I'm feeling stupid, I'm feeling dumb and
I'm just a poop head, who's reeling from an
Enormous writer's block and I am scared
Will my mojo come back? How will I fare?
And no inspiration comes
In the land of stupid music, I feel dumb

I apologize, I apologize, I apologize today, today

Here's the little player thingy at the bottom:

Sad Sack Song

 

Sad sack song

 Sorry most of my songs have been either sad or angry. Maybe at some point, I'll no longer be sad and angry. But if there're any people out there who're also sad and angry, maybe they'll be able to relate to my new, dumb music.

Side-note - I might've gotten to the bottom of what's messing up my voice. I'm hoping to implement a solution soon.

I Know He Likes Me Back

 

I Know He Likes Me Back

 This is the next song in the fucked up relationship album. The main character finds out that the dude likes her back. Woohoo!!

The lyrics are:

I said I like him and he said he likes me back
When he said that, I almost had a heart attack

I know he likes me back!

It's a miracle, and he knows that I exist
And I cannot wait until we finally kiss

I know he likes me back

He is the most incredible person
And he likes me, and now I'm sure he's the one
That I want to marry if he will have me
And I think I'll carry his babies gladly 

Some Emergency Curse Words

 I needed some emergency curse words, so here they are.

Fuck You Eat Shit and Die Mix 2

 

He Might Not Be As Fun As My Last Boyfriend

 

He Might Not Be As Fun As My Last Boyfriend

 Here's the next song in the fucked up relationship album. It's the one where I take the previous song ("He Called Me on the Phone") and chop it up and have the narrator of the album say the stuff she doesn't want her (soon-to-be) bad boyfriend to hear.

The lyrics are:

(Dead Man)
He might not be as fun as my last boyfriend

I don't know if he even smokes pot
And I'll be bummed out if he does not
Does he like cool music? I hope so
And if he does not, can I got with the flow?

(My pants)
I'll be fucking a real old guy if I get together with him and I say
Does his equipment work anymore? If it does not, I don't know if I'll stay

This call was boring
I felt like snoring
But, I am in love
Oh, Heavens Above!
He's talking 'bout Shakespeare
And I am waiting for here
For my turn to speak
It might be next week

(My pants - Dead Man)
My pants - dead man

He might not be as fun as my last boyfriend

Owl Death-Song

 

Owl Song

 There was a couple great horned owls hooting outside my window last night, and they woke me up. I grabbed my iPad to record 'em. They're really bad quality recordings, as you'll soon find out cuz I stuck 'em in the beginning of the song. This song's about how lotta indigenous people around here consider owls to omens of death, and what that implies for my hearin' 'em last night. 

The lyrics are:

The owl came; it's a signifier of death, but that's okay

The owl is a signifier of death, but I don't care
Maybe it's telling me I'll breathe my last breath, but I don't care

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care about death

I heard them hooting in a nearby tree, but that's okay
Are they saying death is coming for me? Well, that's okay

The Lakota and Omaha and Cheyenne and Fox and Ojibwa and Menominee and Creek people
Consider the owl to be a death omen
In the middle of the night, hoots were spoken
Outside of my window at midnight
Oh, my, I listened through the moonlight
I don't know if that means I'm dying
If so, soon my friends will be crying

The owl is a signifier of death, but I don't care
Maybe it's telling me I'll breathe my last breath, but I don't care

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care about death 

Fuck Humanity

 

Fuck Humanity

 I'm in a bad mood...you can probably tell by the nature of this song. But at the same time, I agree with the sentiments of it even when I'm in a good mood.

The lyrics are:

Fuck humanity, fuck humanity - I'm tired of this species

This world would be better off if humans went extinct

Yes, we should all fuck off because we all stink
They're fucking the planet
I cannot stand it
Humans are bastards
They think they're masters
Of all of nature
Yes, they are plain sure
That they're amazing
They don't deserve praising

I don't like my species because we're a bunch of jerks
Especially my next door neighbors - they can all eat shit and die

He Called Me on the Phone

 

He Called Me on the Phone

 Here's the next song in the fucked up relationship album. Just a reminder, it's based on a fucked up relationship I was in 20 years ago, and every other song is what the narrator doesn't mind the (soon to be) bad boyfriend hearing, and every other song is a chopped up version of the previous song, where she says what's really on her mind.

The lyrics are:

He called me yesterday, he did
We talked for 3 hours on the phone
I'm so excited I might die
And now I feel my mind is blown

He called me on the phone, he called me on the phone
I think he likes me back

And now my dreams might just come true
Maybe I'll no longer be blue
He is the sexiest of men
Maybe soon he'll be my boyfriend

He called me on the phone, he called me on the phone
I think he likes me back

It is enough to make me shit my pants
And I think I will do a happy dance
It was totally unexpected, man
And as you know, I'm his number one fan
He called totally out of the blue
And I'm falling more in love, it is true
Maybe I'll tell him how I feel really soon
If he likes me back, I'll be over the moon

He called me on the phone, he called me on the phone

I think he likes me back

 

Queen Elizabeth

 

Queen Elizabeth

Oh, man, like I said in the song, I knew this day was coming, but I didn't want it to come this soon. I wanna express my appreciation for Queen Elizabeth and I hope she's doing well up in Heaven.

On the news, they said "God save the King"
Cuz the Queen is dead - it's a very, very sad thing

I knew this day was coming, but it seems too soon
I am gonna miss the queen - she will no longer be on the news

There was something reassuring about her being alive
I could not believe my ears when I heard that she died

She is up in Heaven - I hope she likes it there
And I know I'll miss her - of that I am aware

There has not been a single day in my life
In which the Queen was not very much alive
Now that she's passed, I feel like the world is wrong
She had some class, and for her, I write this song

I knew this day was coming, but it came too soon
But at least she is in Heaven, dancing on the moon

Hi everyone, I have a petition for y'all to sign, even though most of you out there don't have any skin in this particular game. See, the town where I grew up is going to literally get destroyed by this gigantic development. It's going to increase the size of the population by 25%, in a town that doesn't have the infrastructure to support the people that are already there. And the worst part (at least in my view) is that over 3000 OAK TREES ARE GOING TO GET MURDERED!!!! So here's this petition in case you're interested in saving a town and a bunch of oak trees. That land is sacred to me - and I'm going to do everything in my power to stop this massacre of trees and rape of the land from happening.

The picture up top ain't the trees that are going to get murdered but they're the same type of tree.

I Just Had a Tiny Misgiving - Mix 4

I Just Had a tiny misgiving mix 4

Sorry for the repeat of yesterday's song, but I was listening to it last night and found some stuff I really needed to fix. First of all, in the first rap, the rhyme at the very end lands on the wrong beat - ARGH. That was quite the rookie mistake. So, I layered some vocals on top to make the rhyme land in the right place. 

Then the bass drops out during the "I just had a" part, which sounds all cool and mysterious. But then the bass never comes back, which in retrospect I realized is dumb...so I put bass at the end, coming in at the beginning of the second rap. See, I'd figured since the repeating "I just had a" sample has bass in it, if I recorded a bass line over it, it would have too many basses crowded together. But in the final mix, the sample is too quiet for you to hear the bass. So, there's that, too. 

And the last part didn't sound grand-finale-ish enough, so I added some more layers of vocals on top. Whew.😊 (I don't know how that emoji got here).

  

I Just Had a Tiny Misgiving

 

I Just Had a Tiny Misgiving

 Here's the second song of the fucked up relationship album I started working on. Yeah, so the way it's gonna work is: I do a song where it's the main character's public-facing self - the self that she lets the (future) boyfriend see. And the next song'll be a chopped up version of the previous song where she's sayin' some of the stuff she doesn't want the dude to know about.

The lyrics are:

This is the song where I say a secret
Thing that's in my mind - I hope you keep it
These are the things I don't want him to hear
Of him, I have a tiny bit of fear
I dunno why - I know it sounds crazy
He's a good guy but I'm scared if I say these
Things I am thinking inside of my mind
Something bad might happen if he did find out

My friends are gonna think he's too old for me, old for me

It's just a tiny misgiving

I just had a, I just had a tiny misgiving

I'll be fucking a real old guy if I get together with him, and I say:
Does his equipment work anymore? If it doesn't, I don't know if I'll stay

It's just a tiny misgiving

Stop Screaming in My Ears

 

Stop Screaming in My EArs

I was having a good day, when the little bastard next door started screaming bloody murder. I used that as inspiration for this song...sorry it's distorted in parts - I was so in the mood for catharsis that I overblew the microphone. Oh yeah, I'm not gonna shoot myself. 

 

A Generic Sad Song

 Here's a generic sad song about being sad. I dunno if I like it yet or not, but I think I might. I dunno, though.
