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. 

Part of the Theme Song of the Hell: Part 2 Movie

The first part (before the rapping comes in) is gonna be part of the sound track of the movie I'm working on. It's gonna be in 3 parts; the first part o'' the movie is already on YouTube (make sure the player thingy is on high definition if you choose to watch it). Part 2 is still in a bunch of wee, bite-sized installments that I'm eventually gonna put together just like I did for Hell Part 1 and upload onto YouTube (and maybe other places). Anyway, this is a fragment of a song I wrote in 2023; it's a song that's kind of the theme song of Hell: Part 2. Boodles the Poodle is in Hell: Part 2.

Scroll to the bottom for a slightly better version (I had put the wrong emphAsis on the wrong syllAble at one point, and it was driving me crazy, so I fixed it).

New and improved version (with a big, dumb long pause at the end):

It's Just the Way It Is (Gloomy Gus Song #3)

This is song #3 in the Gloomy Gus album. I wasn't expecting to record a song today, but I was washing dishes, and this song came to me. Well, it's more of a variation-on-a-theme-song, I guess you could call it. Jung would hate it cuz he hates polyphonies. Actually, the singing part is more call-and-response-ish, now that I'm thinking of it, so maybe Jung wouldn't hate it. But I think he'd probably hate the part at the end cuz the rapping-over-the-singing stuff has a polyphony-ish flavor to it.

Or maybe the piano melody under the main theme part counts as being a polyphony...maybe so. Maybe Jung would hate this song, after all!!

Gloomy Gus song #2

This is the second song in the album with the working title, "Gloomy Gus and the Forest That's About to Die." Gloomy Gus is busy being all sad and gloomy, when he hears music coming out of (seemingly) nowhere. What is this?????????

(This is one of those scratchy vocal cords weeks - I dunno if I'll redo any of these vocals or not).

Here's a possibly better mix (with a dumb, big, long pause at the end):

Gloomy Gus

I'm posting this a day early cuz I'm having company tomorrow, so I won't be doin' my usual Friday song. Actually, me and said company are gonna work on a song, but it's gonna be a long-term project. Stay tuned for that!

This is an alternative version of the song I wanted to record last week but didn't cuz my voice was all janky. I'm considering starting a new little concept album. This song and another song came to me and said, "Make an album out of us!" So, I might just do it. If that's the case, this might end up being Track #1 of said new concept album.
