I Wonder If There's Something Wrong With Me
I woke up feelin' off this morning, yes, indeed, and I wondered if there was something wrong with me. Then I remembered this song from yesteryear I did a long time ago. It's a wee little ditty about wondering if there's something wrong with me - I think it was 2002 that I did it. This is sorta an updated version; I don't really remember what the original one sounded like, though, so maybe it's a whole new song.
This song is a true story: I used to live in Altadena, and ever since the fire, I was wondering how my old house and how my landlords' house fared (they're right next door to each other). A friend and I drove there a few weeks ago, and my old house and my landlords' house are still standing! The house next door to my landlords' house was also standing. But the whole rest of the block, and most of the rest of the street, were burnt down - just total devastation. These 2 houses, which used to be such happy places, looked sad. They looked ghostly. They looked like houses that didn't know what to do with themselves, being on a block of houses that had been destroyed. They looked desolate and uncanny. That's what this song is about.
The lyrics are:
Similar to yesterday's tune, I'm doing another little number that sort of fills in the blanks on the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Album, Part 2 that I'm working on. Loosey Goosey Lucifer, the Goddess of Light, is getting ready to tell the Drinking Church, members, who are in a state of sad resignation, that it's better to fight the evil dictator who has taken over their country.
This is another song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Album, Part 2. I'm not sure which number song it'll be...maybe the 3rd. The Drunk Church is resigned to dying because the world is doomed.
I Wanna Do The Chester Bennington Music
The hook of this song came from a dream, and stuff. It's about Chester Bennington and stuff. I started judging myself in the middle of writing/recording it. You might be able to tell.
This is a crap song about how all my songs about owls end up being crap songs. I've only written a couple of them, but they were all crappy. And shitty, too.
This is another song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Album, Part 2; it's another song from the point of view of the fly. This fly has psychic abilities and has taken a trip to the Doomsday Clock. This fly has a warning for humanity, sort of.
I don't think the words, "cautious optimism," are actually in the song, but that's what the song's about, and stuff. I'm considering using this music or a better version of it for the closing credits o' the first chapter of the movie I'm working on. I haven't decided yet. See, it's the end of the first part of a trilogy, but the trilogy will be all one big movie. It's like, hey, let's end on a hopeful note, but not too hopeful.
You can take a look at what I have so far of the movie - it's on the December 24, 2024 entry on this blog - the installments are somewhere between 30 seconds and 4 minutes long, the average being, probably, 45 or 50 seconds.Okay, I did a 2nd mix; in imagining this song being the closing of a chapter of a 3-part movie, I realized it felt like the instruments needed to be louder in order to achieve the type of feelings/ambiance/goodness I wanted to evoke.
This is a song about earthbound spirits of drunk people. Whoops I fucked up on the title of the mp3 file above - it should be "spirits of drunk people," not "spirits of drink people."
