Gloomy Gus Song #14: What's the Point of Living if We're all Just Gonna Die Anyway?

 

Here's Gloomy Gus Song #14: It's a little existential ditty.

We're Drinking a Lot

 Here's another drunk church song. It might suck.

Gone a Long Time (Polished Version)

This is the polished version of that little ditty I did a few Sundays ago with the dandelion picture and stuff. I think it's about a depressed gal who has gods and goddesses she knew in a past life come visit her in her sleep. 

(Side-note: this is one of those songs where I wonder if I like it because it's a fine little tune or if I accidentally plagiarized someone - I hope it's the former and not the latter).

PainRain

 

I guess there's a little man who lives inside us and sings about pain and rain and stuff. I guess so. Or at least, that's what the song told me this morning. Here's another Ghost Owl picture that doesn't have much to do with the song, unless it sort of does. Maybe the little man who lives inside all of us and sings about pain and rain is actually Ghost-Owl-shaped.

Dried up and Shitty (Gloomy Gus Song 13)

 I did this song a week ago; here it is (recorded it ahead o' time cuz I don't have time to record stuff today). (The pic of the Ghost Owl has nothing to do with the song; I just had lots of pics of Ghost Owls lying around).

I'm Drinking Sunshine

 

This is a song that was derived from the Green Sunday song I did on Sunday. I fleshed it out and made it into a drinking song. Okay, this is the worst mix ever; I'll remix it tomorrow!

Alternative Mix (I think it might be the definitive mix):

Here's a beginning-of-a-song thingy, derived from the other little song nugget I did last Sunday. It's unfinished, and I'll probably finish it in about 2 weeks. But I wanted to post it in case I die before I have time to finish working on it:

Gone a Long Time

 

Okay, I decided to just make a regular post of the bonus track I have down there that I published a few minutes ago.

Green Sunday

 It's a green Sunday.

Bonus Track:

Back to the City

 

Hmm, this mix might suck; I'll do a remix tomorrow if it sucks. Anyway, it's a song where the first part of the lyrics came from a dream. I hope it doesn't suck too much.

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

Gloomy Gus Song #12 - Oblivion

 

This is Song #12 in the Gloomy Gus series. The stupid podcast hosting service isn't working when I try to upload it, so all I have his this stupid MP4 file (with a big, dumb, long pause at the end):

(Post script - go to the MP4 player at the very bottom of this blog entry cuz I fixed a very bad mistake I'd made in the song (well, to some, it might be minor, but to me, it made everything suck) (I fell out of rhythm in the rap toward the end for a nanosecond, and so I went back and layered some extra vocals on top to make it not suck).

Okay, it finally worked, Geez, man:

The better mix:

I Don't Know What Happened To Me

The repeating part of this song came from a dream this morning, where 2 girls came to me, alarmed about some music they were listening to. It was instrumental, but there were overtones or something that made it sound like there was a human voice singing. It sounded like my voice, but it sounded as if that voice of mine was turned around backwards. And it was singing "I don't know what happened to me." It was eerie, so I made a song about it.

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

Gloomy Gus Song #11 (The Whiskey Song)

 

This is a song about why Gloomy Gus likes whiskey. See the movie file below for a 2nd mix (the timing of one of the banjo lines sucked, so I stuck another banjo on top of it to make it sound less stupid).
