Driving Through the Rain With Kitties
It's time for the yearly song with cats yelling in it cuz they were due for their little vet checkups. Here they are, yelling. A big rainstorm was starting, as I hit the road, complete with lotsa wind and everything. So, I figured, I'd make this little ditty about being all apprehensive about driving in the rain and wanting to make it home safely with the most precious cargo anyone could imagine. One's cats.
This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It's sort of a sequel to the song I did a few weeks ago about it bein' the Dark Blue Winter. The gal in the album has become fairly certain that she's going to have to break up with her boyfriend, and it's making her all depressed.
This song popped outta me on February 14th, but I only recorded the first part of it. Today, I recorded the second part of it. It's a song about, well, I guess, in general, it's a song about losing one's marbles. But the metaphor I use is that of me being a bus driver who finds herself driving on the wrong side o' the road. Ooooops!!!!!!! There're days I feel like the character in this song. Yes, indeed, I have days like that in recent times.
This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It's about the girl bein' bummed out about her relationship goin' bad and turnin' to wine to make herself feel better. I gotta listen to it a few more times, I think, before I decide how I feel about it. Poopity poop.
This is a song about that variety of depression where, rather than being down-in-the-dumps, per se, one feels all blank and empty and stuff. I dunno which sucks more, to be honest...bein' all down in the dumps and crying-ish, or being a blank blankness of void-y-ness. This is the kind of depression where you find yourself falling into a void, and you realize you're becoming the void you're falling into.
Here's a song that's just a buzzing insect whose frequency varies. Well, it's me pretending to be a buzzing insect.
This is Song #10 in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer series. The people in the tiny church go outside to see what the source of the light is that's comin' in through the windows.. They see Loosey Goosey Lucifer, and she sees them, too. They all figure out they have the same deal...in other words, they all want to save the world. Because they all have the same deal, they decide to join together. They all decide to save the world together.
This is the first song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 4. It's actually based on an old ditty that I wrote back when I initially realized I was most likely going to break up with the boyfriend the Fucked Up Relationship Album is about. I made a different chorus and I turned the original chorus into a bridge. I dunno if this is the definitive version of this song or not. I guess time'll tell. In any event, the prospect o' having to break up with horrible-boyfriend-man triggered a major depressive episode. But not as bad as the one I had during the summer that takes place in Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 2.
Actually, scroll down for a better version of this song (it's a week later, and I souped it up in a good way.)
Here's the one with the crappy beginning and end:
This is the next song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer series. The people in the tiny church are singing, singing away, singing jolly hymns. Suddenly, they hear the buzzing of the fly outside - the fly is singing along with them!
New and improved version:
Post script:
Upon further listening to yesterday's song, I found that it had serious deficiencies that needed to be addressed. The ending didn't sound nearly churchy enough. I increased the churchy flavoredness, by adding a bit o' Casio-from-the-80s-keyboard-fake-organ-magic, along with some extra vocals to give it that good, Churchly choirish, group-of-bad-singers flavor on the ending. It made it more climactic and less sucky.
This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 3. It's the song where the girl decides that she needs to break up with her boyfriend.
This is Song #7 of the Loosey Goosey Lucifer series. She follows the beam of light down to earth, and as she approaches the source of the light, she hears singing. She sees that the light and singing are both emanating from a tiny church, that very church that is in Song #3 of this series.
I realized last night that I needed a song to go between last night's song and last week's song, cuz 1. those 2 songs are kinda similar, so it sounds dumb to hear 2 similar songs in a row and 2. I wanted to make sure the listening audience knew exactly and precisely what was going on in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer album at this point, so I added it for a bit of clarification and stuff. So, like, in last week's song, Loosey Goosey Lucifer sends light down to Earth and it bounces off cuz the darkness of Earth was too dense for the light to penetrate. In this here song, she sees something outta the corner of her eye and goes, "What?" And in the next song (last night's song), she decides to go investigate it; it's a giant source of light that's a-coming from Earth.
This is the 5th song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Album, a totally unplanned album that's givin' birth to itself. Loosey Goosey Lucifer, the Goddess of Light is up in space and sees a big old beam of light coming from Earth. It's, as far as she can tell, the brightest source of light on Earth. She's gonna ride her magic singing fly on down to Earth and see what it is.
