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.

why my songs sound like shit these days

 



If you follow this music page, you've probably noticed that my voice has been deteriorating over time...basically there's a mystery something or other that's negatively impacting my health and giving my cats health issues too, and it's a bad thing. That, combined with lack o' sleep did a number on my dumb voice this week. Bleh. I think I know what the mystery something-or-other is - well, lemme take that back. I don't know what the mystery something-or-other is, but I know where it came from. And even though I got rid of the thing that contaminated the house, the badness is sticking around. Lots and lots of badness.

The Room I Never Use


This is a song from the point of view of a person with a mystery-room in her house. It relates to Jungian psychology stuff. If I'm remembering correctly, all of us have parts of ourselves that we don't accept, so we push them outta conscious awareness, and they end up in the Shadow, which is almost like this being made up of a conglomeration of parts of us that we don't accept about ourselves. I think I'm getting that right, but I might be wrong about that. Anyway, the room in the song might just signify that shadow complex. I don't know yet.




Now that typepad is dead and gone, I've been trying to figure out how to have more than one audio player on here in case the above one isn't compatible with people's portable electronic devices. I think I found the solution (sort of).
....this is thingy down below is an MP4 file of the song, where I'm pretending it's a video  (blogspot lets you upload videos, but not music - hence the MP4 nature of this). That way, if the above player thingy doesn't work on your portable electronic device, here's another option...If this DOES work, this is a slightly different version of the song, in which there is a little instrumental part in it to break up the monotony of it.

Okay, the online converter thingy where i converted it into a movie file messed up a bit, and there's a big long space at the end. But, anyway, here's another option of a music player thingy you can listen to it on.
