Trouble Singing Fearfat

FEARFAT12

This is the next backwards song. Geez, man, I'm barely keeping up with this cuz I recorded this one last week. Historically, in order to manage my anxiety, I'll have recorded songs, like, a month or so ahead of having to post them. Then I know I won't fall behind in my blogging-poops. But I've been lagging. 2018 is Lagging-Year.

In any event, some of the highlights of this song are things like "N(g)ivrifornia," "Dastifornia," and "Spastifornia." That's a special treat, if you're listening to this here song, while residing in California.

Why Did They

WHYDTHEY

This is the song where Corky gets real sad because Verdell and Mogie are dead. I mean, they're both in Heaven with him, but he wanted them alive so they could get the message to his mom that he's alright. I like how this one turned out. 

Weird version of why did they

Here's last week's song, when you turn it around backwards.

Backwards WHYDTHEY

 I wanted to put this one on, as well. See, this is "Why Did They" turned around backwards using Audacity (a sound editing program). I wanted to include it because it's extra-special magical sounding. The one I recorded last week didn't have as much syncopation as this one.

For anyone new to this blog, the album I'm discussing is based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.

Everyone Stop

VRY1ST0P

 This is another one of those backwards songs. My impression, when listening to it, is that it sounds like it should be the song at the end of a movie. You know, those songs you hear when the closing credits are rolling? That's what this song sounds like to me. It's one of those sad songs; it's sad because you're saying goodbye to the movie you just watched.

The dudes in the picture are Timmy and Bobby. They show up in a couple graphic novels I wrote. There's also a whole series of Timmy and Bobby songs that I posted back in 2009.

Stop The Wind From Blowing Through (Mogie's Death Song)

STOPWIND

In this song, Mogie has just died and when he gets to Heaven, he sees Verdell and Corky. He decides to sing his death song in order to announce his presence. The death song is actually the main theme from the album I did back in 2015 (geez, I need to post the rest of that thing, at some point).

If Fear Had Purple Neon Crosswark, Part 2

BACST0PW

Here's the backwards version of next week's song. It revisits that theme about fear having purple neon crosswalks (but it's pronounced "crosswark"). I'm not sure if the 2 gentlemen in the picture are freaked out by Fear, or by the reminder to mail in their taxes.

Verdell's Rap

VERDLRAP
This is a song where Verdell is tellin' Corky that the dude he sees up ahead is his best friend, Mogie, which means that Mogie is dead, just like Verdell and Corky. This is from the early days of my experimenting with weird rap and stuff. Or would a regular person even classify this as rap? Listening to it just now, it made me think of something I might've recorded when I was a little kid.

New Year's Eve At The End Of The Week

NEWYEARS

This is a song of a dude rapping backwards. He's all excited cuz New Year's Eve is at the end of the week. When you hear next week's song, you'll see that when you turn this one around backwards, it's not about New Year's Eve at all.

My Bestest Friend

My bestest friend 3rd mix

In this song, Verdell, in the spirit world, is talking to his bestest friend, Mogie, who's still alive. He is tryin' to tell Mogie to vandalize George Washington on Rushmore to make him look sad. Corky's there, too. They both try to get old Mogie on board with their plan.

I got the coyote sample from a recording my brother made.

 As usual, this is what last week's song sounds like when you turn it around backwards.

Backwards Coyote Song

BACOY0TE

This is a backwards song that has a coyote in it. Thanks again to my brother for the coyote recording which I sampled, man. As usual, stay tuned for next week's song, which'll be what this one sounds like if you turn it around backwards.

She's Not Drinking Anymore/Verdell's Death Song

NOTDRINK

This one requires some explainin'; letsee if I can keep it short. See, when Verdell dies of stuff related to his alcoholism, he gets to Heaven, and he hears his death song. But rather than what one might expect, it's an uplifting(ish) song about a girl who stops drinking. It's like, huh? How can that be the death song of a dude who was all into drinking when he was alive?

In the song, Corky and Verdell rap back and forth, both trying to puzzle out what the deal is with that song. But, then, Verdell thinks back to his childhood, and remembers when he first heard the song in his head. At that point, he'd asked his grandpa why that was his death song. Grandpa had no clue, either, but suggested to Verdell that he should just let the mystery of it be just that - a mystery.

(None of the stuff about Grandpa or the death song is in the movie [see below]; it's totally made up).

See, a parallel process happened to me, in the writing of this song. The week that I was planning on recording Verdell's death song, this song came to me in a dream. I was all, "huh?" I was just as confused as Verdell when that song came to me and told me it was Verdell's death song. But this album is almost entirely composed of songs from dreams - I let the dreams write the album cuz I was too lazy to make up songs, myself. So, in respecting the Dream that gave me the song, and the song itself, for that matter, I recorded it, along with Verdell's "what the fuck" sentiments. That's fine that he had "what the fuck" sentiments, because so did I.

Romey Neh Nay Nearthoon

ROMEYNEH

Here's the weird backwards version of next week's song. The picture doesn't really have much to do with it; I just was in the mood to post a picture of a guy flipping off the camera.

In Heaven

INHEAVEN

This is the next song in that album I'm posting, but even though it's part of the continuing story, it's the kind of song that can, like, stand on its own, I think.

This song is sung from the point of view of a man who dies of alcoholism. He finds himself up in Heaven and is all oh shit because he keeps on being reincarnated and dying of alcoholism again and again and again. Like, every time he comes to earth, he ends up dying of alcoholism. As a spirit, he keeps on having the goal of going to Earth and dying of natural causes, but he keeps on getting frustrated again and again cuz he always ends up dying of alcoholism.

Oh, yeah, it has a coyote barking in it. My brother recorded a coyote barking, and I sampled it. Thanks, bro! Yeah, what I appreciate about that coyote barking is it sounds sorta like it's a little doggie hiccuping. Hiccups go with the theme of drunkenness, that is true. Hiccups and dying of the drink. It all goes together real nice.

It's actually sung from the point of view of Verdell, it's Verdell's I-just-got-to-Heaven song.

Weird version of in heaven

 Here's last week's song when you turn it around. Woohoo.
