I do like the chord though. If it is a chord I think it’s supposed to be G, B Flat, and D Flat but whatever.
It was my intention to get some headway on the Sketch of Sam Monroe today. But I also have to run through my ‘repertoire’ (read fapatoire) and do general practice. So I thought I’d just toss-up a bit of that practice session to justify my slacking.
My hand hurts…I segue into a discussion on the relationship between art and physicality. There is a sort of trope that artists are disaffected and dysfunctional – that substance abuse and abandon are the key to greatness. I present an alternative theory.
Another little jam I was able to squeeze in. Hoping to squeeze harder tomorrow, more tunefully, and less like a stray cat that got too curious about the hobo’s little sack of powder.
Squeeze is such an odd word. Seriously try to find a word that sits more awkwardly on the English tongue than squeeze. SK WEE ZZZ. Eh….speaking of anyone dig the following?
Hammin up a jam for giggles. A bit of an experiment of what I could come up with before an earl shift. The beginning reminds me of some Opeth song…not trying to plagiarize just kinda a d major shape thing that sounds cool.
Another Late Evening Jam…check out Nick Drake if you want to hear some fantastic music by someone who actually took the trouble to practice singing.
Don’t You Know the Ring? (Alternate Title)
Lyrics
The faintest spark
Within the dark
Would hold us fast
And pull us into harbour
A melody is our trusted port
This subtle home
Ancient report
Sound of the depths
Wiser…deeper than the sea
Here we sit and here we sing
A never ending ring
Bells that chime pulled by the rope
The faintest spark called Quasimodo
Oh don’t you know
Don’t say you don’t know
Quasimodo
The faintest spark
Within the dark
Would hold us fast
Pull us into the harbour
Into the harbour harbouring harbouring
A ring ring ring a ring a ring ring
O don’t you know the ring
