worked with my band again! had some fun playing around w textures and an improvised-ish open-mic coffee-shop bakery-maybe kinda vibe! fun stuff

 

jack on guitar! kara on vox and lyrics! me on the bottle of lactaid used as a shaker!

 

Thursday night at the Crafted Cup

My guitar and a no idea what to play

Maybe this time it wont just be me singing

The blues

 

Smells of ginger, cinnamon

Make it christmas all year round

I grab my usual and sit

The music slows it down

 

Leather seats same people here

They tell me whats been going on

With them, I look across the room 

Theres someone there, a brand new song

 

Napkin and pen

Write you a song because

I have no words to tell you 

Id really like to get to know you

 

So I didnt know you were going before me

But youre really good, brought some of that

Joni sweetness, sing your song

Wont you come take me along

 

I still got nothing to play for you

Just these napkin words from our game for two

But what Ive got is better than nothing

Ill make your day worth a little something

 

One, two, three, and four

Couldnt speak to you, eyes to the floor

But now you see that Im really into you

Id really like to get to know ya 

 

Performances over, I linger a bit

And you walk right over, I can see in your eyes that you liked it

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I invite you for drinks, you laugh and say yes

Said you really thought it was sweet that I could sing like that

What a pity you really didnt like it, yeah its fine 

One of these days I am going to make cookies

you dont need to talk no more cuz ive got things to say

you already had your chance you threw it all away

 

other lyrics but no time LOL BYE!!!!!!!!

Not feeling up for regular compoing so I thought I would do something super weird.  This was.interesting.

 

- A metronome ticks throughout the entirety of this song.

- The song is 34 bars long.

- There are tempo changes.

The simple truth.

I made this with a Yamaha TG100, early 90s General MIDI synth module.

Cookies can be sparkly, right? Batch with extra drum bits for TheVideoGamer.

[verse]

So there's a place by the bay, makes a solid panini

Makin' love to the world, like Roberto Benigni

We could go there on your break, before all of the tweeny

polka-dot hot shots go and ruin the scene

 

[chorus]

It's like you're always on my mind, always on my mind

It's like you're always on my mind, always on my mind

It's like you're on it all the time, on it all the time

It's like you're on it all the time, on it all the time

 

[verse]

Some folks float to the top, like a dollop of cream

I've watched you struggle like a mother since you were sixteen

It's insane, your brain is like a game of Jeopardy

Your Daily Double's got you down, you just wanna succeed

 

[bridge]

You're like the beanie baby everybody wants,

but nobody has (you're precious)

You're like a first-season sitcom no one picked up,

but I wish they had (cuz I would write that script)

 

[verse]

We could try something new, or just a stupid sequel

Used to think people were good. Now I think they're just people

If you think that you are trash, then I guess I'm a seagull

Hover close beside you, all other things being equal

pronounced kooquie

It's not very long, but I had a lot of fun making this! Enjoy!

I deliberately rendered it in the worst quality possible and deleted my project

Yum yum yum, I mean the cookies.

Too many cookies and you'll get fat. But who can resist those delicious cookies!

Oh how such a simple theme, can end up being the bane of my existence.

 

Get something out of it, is all i can say.
