Though in truth I'm not entirely certain how much of it will remain relevant. In any case, I'm tired as hell now, which is exceedingly odd because it's only 1:30.
Anyways, I wouldn't be here if I wasn't offering up something, so here's a song I came up with on the spot. Warning: There will be blues tropes here, and when I do set it to music I'll be trying to make it not sound like a song written on top of a template but for now here are some lyrics. Also, this can only be seen as final in the sense that anything can be when I'm exhausted.
I rode the train last evening
And the Devil took me for a tear
I rode the train late last evening
and the Devil took me on a tear
He caught me off my guard
Had the little Reaper in the other chair
I heard the Devil cackle
As the engine lit its flame
I heard that fucker cackle
As the engine lit its flame
He said, you're in too deep this time
You shoulda never played this game
I didn't say a word
Because I know him all too well
No I didn't say a word
Because I know him all too well
If I try to plead my case
I'll already be in Hell
A red moon hung in the sky
and a rumble from below
All the stars hid their fires
stifled by its evil glow
The switchman's face was bloody
But no one watching could have known
I broke out through the window
as the train skipped off the rail
Yeah, I made out with my life
as the train kipped off the rail
Still I've gotta hedge my bets
So I can live to tell this tale.
Ahem. Now that we're done with that
Yoko Ono is about to release an album
Word has it that the vinyl release will feature a B side with good music recorded on it.
And with that, I'm off.
I like it. It's a bit rough, and I can see the influences--which is a good thing--have to read it some more.
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to say Yoko won't be on the "B" side?
Just what I needed... a song by the Wombat... I truly love it! :)

Pia: I made some of the tempos inconsistent on purpose. That having been said, I'm still working on it.
ReplyDeleteShayna: Hearing from you, and moreover, hearing that from you, made my day.
{illyria}: I shall, when it's done. And not to worry. It happens to the best of us.
