Think I know where to go with this one, got a lyric and a whole week to make it work with some music... This will be a song with a backstory, and if you figure out what the backstory is, everything will make sense, and even if you don't, it'll be a nice, ya know, KA song. And it might even make a suitable B-side when "Young Blood" comes out as a single... wait, they don't do that any more?

OK. I have not entered for a looong time.

I like this title.

I have 2 days free next week.

I have a new microphone.

I am chocked up full of angry pills

Lets see what happens.

Actually - I have a great idea about a fresh-faced young songwriter who befriends a creepy old dude with a house full of recording equipment.

Pepper Jane - wanna do backing vocals?

Haha you know I do C-Ray ;)

In fact I am also home for two weeks or so. (See Daily Roll Call thread)

My entry this week will be a kind of collab anyway, as in, I'm doing it but it wasn't my idea

No, super creepy is that just last night I dreamt that I was telling a buddy of mine about a talented pool of (mostly) Canadian folks that occasionally enter songs as Gert. You guys are great but please don't manipulate my mind like that, thank you. Weird, man!

Well, I'm in: it wasn't the original idea, which was "Broad beans and their stuggle for recognition over their sweetpea cousins . Its a classic just waiting to be told"... but a new one. On an unplugged Squier strat, since I just put new strings on my Maton and know glennny wouldn't appreciate that ;)
Additionally, my take on the original idea would have been a children-targeted quasi-educational episode, which after last week's entries, would have seemed a bit of a copycat exercise. So the broadbeans will have to wait.

Nine minutes to deadline and I'm giving the mp3 a listen just to make sure it's all there. I worked a lot on the lyric - there's, like a backstory which listeners may or may not get, it's supposed to work either way. The music is kinda old fashioned. I expect to come in way behind Gert, if only because there are six people in Gert...

I "get" the comments on my other songs about synth drums and other instruments, but I decided a long, long time ago (late 1970s?) that I'd rather use fake horns and learn about how horns work in an arrangement than not have horns (or strings or drums, and even occasionally bass). So, ya know, continue to hate it and tell me you hate it, this is what I'm going to continue doing.

And there is my Nigerian Prince email, so I guess I'm in. I haven't voted or reviewed YB yet, but will try to get to that unless the deadline for the next fight is really soon...

And, crud, I just realized that I forgot to do all the id tags in my mp3. FM, let me know if you'd like me to fix those up and re-send...

Makes sense, KA. I certainly don't hate your synth sounds, just thought maybe try using them as synth sounds instead of horns. For experimentation and to shoo the fly. Glad you're on a roll, hope I'm hip enough to pick up on this week's story.

Ha, king_arthur, I look forward to listening to your complementary tune. I didn't mean to add any further lyrics to mine, short tho it is, aside from repeating the last line as a droney fade out. But I felt like it was cheeky enough given the SF demographic!

I know the creepiness levels of my song will be nothing compared to what some other esteemed members of this community can produce without even trying. :P Nonetheless, I am in!

I don't think I've ever said I HATE the backing band sound. I just think it would be cool and maybe to the benefit of your songs if you played around with convention a little bit. Like I mentioned previously, maybe run the sounds through crazy effects. Play the loops backwards. Or keep it all as is; you are ultimately doing this because it's fun.
