I wrote two songs in the last half-hour! Admittedly, one is crazy short and the other is composed of fragments that have been floating around in my Evernote notebook for AGES. But still! I'm up to 3/66, and only behind by one now. Soon I will be providing a lovely dust banquet.
Song 1: Entitled "Overboard," it's about taking opportunities and/or suicide, it depends on your worldview. I was playing around with minor chords (something I don't do often) and it fell together pretty well, even though the lyrics could use a tune-up. And it could stand an extra verse.
Song 2: Entitled "Lazy," it's a composite of three ideas: one verse/chorus line I had floating around, one intro, and one chord progression that doesn't fit with lyrics. And there are a LOT of 7th chords. I mean a LOT. I basically threw music theory to the wind and went with what sounds good, which is what I'm supposed to do in the first place, so that worked out well. Anyway, it's about being lazy. Which you may have guessed.
I have been listening to entirely too much Owl City lately. Overboard is... well, the influence seems kinda obvious to me.
And yeah, she did throw a pepper at my face. I was holding the knife, see, and she threw it to see if we could chop it out of the air like Japanese ninja chefs. Except she missed, and it ricocheted off my face and landed in the butter dish. Proof that the world is awesome.
