Storm Reprise

This one started with that not surprisingly simple piano part.  Like most song writers, once I have a hook of some sort, I spew out the first lyrics and vocal melody that comes to my mind.  What we have here is exactly that.  "I-I-I know-ow-ow-ow it's never gonna be-e-e" over and over again.  Add the most standard drum beat known to rock and you've got yourself some quintessential me.

Never Gonna Be

I remember really liking the "top gunny" drums of this song at the time.  I think that's how the song started, then I went to my standard "what basic guitar chords can I lay over that?"  The song eventually went in a direction that I found way too similar to another song I was listening to at the time so I got discouraged and stopped working on it all together.  I wanna say this was late 2008 when myspace was still cool.

Those With The Clothes Higher Guit

Circa 2008, this was the first song of mine to be largely inspired by my favorite contemporary band: Why?.  It was supposed to be  a Bilithic song if some of you know what that is, but when it came down to it, it just didn't do it for Matt and I and we left it alone.  I remember writing and recording this version in my bedroom on Hobson st. in Brighton, MA.  Like most of these, it's got that impossible be make sound real Garageband piano.

I'm Broke

Circa 4/29/2010, this was one my attempts into writing folk songs.  I remember watching the Scorcese documentary on Bob Dylan and getting a little obsessed.  I liked the basis for this song, but then found the chord progression rather dull and the lyrics became a chore.  I think I wrote a different version with different music that I liked better, so this one never got touched again.
