Twa Corbies

I wrote this song as a reddit request for a song about palindromes.  The entire song is a palindrome, including the chord chart.

  [D] Drab as a [G]fool, aloof as a [D]bard

[C]Eva, can I [F]stab bats in a [C]cave?

[D]I’m a [G]fool, aloof am [D]I

[D]Was it a [G]bat I [D]saw?

[A]In words, [D]drown [A]I

[A]Rats at a [D]bar grab at a [A]star

[D]Was It a [G]rat I [D]saw?

[A]Rats at a [D]bar grab at a [A]star

[A]In words, [D]drown [A]I

[D]Was it a [G]bat I [D]saw?

[D]I’m a [G]fool, aloof am [D]I

[C]Eva, can I [F]stab bats in a [C]cave?

[D]Drab as a [G]fool, aloof as a [D]bard


Drab As A Fool, Aloof As A Bard

The Song A Week theme this week was Energy.  I chose to write about how the energy we project in our daily lives can affect those around us.

Positive Waves

This week's theme was secondary dominants.  This one is about keeping perspective through the little pieces of adversity we face each day.

Tiny Pieces

This week's theme was quiet.  I created a quiet backing track, and the sax was provided by David Williams.

Song A Week:  Single Timbre.  Essentially just wanking around in Gm on my nylon string.

Nylon Wank In Gm

The theme this week was homemade instruments, so I used a cajon that I build from a kit for the percussion.  This is a silly song about Space Hippies making the best use of the aquaponics system on their ship as they drift lazily through space.
