Daisies

day 2 of a song in 40 minutes.  you can hear me say "with 35 seconds left" right at the end

light

Day 3.  trying to push my boundaries 

Equilibrium
that's an even sum
it's what lets us keep standing up
not too little, but just enough
walk when you're too tired to run
equilibrium

equilibrium
take the good times with the bad
you'll be joyful and be sad
pluses and minus make a sum
that's equilibrium

Equalibrium

Day 4, Gayla sends me a word each day to write a song around.  I abandoned the 40 minute time frame and am just trying to work quickly, with minimal editing and one quick take.

your time is not your own
you had a baby at home
for two years to the day 
you would not get away
for at home with that baby you stayed

but the baby meany more than the sunlight
she needed all of your time
you settled for less of your own happiness
for the love of that child you were selfless

you always give more than you take
you're as sweet as the cookies you bake
as sure as I count on the sunset
you should know that to me you're selfless

selfless

I thought this one would come easier.  I had a bunch of lines in my head, but by the time I sat down to write, not much came back

I sent a message to this girl on the line
with her reply she took her own sweet time
so I reached out and made a second appeal
I like your style so whats the deal
you want to get together and listen to my schpeel
totes McGroats
and that's all she wrote

totes McGroats
and that's all she wrote
if you ran for office you'd get my vote
if you were a captain you could drive my boat
totes McGroats
and that's all she wrote

Messing around with a jingle for a friend. Unsolicited of course

I'm not goofing

your father cry

complete nonsense with a few tasty licks.  Worth 1.75 listens, except there are a few good sounds toward the end, so maybe 2.
