Benjamin's Descent

Distrikt

Boston Sermon

At New Year I promised my brother that I'd write a song for us both to faff with (he's learning to use DAWs) and this is it.  Ironically it doesn't include any of his contributions yet but does include bass and baritone guitar played by a good family friend (Pat Martin).

Its an attempt at a really simple pop-y(?) song that involved a shared memory for my brother and I, so...

Its about catching an overnight coach as a family when we were younger on our first 'proper' holiday.

For total nostalgia the artwork is a photo taken on that holiday.

Monument

The song was written for FAWM and tried to incorporate two of the weekly challenges(monotone and poly-rhythm).  My son was born on Valentines Day so February quickly became full, hence not managing to finish it in time.  ;p

Lyrics:

Oars creak as boats cast away and the portmanteau hides guns from the law. Behind is a judge explaining that only one will make the walk home.

Site is cleared with underbrush aside and the Palisades wont overlook this slight.  With final lots decided and back of seconds turned he raised his hands to the air and let his shot go.

Were you aiming?  Tell me - what have you done?
