Just messing around in a hotel room today, recorded this.

Hallelujah V2.0.1

Sloppy 1-hour session, just to capture the feel of the song.  Future versions will feature guitar work that doesn't sound like monkeys banging on eviscerated pianos.

The Virus Of Life v0.1

Discord-M354-403-piano-violin

Best Intentions v0.1

New to this version: added intro and improved lead vocal fidelity, lowered organ and backing vocals slightly

Ends of Empire v0.2

First impressions of a Requiem in Bb...might become "Blue Notes", or maybe be absorbed into the second development of Berceuse in D ("Mine on Saturdays") or "Best Intentions"

Chord progression is...
Bb Bbmaj7 F Fmaj7
Dm A7
G F C#dim Dm
C#dim C7 A

Requiem in Bb v0.1

Need to Know v0.1.0

This is track 1 from our upcoming album “Not Invited Back”
This version has been tweaked (again) in the mastering process to optimize the EQ for automotive sound systems and headphones.

LYRICS:

On a lonely summer day
Back in Altus, Oklahoma
Just a click, took a trip
Went somewhere new
Where I met all of you

I don’t mean to brag
But this is the eleventeenth
Time we’ve died
I don’t mean to bring you down
(Down)

When we were six
We thought we were clever
And we thought we’d be six
For ever and ever

Springtime, ROTC jock at nerd school
Sky high in Golden, Colorado
PMV surprised me, showed me how to lie
Fandom's getting better all the time, kid

I don't want to whine
But this is the twentieth draft we've trashed
I don't think it's fine at all
(Fine)

Now that we’re seven
We’re actually clever
And I think we’ll be seven
For ever and ever

On a lonely, sweaty day
Back at Camp Foster, Okinawa
Feeling Stressed, over-dressed, and a bit depressed
Party of One showed what I missed

It’s always overtime
And I don’t think I’ve got another rhyme
I’m sorry, I don’t got the time

And when we’re eight
We’ll finally be clever
And I think we’ll be great
For ever and ever
