Outtakes
Impossible dream of: warm soup in cans making a list of truly random numbers carrying the bass amp with one arm a tiny house in the stacks of the library playing guitar like Will Long bottomless bowls of granola and yogurt It grows like: compound interest entropy average temperature of the earth children embryos our oceans those ozone holes at the poles our hair and fingernails after we're dead emerging economies
Song Writer Notes
A silly fun song. After listening to this again this morning, I think it could use a bridge.
Comments
This made me smile ear to ear and then at "iguanas" it made me laugh out loud. Hee-hee.
- I really like the keyboard work, both the sound and the parts. It even reminds me of Written In The Sand a bit. I am all about the groany lower parts at the end, which makes the pick-up into that last set of "oo"s sound like a drum fill somehow! I know Conor has been toying with working in more weird synths and stuff for a while, so it's nice to hear some solid progress on that front.
- My favorite part is the "How are you?"s. I just love the rhythm. Not knowing what to expect, or at least, when to expect something, really puts you on the edge of your seat and sucks you into the song.
- Just the idea of offbeat "oohs"! Was that hard to do? I would think it'd take some concentration to not just fall into step together.
- The effect of the offbeat oohs, spreading the melody around and refracting it in the neatest ways.
- This song is impossibly cute, but it's also tempered by weird stuff like iguanas and doom, and mold, and protein fold chaperones. Which keeps it from giving me a toothache.
- The impossible dream of playing guitar like Will Long: Shared by many.
- Re: the rest of the outtakes, I love seeing them, but I think you chose well.
- As for a bridge, I think the "How are you"s serves as a nice break, it's short and keeps the listener on their toes; I almost hear that as a bridge. Where were you thinking of putting one?
Thank you, thank you! I am not going to stop smiling all day.
