Songwriter Notes
i wrote the chords for this today after work and recorded them along with one of the few beats that i could make go slow enough for it. then i put a bit crusher on the drums to make them a little gentler. for the words i was thinking about how i keep accidentally introducing deirdre as my girlfriend... which looks totally sketchy when you are clearly wearing a wedding band. i was hoping to write a song to married woman where it could be a little ambiguous as to whether she is married to the singer, or not... not sure how successful this was. oh well.

Comments
this is a pretty great song. i love the concept for it, about the ambiguity of the relationship between the singer and the woman in question. i also think it's totally funny how you introduce deirdre as your girlfriend. i think the chords and melody here are good, and i think the arrangement isn't bad, but the drums still seem a little rockin' for the feel. throw in a couple synth pads and some distorted bass and it starts to sound very like the flaming lips, i think. DK should like that. some of the lyrics i'm really into (first two lines, choruses), some i'm not as convinced by, but i'll keep listening. the harmonies on the first chorus are great, i really missed them on the second time around on "married woman", and i'd love to hear you expand them for the whole chorus.
i am sorry i haven't been able to keep up with you, and write comments for all of these! they're all so interesting!

yeah, i agree with your assessment on this one. i really struggled to say anything interesting that remained ambiguous in the 2nd and 3rd verse. Oh, and I have a really killer harmony for the second chorus, i recorded it early in the night with different lyrics, but by the time i was recording the final version (around 1am) i didn't have the voice to pull it off. it's way better than the first chorus. I should lay that down. it's killer. Conorl 14:00, 17 February 2009 (PST)
