Sorry for the slow down. I have some actual work (of the paying variety) to finish. More songs soon! I promise.
Song a day 19. Coco Piano
This was supposed to be today’s song, but I’m uploading it as yesterday’s… confused? As you might guess from the title, I had help with this one. Coco improved a piano jam and gave directions to mom and dad about keys to play.
Song a day 18. Magnet to Static
This one came out of nowhere (don’t they all) after I had been working on another song for a few hours. Possibly a repeat… too many songs to remember.
Song a day 17. Engine
This one should be another Coco favorite. Chug-Chug!
Song a day 16. Situational Void to Galaxy
More can opener guitars and a voice the high school me might have have gravitated towards.
Song a day 15. To the Trees
Glam doo-wop, maybe.
Song a day 14. Laff Trak
You decide
Song a day 13. Siren
I know 13… what happened to 12, right. I’m not sure. There are a couple of scrapped tracks that I might try to revive, but for now, I’m a day behind.
Go, go harmony!
Song a day 11. Twin Sinus Automatic
Holy smokes, it’s not even midnight. I was having trouble tonight, but a healthy dose of fuzz factory brought me around.
Song a day 10. Madge and Chatter.
I had bigger plans for this one. Imagine accordion, horns, bass, and a little electric guitar. Better drums too, but that’s kind of a given with these songs.
Anyway, I thought it might make for a good read, so follow along, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Magenta, she went calling on the local grocery store
It was just a simple errand before she went home
Chatter was in aisle three thinking he was alone
And when the regret set in she stepped into the fold
Their eyes were sympathetic through the haze of the freezer door
Her arms were full of submarines, he didn’t ask what for
They carried on in the parking lot hours after close
They hid in her Carolla taking off their clothes
Every day for three weeks, they met in the parking lot
bleeding with discretion and a promise never to get caught
And they talked for hours about ways to go legit
Chatter was dug his heals in when magenta touched her hips
The next day it was decided to put the car in gear
She chewed all her nails off, Chatter drank a beer
Magenta sat behind the wheel and turned the radio on
They sang along with built to spill, joyride was their song
Nothing suspicious
About two lovers in love
Mister and missus
Caution on the run
The statues at the courthouse passed in white hot bliss
And so did her apartment, where she never lived
Chatter kept his mouth shut, Magenta wrestled bold
Their secret wrapped in amber, for show but never told
Just nerves were settling, there was a light out on the green
The boy ran out from nowhere, more felt than ever seen
What just happened Chatter he heard Magenta scream
And she would tell him later, she couldn’t lift her feet
Hours passed in miles, 700 was 8 O’Clock
They each took turns driving and never asked why not
When they hit the border was the first time Magenta talked
All she said was sorry, Chatter said just drive don’t stop
22 years later and four states twice removed
Magenta went by “Sally” and she called him “Stew”
She was pumping gas one day, the police were too
She knew that she had been made when Chatter told the truth
Nothing suspicious
About two lovers in love
Mister and missus
Caution on the run
