Okay, so all that madness last night at the apartment complex got me going and so this morning I was strumming quietly and I stumbled across a gentle shuffle in e minor while words were rolling and flowing in my head. Nothing formal came of it but it was all there, bouncing and bounding. Naturally, I had to abort any progress to go to the unnameable day job. Well all day long the e minor shuffle was there and the words were there, sort of quietly pulsating. I just forwarded my phone and ran to the outdoor break area and sat at the picnic table (despite the fact that it is currently raining!) with my notebook, scrawling all this down like a fevered madman. I may just have something here. Drum roll...Here's the first couple stanza's and the chorus.
Please let me know what you think of this. i'm going to work on this tonight to get it firmed up (note: some lyrics I know are bad, just place-holders and the title is just a working title) and, should my resolve stiffen, play it at an open mic night. if nothing else though, I'll record a video of me playing and put up here.
