and those showboats running…
(composed from several song sections in spring 2008)
this is a song that was pieced together because my songwriting output was becoming too fast (and i needed a good umbrella to capture all the pieces)
it’s a compilation of 5 song sections:
‘lady of the night’
‘Wind-Up’
‘Closer’
‘McFadden’s’
‘More Beer Please’
Socrates said: “Music Is Sex”
(after I inquired as to how well ‘the ladies’ had been treating him…)
Music as woman / Composer as man / Creative Process as sexual intercourse
Transition from major chord (I root) to major chord (minor VI root) is inherently unsettling to the human ear…
Write in all keys (tonal exploration)
I was only free to develop my music when the sun went down…
(an artist in corporate shackles)
(charged with “failure to connect with the masses”)
(sentence: rescind daylight-hour music privileges)
Alternative options:
Community Service (“teach the children”)
Indentured Servitude (“coffee bean dispenser”)
jesus Lady Of The Nighttime
(dark where no light shows…)
livetype animated lyrics
(plain jogajungle white on black background)
