-diamonds in the rough-*themes*

(written sometime around fall 2008)

(began as an acappella melody floating in my head)
(as i waked and baked)

(melody got stuck in my head one cold stoned sunday morning as my did my laundry)

my ‘piano’ song

soulful singing

nostalgia song

(about reconnecting with padua?)

(about my paul mccartney optimistic nature)

(trish riccio loves the song)
(as does izzy brereton)
(and my mother)

rejected by TAXI:

the loose feel has a ‘ raw’ appeal.. soulful vocal delivery. my favorite track of these three.. lyrics and melody, groove

i’d avoid using vocal layers on each song.

this one’s work re visiting in my view..

redo the electric guitar.  lead vocal is emotional here. yet the performance is uneven…

years later, i did rework the song and renamed it “point blank” with a simple outro for 2010 itunes album “virgin”

inspired by macca’s “how many million miles” when he adds an “o” to the end of “day”
