Liner Notes

I was washing dishes this weekend and wrote this in my head while thinking about the next song I'll be writing and the week 2 FAWM challenge (wawtooth melody.) It's a brief bit of nonsense, but I found it helpful in a few technical ways--specifically learning some of the newer features of my DAW that I'd been ignoring.

It it what it is: an exercise. I kind of like the idea, though. Maybe even enough to revisit it from a slightly more serious bent. Maybe.

Lyrics

This is a song about the next song that I’ll be writing It’s a song, about the next song I will play, So sing along. You know it all seems so exciting, ‘Cause I’m writing and inviting you to stay.

Will it be the kind of song that is inciting us to think? Will it be the kind of song that will be driving us to drink? Will it be happy or sad in its own way? Or remembering when and wanting brighter days…?

This is a song about the next song I’ll be writing It’s a song, about the next song that I’ll play, So so sing along. Because it all seems so exciting, ‘Cause I’m writing and inviting you to stay.

I think I’ll write a song so serious and silly and profound A song with words like daggers, but still soft and big and round A song that crosses genres for miles, But still a pitch perfect example of its style!

This is a song about the next song I’ll be writing It’s a song, about the next song that I’ll play, So so sing along. You know this all was so exciting, I’m done writing. Now, it’s time you go away…

This has a very Barenaked Ladies / They Might Be Giants vibe to it. Great tune.

Lovely little bit of meta there. "A song so serious and silly and profound" - in other words, a Mikey Mason song. I can't wait to hear that next one.

Love a meta song! This reminds me of the Wiggles or another bouncy kids song. Just get caught up and want to dance to it.

Haha, this is awesome. Reminds me of They Might Be Giants or something Dr. Demento would have played. The lyrics are really clever and work really well with the melody. Nice work!
