Song 1/4 of my 'look back into childhood'.
UPDATE - September 23rd, 2007 ========================== Third time completing the 50 song challenge. This time, I broke 3 hours of recorded music in less than 90 days. And I'm happy with most of it. Phew... UPDATE - September 10th, 2006 ============================ Well, I finished the 50 song challenge again, this time a little faster than last year. This notwithstanding that I had a baby on july 30th. I'm tired. But see you next year! UPDATE - September 14th, 2005 ============================= I finished the 50 songs challenge, using 69 of the 90 days provided (I started July 7th). This means that I have written and recorded a bit over 5 songs a week on average - from scratch every time. That's a lot, and I must admit, I'm tired. But it was a fantastic experience, in no small part thanks to the great environment of the Yahoo! group "50songs90days", where the challenge was taking place. It has been a great year for the challenge, I think, with all participants cranking out a lot of really great songs. See you next year.... Oh yeah, before I forget. Up there it says "49 songs available for download" and not "50 songs" -- but one of the mp3s, "Half Way There / Half Way Back" is a four-and-a-half-minute track consisted of two complete, seperate songs medleyed together. So I did actually do all 50 songs. :-) ------------------ Songs written from provided song seeds. Posted to the "50 song challenge" =============== Anyway, I'd like to try something. I work best in controlled, limited conditions, so I'd like to introduce the concept of a "song seed". A song seed consists of a key, a tempo and a first word or sentence for the lyrics. For instance, a key could read Seed: (G minor, 97 bpm, "Breathe in") Anybody who wants to, please post as many seeds for me as you want in this group. I will then concoct the songs starting from these parameters. Thanks Snogledk

Story behind the song
Song 1/4 of my "look back into childhood". This one deals with trying to regain childhood. Note the smooth title segue from "One Trick Pony" :-P
Lyrics
what if you took a ride took a ride and forgot your shoulder? what if you ordered a meal and told'em to hold the distractions what do you think you'd get? what do you think you'd get were you told about the burnt scent of bees? were you told about the stork and the storm? were you told about the planes and the towers and did your mommy feel slightly less warm? what if you just took a ride took a ride and forgot you had things to do what if you called up the bank and told them to go fuck themselves? what do you think you'd get? would you have a roof over your head? Were you told that you wouldn't always get to take off your shoes and socks and trace the ocean edge with your toesies because of a thousand clicking clocks? ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony what if you pulled the plug stopped playing the game when you're running out of luck when was the last time you were on the ground looking up into the stars, watching thin clouds brush the moon and imagined you were on Mars? If you take my fears I will take your terror, detonate your tears disconnect the years If you take my fears ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony ride a pony, ride a pony
