Why do I write songs like this? I need therapy.
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

Lyrics
Hey, dude hold your breath never thought you'd drink of death dude, hey float my way take me for a swim someday oh my please don't die before you've had a chance to try oh dear came too late I guess you're off the hook now mate don't say I didn't warn you you'd meet with me someday I found you in the water belly up, as some say well buckle down, you oughta we've taxied on the runway don't you wish you had one more day to say the things that you wanna say? Nothing I can do bout that, that's what you all say Hey, girl look around never thought you'd find yourself on the ground girl, hey you're dressed so smart but you're thirty-one with a busted heart oh my please don't die before we've counted all your lies oh dear came too late working 90-hour weeks might not be so great don't say I didn't tell ya we'd meet sooner or later you tried to make a million and you were struck by your fate, yeah what doesn't make you stronger'll kill ya and you left a smoking crater don't you wish you had one more day to say the things that you wanna say? Nothing I can do bout that, that's what you all say
