Did you know that vinegar dissolves pears? Could you ask for a more poetic metaphor? :-)
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
Did you know that vinegar dissolves pears? Could you ask for a more poetic metaphor? :-) This is odd. An image of a person whose prayers for being turned to stone are answered. I apologize for bad production. I recorded without a click track and got lazy, so this is very sloppily copy-pasted together.
Lyrics
On the morning he woke up and felt a stiffness in his joints he lit up a four leaf clover cigarette and crossed his fingers for more good luck on the morning after the sun broke through his curtains with the good news that his fingers would never cross again and that their tips were tinged sligthly grey "There's nothing for me in this corrodable world some day we're all gone vanished like vinegar pearls" he'd shout to the skies with his mind on the girl "please make it change, I'll give you anything" As the days went by, he felt his bones cementing themselves into his joints and his muscles cramping and setting in place to never move again On the morning he looked in the mirror for the very last time he saw a granite statue looking back through his smiling eyes that were fading to grey "There's nothing for me in this corrodable world some day we're all gone vanished like vinegar pearls" he'd shout to the skies with his mind on the girl "please make it change, I'll give you anything"
