Michael's Texas Embrace

My first impulse is to apologize for this. It's really just the same couple of lines over and over. Except that they get mixed up as the song goes along, and I guess that's something. But I can see how this could be annoying. It's also very tinkly sounding. (Props to Andrew Haun for the Christmas gift...I'm using it! Soon I will make it sound better! And, props to my mom for the christmas gift. She got me the super slide whistle; it's metal and has about a two and a half octave range. Every year I ask for toy instruments and noise makers, this year people really delivered. It's a sure bet with me. I want more!)

So, I am sorry.

And yet, this seems like a return to something older for me. I think it's all the toys, and the incongruous chorus that almost sounds like a "serious" song. This song just sort of happened yesterday. (I had the day off.) It has inspired me, though. I want to make "drum-n-toy" music for a bit. Also, it makes me want to start a band with a bassist, and then a bunch of people playing whistles and toy glockenspiels and shakers and stuff. The bass is necessary because toy instruments are almost never in the bass range.

But I'm totally going to make more songs with the toys. Oh yeah. They all seem to be in C, so I will be composing in C major or A minor for a bit. Ah well.
