Feel the...um, something...

I recorded a new version of a song that's two years old, that no one has ever heard.

About two years ago Maggie went off to a conference for school and left me at home with the dog...and a terrible sickness. I didn't go to work. I could barely speak. I laid in the living room and watched asian movies and anime and talked to the dog and took lots and lots and lots of medicine and drank waaaay to much tea with honey in it. I think I put theraflu in the tea, in fact. At some point I became fascinated with my froggy, croaky voice, and recorded a song on the fly. The song is the song I'm posting here, and I don't think I changed it that much.

So, this song doesn't make much sense. It's weird, but not really funny. Since I was sick, and drugged, and sort of one-taked the words, I guess it's just whatever the heck it is. But for some reason, I have thought about this dumb-ass song a number of times these past two years, so I decided to record it.

The Flames

I thought I was trying something different with the production, trying to be more sparse. I don't know think it ended up that way, but the bass is thumpier, and the tambourine is more prominent, so I guess that's something. I also reveled in the use of my analog gear, so filters and ring mods and analog delay abounds. I'm not too sure about the mix; I might redo the whole thing sometime. But here's what I gots so far, yos.

Lyrics!

Um, yes.

Comments:
Honestly, I think this is one of my all time favorites. I loved everything about it! Thanks for rebirthing it.
 
For some reason, this one got me thinking about * my * personal all-time favorite song of yours, the Engineer's Lament. Any chance of that one coming back to life? It's a good one to sing with a group 5 beers into the night....

6 beers into the night, and the tears start flowing with the lyrics... *sniffle*
 
You've inspired me! I'm going to try a new, fancy recording of the Engineer's Blues. I listened to the old one...man! What a terrible recording! I'm going to fix that!
