And now for something completely different?

Yeah, I spend most of my song-writing time working on short songs about food, animals, space, etc. But a tune popped into my head in the shower (really) and I decided to try to write a full-on pop song. That is, a song that's not weird or silly. I played it on the keyboard for Maggie and she thought it sounded pretty good, so I recorded it. That is, a song that's not weird or silly.

I'm pretty happy with the results. The musical mode is the same: weird noises, synths, glockenspiel, melodica, etc. It's just not silly. Heck, it's like a bum-assed love song, and I'm happily married, so the subject matter isn't even relevant to me. The lyrics are pretty generic anyways, but the song sounds pretty cool I think. Anyway, here's my stab at down-tempo pop!

I'm The Winner

Let me know what you think, since this is an experiment. (And don't worry, I'm working on a song about babies fighting ninjas.)

Comments:
hey that's a pretty cool song. You should make more like that.

And make more about the dreams and aspirations of vacuum cleaners.
