Week 33 - Soon

Well, here it is folks - the 33rd song on my 33rd birthday.

This has been an interesting experiment so far.  I'm learning more about myself than I ever dreamed (or feared) possible. The lesson I'm taking away from these past few weeks (and this should be rather clear if you've been paying attention) is this: happiness doesn't really agree with me, it just freaks me out.

So, again, I must nod in the direction of my beleaguered boyfriend who really is much better to me (and for me) than these past five or six songs would have you believe.  I'm just a tormented, drama queen of a singer/songwriter and the idea of being romantically satisfied is a very unsettling notion to me.

Week 32 - Save You

This one was hastily written and hastily recorded. Many apologies.

However, next week will be a special week because i'll be uploading Week 33 on the day I turn 33.

That's pretty exciting, no? Stick around. The fun never stops.

Week 31 - Heart is a Hole in Your Head

There's something going on with my MacBook, so I had to record this one on JF's computer.  For some reason, the MacBook pro doesn't have the crinkly fun built-in mic that the regular ol' macbook does, and this recording suffers a bit for that.

Otherwise, this is a pretty decent song, with some pretty good lyrics.  (It's depressing as hell though).

Week 30 - OK

So, listen.

I know I've been getting lazy. Sloppy, some might say.  Complacent?  I really can't argue with these perceptions.  But, I'm still doing this bydangit, and that still counts for something.

Doesn't it?

I wrote this one in a rare moment of sobriety, in the midst of a late-nite crowd at my open mic.  I read somewhere once that true self-realization (in the spiritual sense) comes when you are able to see yourself as a perfect, without judment, in all your imperfections.  I guess I was feeling as close to that as I had in a while, so I felt the need to jot down something about it.

Fitting, I suppose, considering how imperfectly I've been handling my little project as of late.  (I promise I'll get better about that...)
