So, this week I found myself entangled in a bit of a situation with a friend. A friend with a penis. This song was inspired by that - specifically the line about pretty girls and mistaking stars for snow. The rest is a loose interpretation of events coupled with the requisite compulsion to compose lines that rhyme.
I have a feeling I may want to change the title of this blog to "Dudes I've Boned this Year and the Resulting Songs About Them," by the way.
I tried something new this week by writing lyrics first, then working on the melody on my guitar later. Wouldn't have even entertained this idea had it not been for Dorian Palumbo, with whom I am working on a very kick-ass musical.
This is also the first time I recorded with Stella (the guitar, not the beer or my dog). It's a really old, awesome and rickety little guitar my cousin Jason gave me that can only handle keeping about 3 strings in tune at a time. I think that limitation shaped the guitar part and it came out rather haunting yet minimalistic.
