I'm in a songwriting mood, for obvious reasons...  This one is mostly Dmin7, Emin7, Cmaj7, Amin7, and other variations running along those lines. -pj

Butterfly

a butterfly burns
in a crystal vase
and we all cry, fly away!
a pretty girl
drips lonely tears
and we all look far away
beauty dies
from an overdose
and we all think what a waste
and no-one sees
the pain relieved
when the butterfly burns away

butterfly, flutter by back to me
baby butterfly: original is beautiful

a flower fades
in a plastic vase
and we all sing, not today
an ugly woman
hides her face
and we all look away
wisdom dies
from a lonely life
and we all dress up to mourn her day
and no-one sees
the pain relieved
when the flower fades away

but i
i see it in her eyes
feel it and i hear it in the silent flicker
of grace

Shall we play?


Wednesday, August 03, 2005

ok ok sorry for losing the faith man.

...

on an unrelated whim, i think libby should be the official bandmaster.  this is for several reasons:

1) she's cooler than the rest of us
2) she's the only girl so she won't be locking horns with anybody cuz... only guys have horns...
3) of the four of us, she's the most humble/shy with her songwriting, meaning she'd probably be less imposing than... well, me.
4) when she does write songs, they kick ass.
5) we usually end up practicing at her house so she usually ends up scheduling the practices anyway.
6) if we ever get any shows in tulsa, it will probably be her fault not ours since she's from tulsa and has hung out at the local coffee shops & venues way more than the rest of us...like, combined.
7) she has the longest hair.  look at audio adreneline for goodness' sakes.
8) i'm pompous and like to name things like "bandmaster" so i don't get all stupid and try to run things

whatever.  what do you guys think?

Peter! Have a little faith my man, have some faith! You don't think you can get rid of me so easily, do you? I know things aren't perfect, but I'm a faithful dog. Uhh, or something like that... Although, I have been working on other stuff this summer. Check it at www.myspace.com/hopingforshayla. Between that and work, I haven't done much else. Anyways, I still want to play with you guys. I know our chemistry needs work, but we're adults, right?  So, unless you guys vote me out of the band, I'm still in. Catch y'all in a couple of weeks.

The one, the only, the extraordinary,

a semester later...

anybody still checking this site?  i think we should keep the dream alive...  i guess for the moment i'm thinking hunt prolly ditched us (?) but libby...jason...we could still do it.  i guess i'm thinking jason can promote himself to guitar and we could add another nerd like nate hunt. 

then we'd still be dollar, jackson, hunt and vermette...how sweet.

anyway...we need to work on dynamic, obviously.  that's something i'm not too great at.  but i can follow if jason or one of the others wants to take lead...and we don't have to play my stuff if you guys are tired of cheese.

point: i want to keep playing.

conclusion: let's do it.
