    The floor’s gone out.

    I just thought you should know.

    gone running through the green
    chasing after unicorns in
    the backyard of childhood dreams
    waving with their hacksaws
    and their axes and their gonnes
    grind a horn to tincture, say they
    to drink to gruesome songs

  • Fresh failures

    Well, that would be two recent projects that just don’t have what I think is needed for prime time.

    First, the song I was working on as an experiment where folks write the lyrics in a certain genre to a song of mine they never heard… I tried to make something of that last week and the initial takes just felt awkward. It’s not for the lack of Chris and Sandy’s lyrical talents; rather, I just couldn’t find a way to make either of them work well. Close, but no banana, as they say. It ended up feeling as if I should be doing less, rather than more, on the lyrics front. And my mind is blank for what would work, if you can believe that crap.

    As an experiment, it was fun, but I don’t think anyone would thank me for putting the result out with their name associated. So, I’ll let it rest a bit and see if I either get a better sense of rhythm and flow to the lyrics, or if I come up with some of my own.
