its my first song in another language.

i'm not sure if i like this song. it has a ruff sort of flow and recording. i was thinking of adding some mellow synth backing to help it sound full but i don't want to start that now, so i wont.

More of a demo of an idea than a finished song, here it is nonetheless.

there are two reasons that i decided the cover this song of peters.
A. its easy B. it has a wonderful sense of irony
the strong things of this earth will be made foolish.

their aren't many things that take "it puts me to sleep" as a complement. i think this song takes it wonderfully.
thanks jason for making music and letting me give it a try.
