2021 5090 Song Number 30. 60% of the way there. 7/8 time. A little heavier rawk than most of my stuff this summer. Not bad. The lyrics are about the weather, which is something I tend to write about often and that's probably a hint at just…

2021 5090 song number 29. I'm having a tough time with the vocals these days. It just sounds off on this song and that's becoming normal. Is it because I am writing melodies that are more difficult to sing, or is it because my ears are going…

2021 50/90 Challenge Song Number 28. There's not a lot to this one but I like it. It's not my best vocal performance buy an astronomical unit or two, but it isn't as painful as some of them have been this summer. There are some points where…

2021 50/90 Challenge Song Number 27 You know what? I like this one a lot. I haven't done much of what you could call "hard rock" this summer, but this one might qualify. It's another in a growing line of songs in 3/4 time that are attempts…

2021 5090 Song Number 24 Massachusetts state law mandates that all internet based song writing challenges include at least one bluesy balladish song in 6/8 time. I didn't want to write this, The Man made me. I like the melody, I like the…

2021 5090 Challenge Song Number 23 of (hopefully) 50 I like this one. The lyrics are actually about something so that makes it a little uncomfortable, and I am a little unhappy with how the rhythm guitars sound, but otherwise I can live with…

2021 5090 Song Number 22. I am sort of liking this one. It's okay though maybe a bit generic. The lyrics are about a real world situation that's none of your business. Guitar is my Les Paul Standard, amp is my Fender Bassbreaker 15. Pedals…

2021 5090 Song Number 21 70-75 beats per minute is sort of my happy place. My groove's comfort zone if you will. If I didn't stop myself, I'd write everything at that tempo. This summer I have done a pretty good job avoiding it. So much…
