Written for Reddit’s Song a Week subreddit for 2018 week 11. I don’t particularly care for this, but it was the first attempt I made that was actually finished by the Wednesday night deadline. Rhythm guitars are my strat through my 15 watt…

My first crack at Reddit’s Song a Week challenge. I didn’t finish on time. The prompt for 2018 week 9 was two minutes. The idea was to have the run time be less than two minutes. Mine was, except for the cymbal decay on the last note which…

There is a lot that I like about this one. There is one thing that annoys the shit out of me. On about half of this year's songs I tried to write the melody ahead of writing the lyrics. I noodled a piano melody and recorded it, then wrote…
