Day 28: House by a hill

Tonight was pretty funny, due mostly to my messing up my calendar and Dave just taking my word for the scheduled changes. I had booked a jamming studio for tonight, but only two of us showed up, because the agreed session with the rest of the band was next week.

Still, we ended up having a pretty good time jamming to our iPads: first whatever music I put on shuffle, then a beat machine app, then a tenori-on.

Eventually though, we decided to set an iPhone in the room to record whatever impromptu jam I threw out. This is a song I wrote fairly recently, and Dave hadn't heard it before. That fact isn't evident in the recording. :)

I also decided, rather conveniently, to use this as Day 28. Why not.

Counting Down

(New video posted Jan 12, don't think anybody will be missing the last video of a long car ride and my yellow shoes.)

Decided to take a break from the recent spate of composite video cover songs I've been making to record an original.  

It's calling Counting Down, and I hope it helps someone out there. It helped me. :)

You can download the mp3 if you like.

Late night
I'm counting down the days till you'll be gone
Till I cannot see your face in all those times
All the places you've marked I hear your laughter

1 2 3 4
Taking down the signs
I placed to guide myself to you
Got to find a new path to light at this fork

Bridge:
A month for every year we've been together
That's the rule
You like rules
Then the encore comes to end.

Chorus:
Counting down the days to being okay
Yes I'm fine don't ask
How I'll get there 
I'm not sure
See you on the other side of town
Got to go right now
Sitting on a bucket of patience
Hoping

Distance
Closing off the memories at my gate
Gonna move away from the life we had
Wait out the fire
The chapter closes

Some day
Soon I'll wake up and turn around
And forget to look for you beside
Then I'll know that I can start anew
