I recorded one take on piano and the other on guitar. Not sure which is better. Wheel of Fortune Verse 1 She left on a Las Vegas get away A road divine providence had paved He was a gambler ramble man She became his biggest fan Chorus Ride the wheel of change Good or bad […]

This song is an experiment to see if I could make the dominant metaphor work for the length of a whole song. I guess it’s up to you folks to tell if it succeeded! A game of cards I stare at you You glare at me Distrust is felt quite mutually just like a game […]

Ok here we go took 52 minutes Pheew. Nice prompt !   1, Deep inside the corner Surrounded by prole In piles of cards He carries her soul   Chorus: Pair of knights Black king a queen All the walls shadows Just entered the scene   2, Look straight in his eyes Shes under the […]

More folky than I usually do but skirmish stream of conciousness rules. Closer to 1:10 before uploading. New demo done after skirmish.   One Eyed Jack No one knows where he come from Just drifted in one day Couldn’t tell if he was on the run Or if he’d come to stay With a leather […]

An instrumental on acoustic guitar, written on Friday afternoon (therefore, the title). Original plan was to create a guitar track I could play slide guitar solos on top of, but the guitar-only version sounded just fine on its own. Guitar in tuned with D and A strings at C and G.

Friday Afternoon Friday afternoon Is the end of my weekend A weekend which is one day long I won’t complain– I chose to live this way And my Friday’s great, don’t get me wrong.   It’s a time to make music It’s a time to sing some songs It’s a time for mirth and laughter […]

Aaah did not realize my own suggestion would be first. Well this song is an extremely fast version of what happends in my brain from lunch til I can go home at fridays. And yes I had some fun with the rhymelist   Tick Tock (C) acousticmaddie 2017 1, Falling down on my knees tick […]
