Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

Okay, yeah. I just did this demo this week (the week of September 26th); I wanna make it into a fleshed out song, but in the meantime, I'm gonna put it on a timer set to go off in a couple weeks. I'm doing that because if I die before I get to finish the song, at least there'll be something out there for posterity (or posterior). I have 2 other songs with the same name but neither of them are how I initially imagined this song to go. This one's closer. I may end up doing, yet, other versions of Half Blind and Out of Balance. I might end up with 50 of them.

This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 3. The girl comes from home from hanging out with her friends; she calls her controlling boyfriend, and he asks her if she smoked cannabis. That's what this song's about. It's kinda a rush job cuz it's Friday the 13th and I actually had all kinds of bad luck that required me to work till 7pm. So, this is a late-in-the-day-tired-person-doing-a-rush-job-recording.

My work involves meeting lots of nice people that I only get to see once and never get to see again, so this song's about that, sort of.

Yes, indeed, this is another weekend of trying to write a song called, "Half Blind and Out of Balance" as I imagine it. It's sorta a rough demo. I'll do a more polished version at some point, where it fits my vocal range better.  I'm zeroing in on it, I'm zeroing in on this song bein' finally to my liking, after 3 years of trying to imagine what a song called, "Half Blind and Out of Balance" should sound like. It's gettin' there, I tell ya. It's gettin' there. Yessiree.

This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 3. It's about how the main character, after neglecting her friendships for a year, in the context of the fucked up relationship, goes back to her friends and they welcome her back. those are the friends in the band with the banjo that she used to be in. They smoke pot. 

Okay, I think this is better, in terms of the overall song structure. Sorry for being so capricious, but I didn't want the sun to set on a song whose structure was not all-the-way to my liking. Poopity poops.

This is the next song in the Fucked Up Relationship Album, Part 3. Actually, it's the first song, probably, of this album. I realized this album needed a song that sorta introduces it, so here it is. It might not be that good, though. I'm not sure yet. But it's about rebooting the relationship like how you reboot a computer when it's going all wonky.

I was thinkin', when I initially recorded that wee little demo last week of the hook of this song, I should make it a song about alienation. But I wasn't sure how to do that. Then I realized I could just make it about being, literally, an alien. So, here's my song song about being an alienated alien.
