Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

This is the next song in the possession album. All the people are standing there, looking at the sunset with the bright green light in it and they finally figure out it's a sign from the fire god that he's alright up there in the sun.

This is a song about how when I went to Dartmouth, I made friends in a nearby town, who weren't fellow students. The town is called Orford. I like the song, but I'm not sure about the recording, itself. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I wanted to try recording this song in another key just to see how all the vocal harmonies and stuff would wash out. This version's in E Major. In case you haven't read the description of the previous version, i's a song about Sunday-Depresso-Land-Adventures.

I was driving back from a road trip today, and around 12-ish o'clock, the idea for this song came to me. It's a depresso-genic depressing song of Sunday-Depresso-land depressingness.

This is the next song in the possession album; everyone's standing there all sad, looking at the sunset, when suddenly, there's that flash of green people talk about.

Yeah, I feel a little "meh" about this one; maybe it'll grow on me. It's about a person who has cats on her bed, but ends up hallucinating a bunch more cats. It's sort of a commentary on how, when you have just 1 or 2 cats on your bed, they end up taking up all the space. I'm not sure how that happens.

This is the first song of 2022. I was loading my dishwasher just now and broke into song. Then I went and recorded the song I broke into.

Okay, here's what I did - I took the 2 recent up and up songs and conglomerated them into one song, which'll be the actual song on the possession album. And I added an ending where I accomplished making a musical MC Escher stairway!!! It really goes up and up for reals! See, in my previous attempts, it sounded in a lot of parts like the up and up vocals were going back and forth instead of up and up. But I realized if I interspersed the vocal lines with guitar lines, that would fix the problem. Mission accomplished. Mission accomplished!!!!!! I have a song that goes up and up and up forever.It's a long trip to that there sun. I figure that fire god's trip to the sun is a long one, so this song illustrates that point. Then he makes it to the sun. Yay!

It's New Year's Eve-Day, yesiree. I always get sad when the year switches over, especially if the old year was a good one. This year, I wanted to do a song, which is a reprise of an earlier song from this year (same melody and stuff, but different lyrics) as my last song of 2021. It's a song where I talk about the fact that I wrote over a hundred songs this year. Man. I think that's the first time that's happened in a calendar year. So, this song is a tribute to 2021, the year that was kind enough to me to let me write a lot of songs.

This is the next song in the possession album. The Fire God has returned to the sun, and now me, Father O'Malley, Timmy, and Bobby are standing there, all depressed, looking at the sunset.
