Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

This song is a handy tool for if you want to annoy somebody. It just does the same annoying thing over and over...then, if you put it on repeat mode, you can annoy that person all day long!!! Don’t ask me what inspired me to do this; it’s a tool you can use, though, if needed.

This is the next song in the possession album: The fire god is getting ready to go to the sun, and they say their tearful goodbyes, he and the girl/me-character. Then they realize, oh, wait. We're stuck together! What do we do?

I was just dorking around while working on another song, and something pleasant came outta my guitar. It's got air conditioner sounds, too!

This is a song that I think a lot of people can relate to. It's about how I was living in an apartment with noisy neighbors a few years back when I was living up north. Noisy neighbors who had parties all the time and played loud, dumb music. The bass in the very beginning is my attempted simulation of the icky bass line that came through the wall when the neighbors were playing their dumb music.

I've been meaning to post this song for a while cuz my iPod sometimes randomly shuffles songs unexpectedly and plays stuff from my library I haven't heard in a while. This is a song from when I first started doing therapy and it was quite an experience. coming into contact with people's suffering and plights on a weekly basis. People with a sense of desperation who want to be told what to do to get outta their suffering.

I was fiddling around on my guitar; and I did this weird arpeggiated chord thingy, and it made me think it might be a thing that's in a Linkin Park song. But I couldn't think  of the song. Maybe I'll hear the actual Linkin Park song it's in (if it is in a Linkin Park song) someday, and go, "Oh, that's the one." But, for now, it's a great mystery, whether this guitar chord thingy is in a Linkin Park song or not.

This is the next song in the possession album. The fire god, who's about to go back up to the sun, talks to the girl and tells her that, in the end, they'll meet again. That everyone goes back to the river of life in the end.

I'm posting this here demo of a possession album song. Yesiree.

This song came from a dream, and it was a challenge to make into something with a coherent theme, given the dream-like-ness of the lyrics. See, I saw my cat, and she looked kinda spooked. Her eyes looked big, and she reminded me of an owl. As I drifted off to sleep, shortly after seein' her that way, these lyrics came to me. They did. 

This is a song about seeing someone you haven't seen in a while, and they're all of a sudden a lot skinnier than they used to be. Are they on a diet? Or is it a health problem? I put a trigger warning on this cuz this type of thing might remind people of losing loved ones to bad illnesses. I dunno if this is explicit or not, lyrics-wise cuz it has the word, "balls" in it. Does that count as an explicit expletive? I'm not sure, so I'm tagging this explicit just to be safe.
