Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

Here's the next song in the possession album. Father O'Malley, after communicating with the fire gods in the sun, tells everyone what they said to him.

This song came from a dream. That's why the lyrics are a little bit weird and abstract. It's about weed being a heavenly plant. It's heavenly, just heavenly.

This is the next song in the possession album; since the fire god is worried that his friends in the sun would judge him for his fires bein' more outta control than previously because of climate change, Father O'Malley offers to communicate with those gods in the sun. According to him, since he talks to angels and God Almighty on a regular basis, he should be able to talk to the fire gods, as well.

Here's a song about how when we die, our body is still here and turns into the earth. But, if the law of conservation (or whatever it's called) in physics is correct, then the energy that comprises our minds also must stick around. That raises the question: Do consciousnesses merge into some kind of collective the same way our bodies merge into the earth when we die? Is it like a raindrop falling into a river and becoming part of the river?

Here's another version of I Didn't Treat You That Well I recorded today. I wasn't all the way happy with the other one, but I want both to be up because other people might think the first version is just dandy. The first version is more angsty, and this one is more - I dunno what you'd call it. Happy 80's rock? Bluegrassy delight? Something like that, maybe.

This is a song about no one in particular, but it could apply to lots of people. It's a song where the narrator is apologizing to someone she mistreated in the past. I can think of a bunch o' people that that could apply to, and to them I'm issuing a heart-felt apology. That's one of those things I think most people can relate to, having mistreated someone and feeling bad about it later on.

In this song, the fire god talks to the girl/me-character about how he's going to miss her when he goes back to the sun. He compares going back to the sun to being a foster animal and going back to the animal shelter.

This song is about how, as a species, we're a thousand million miles away from how humans are naturally supposed to live. So we stay glued to our phones and have to take anxiety and depression medication in order to retain our sanity in a world where the powers-that-be make us live under all these dumb, arbitrary rules that make no sense and only benefit them (and not us). It's crap-tastic.

I recorded a song tonight, but I think it really sucks. I'm going to listen to it later and see if I still think it sucks. In the meantime, here's a little ditty about how much that song I recorded sucks. If the song doesn't feel like it has as much suckage as I think it does, I'll post it later. If it it does have as much suckage as I think it might have, I won't post it cuz I want to save your ears from the awfulness of having to hear a song that truly sucks.

I did a li'l experiment, where I recorded all the fireworks out there that make it sound like a war zone and put it in a song. There's even a siren in there, which makes it more deluxe!Oh yeah, if you have any type of trauma or PTSD that makes you easily startled by noises, I wanted to warn you that the loud fireworks sounds are at the very beginning and then come back at 2:12.
