Mister Moodie


I didn't post this for a long time because its very... unfinished, and out of sync. The microphone I have is very ah, single-minded and can really only record one thing at a time. When I have it pointed at my piano and sing and play at the top of my lungs - it will never pick up my voice. It's great for not having to worry about background noise. But irritating in the recording process.

So.

This particular song gave me a lot of trouble (probably because I have a shitty sense of rhythm to begin with) and I'm not pleased with it, but felt the need to post it, just to post sooomemething.


It's about a pact a friend of mine made with me when I last visited him. We are both musically inclined people, and he writes music all the time for his guitar and piano (usually after downing half a bottle of Jack Daniels). He wanted to know if we could find a way to send each other music each week, and in this sense, keep each other artistically encouraged. However, it soon became a one sided thing, where I was the only one sending him things. This song was me asking him to finally write me back. (Which the busy bastard never did.)

Anyway. Enjoy my attempt at some jazzy chords here.
