In the Rain

Written last year for the sole purpose of having an easy, super-poppy song to learn to play the crappy used drum kit I had just bought in Kensington Market. This song wanted to go in a Beatle-y direction, but sadly I think it came out sounding more like The Oneders. It is what it is.

You hit another one out of the park, there, chococat.

That's great stuff. Great sense of place and mood.

I bought last week in Kensington Market
And I wore my brand new Chelsea boots
I rode there on my scooter but there wasn't anywhere to park it."

Thanks, both!

A different Kensington Market, I'm afraid.
If only it were that one.

ORthey: I think my songs are things I'd like to hear on the radio but don't.

yeah, is there a way I can get my college radio station to play this? Cause it needs to be on there.

this is pretty rad. interesting choice to have the lead vox hard panned right. reminds me of 60's mixing, but then you bust in all the other elements around there.

On the simplistic note from your last song, you seem to effortlessly throw out that voice of yours that is so fun to listen to, especially in such a catchy way.

great song, once again. thanks for sharing!

This is great, chococat. Elliott Smith on Prozac (perish the thought). How'd you record the vocals, choc?

I'm going to be playing your stuff on WRFL (University of Kentucky student radio) in Lexington. (The semester has just started, so I don't have a definite timeslot, but I'll be filling for several people in the near-term).

Would you like to be identified as "BGM" on the air? Does that stand for anything? Any personal details I could jabber on about?

Remember me when you make it big.

I'm extremely late but I wanted to let you know that I burned your songs before I went on a ski trip and I gotta say you're pretty effing good. I always knew you were good but I got to hear a lot of your stuff I hadn't heard yet and you've got a super wide range of styles. I'm sure you hear stuff like this all the time but I thought I'd let you know that the last few songs I've tried to write I just kept thinking to myself "how would Chococat write a song?"
