Thirty-seven Seconds

My wife went out of town, and she took our son with her. It was the middle of the night, and I was playing ukulele, hoping that I wouldn't wake my daughter up.

I was simultaneously watching the History of Heavy Metal on my TiVo, and started playing with complex chord progressions. I realized I was going to end up spending the whole night doing that, and that if I did I'd feel like crap in the morning. So I decided to write a song as quickly as I could, post it here, and then go to bed. This is that song. it may not go down in history as my best now I'm really thirsty

Good story, sounds like Tender Forever's cover of Justin Timberlake's My Love, specifically when the chorus comes in.

Well, now I'm listening to your song again after looking up the cover I posted above, and maybe they aren't that similar.

But they kinda are.

Nope! Slept all the way through to morning, and I'm pleased to say so did I. :)
