Looking at Witches by Jawbones

Jawbones — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:50:44 -0800

I am re-posting this at the suggestion of another user, this time with lyrics included. This and others are available here. Looking at Wiches Some say they're having a pretty good time And they're working on quitting this town. Everything's working out fine for me. You should see the way I get around. Like a dry drunk Down at the mall. Looking at watches, He feels something crawl Out of a memory He has of a girl. Looking at witches, Down at the mall. And ain't we got friends that are long ago gone and that's all that we want them to be? Nothing but nothing And nothing alone Could make them mean nothing to me. Sometimes in winter you get to go home. You get to dress darkly. You hang up the phone. You walk home from Pittsburgh With one thing in mind. Sometimes in winter, you leave things behind. And we miss when you sing Those old country songs. We get them for free around here, but we don't keep them long. Because we can't keep them long.

Like a dry drunk Down at the mall

Joy In The Morning (Cast Your Stone) by dagosto

dagosto — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:19:23 -0800

An older recording that I just dug up. One of my friend Hawk Coleman's best vocal performances. A bit of a folky melodramatic march that builds pretty big towards the end.

The Best War by soundacious

soundacious — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:02:46 -0800

Believe it or not, this song was not written about the Iraq war. In fact, it was a reaction to something I was sensing in the air back before the first Gulf War, circa 1990. I changed the wording slightly to reflect the times, but the song still works beautifully. The recording is from my new collection 2 O's, 2 E's (a reference to how I spell my last name). You can download the entire album and lots more stuff at johnvoorhees.com.

Werewolf Night by soundacious

soundacious — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:59:35 -0800

Ooo! Spooky! Well, it should be pretty obvious that this song has almost nothing to do with literal werewolves, and everything to do with a predatory mindset, but that doesn’t keep it from weirding my mother out every time I play it!

Devil's X-Ray by Jawbones

Jawbones — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 07:47:17 -0800

A song about a Devil's X-Ray.

Fiesta Time by soundacious

soundacious — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:49:06 -0800

This is my great, sweeping ballad … my Piano Man, if you will. Tinged with chili powder.

Undercover Maggie by soundacious

soundacious — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 08:58:04 -0800

A simple cautionary tale of how celebrity, glamour, ambition and just-plain inauthenticity can twist a human soul. Also, you can dance to it.

Spellbound by motty

motty — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 11:44:24 -0800

Another of the tunes from my band's live recording session this past July.

Lights Upon Us by bingwah

Impossibly Blue by Magnus Jensen

Folk rock song about the belief that one day everything in life will be perfect.

Attack of the Pasta Party Pirates by OverlappingElvis

OverlappingElvis — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:48:28 -0800

An original song by my old band, Selected Letters. Alto Sax, Oboe, Violin, Guitar, Bass, Drums, and a good mix of tight arrangement and improvisation. I miss this band a lot, but it was great while it lasted.

Some Other Boy/Girl by allaboutgeorge

allaboutgeorge — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:38:31 -0800

Wherein I discover you can lyrically abstract and obscurely rearrange an interpersonal situation, but you can't make it blink.

Second Ring by allaboutgeorge

allaboutgeorge — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:30:24 -0800

Wherein I discover writing a song about kissing off an ex is easier and more satisfying than kissing off an ex.
