This one felt good to write. I needed to write it. Had to. Been mulling around over it for a week or two now. So I sat down last night and got to hammerin. I wouldn’t say it came out easy, but once I found a form I could work with everything slowly dropped into place.
If you’ve paid attention at all to any of my songs, you can see this one is pretty typical of the way I write a tune. It’s all about playing with repeating phrases, I guess. Not that I only do that in every song I write, but, most often, I do that in songs I end up liking the best.
This, I think, is also one of those tunes that I write and enjoy good enough and even maybe consider it to be a decent stab at something, but then later come back to it, in, say, a week or two, and really get knocked out by it. I think that’s what it is. I think.
Cause, really, I don’t have much of an idea what the song is about. It’s a little bit like “I’m Only Trying to Say What Comes to Me” in that way. Or maybe not. I probably know exactly what this is about. Probably.
So I’ll just see how it goes. I’ll have to try to out live. And I’ll have to try it at different tempos and all that, maybe.
Anyway, let me know what you think about it.

One thought on “New Song: I wouldn’t have to keep you on my mind”
