Good morning and welcome to Music Monday, a new column on this here blog wherein I post an original song every Monday. So, like, once a month.
Oh, for all those new readers (a family member who just learned to read maybe?), by "write and sing", I mean "get an annoying stream of words in my head and then grab my child-sized acoustic guitar and play the one chord I know over and over".
I've written multiple "songs" about my sister and her stupid, beautiful red hair that always gets her a ton of attention; about Gen and that time she ate cat food; I've even written a thoughtful song for my mom when I was too poor to buy her a Mother's Day gift!
But I failed to break into autobiographical territory until this "song", about the unfortunate disproportionation (is that a word?) of my body.
So for all of you out there with T-Rex arms and lady boobs, this song goes out to you.
Sorry, Dad.
Note: I don't write down lyrics or even try to do a second take. That's why all my songs end abruptly and don't have any structure. Sorry, all real musicians, THIS IS A JOKE! Also, can I join fun.?
Note, continued: I'm only writing this note because my one piece of blogger hate mail came from someone telling me I didn't know how to sing or play guitar. Uh, duh! Also send me more hate mail, that totally made me feel cool.
You are completing f*cking warped, but in a good way, I think!
ReplyDeleteI fricken LOVE THIS. You have a lovely voice, you know that Kelly Bergin?
ReplyDeleteOH NO HATE MAIL AGAIN!
Delete(Ha, thanks Jess.)
i loathe giving u compliments but your guitar playing has slightly improved.
ReplyDeletethis sounds like if fiona apple was more into comedy than being sad. This is a compliment.
ReplyDeleteBEST COMPLIMENT EVER I LOVE YOU WHO ARE YOU
DeleteYour guitar playing is just a good as your Spanish! But, for songwriting purposes, I wish you had giant hands and feet and tiny boobs. That song would be really sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat about "Gina's Emo?" That's my fave KPB single.
You're out of your mind.
ReplyDeleteThis is absurd. But sort of comical.
ReplyDeleteEmma likes the 'Emma' song better.
