New song...

Recommended Posts

Just finished writing the first draft of a new song I thought I'd share. Remember, this is the first working draft...(this feels good, I wrote 2 songs today, after being on a severe writting block for about 2 months).

Its slow song, so bare with me. It also has a very simple chord progression that only involves 3 chords (C, G, Em...yeah, odd group, but the Em is used once per verse and it sounds really cool).

Lonely Moon
where have your friends gone?
lonely moon
the were once abundant
lonely moon
at one time they were there
twinkling with your shine
beside you every night
so you wouldn't be alone
so you could find your way home

lonely moon
travel'n that darkened road
lonely moon
wondering where to go
lonely moon
you once had a dream
but dreamer's dreams are liars
and laughter from failings past
are chasing after you
down your deserted path

lonely moon
come back to forgiving arms
lonely moon
you don't have to run so far
lonely moon
don't make your life so damned hard
'cause rain will keep falling
on your dusty old road
the tears will continue to fall
until you've come back home
--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Well, shit, here's the other one I wrote today, but if you're not an Aggie, you won't get it. B|

This song is fast. B|


I remember a time
Not too long gone
that Aggies actually cared
About the tradiitons of long ago

Silver Taps was revered
the grass was walked around
and people said Howdy!
aggiels loved this town



Now Bonfire doesnt' burn
people wear hats in the MSC
no one goes to Muster
or yell practice Friday eve

the spirit was strong
the Corps was all male
now Old Ags what can we say
but...

Old Army's gone to hell!


At football games people stood
and the Aggies never boo'd
when the War Hymn played hats came off
and people stepped off the wood

Now campus is divided
The admin doesn't care
they're turning us into t.u.
and I tell ya it just aint fair!



many years ago
when Aggies were hard
traditions had respect
our school the best by far

the spirit was strong
the Corps was all male
now Old Ags what can we say
but...

Old Army's gone to hell!
--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
