Two More Songs for January

I can't believe that January went by like that. I do have to say that it was a great month in the history of the world. I'm not just talking about the songs that I wrote. No, in fact there were some wonderful and incredibly tragic events that happened in the month of January 2009. I don't really want to go into it right now, I am here to talk about songwriting.

I have put two more songs on Songs in the Raw MySpace page. "A Thousand Words" and "Play the Fool" were posted a couple of days ago. I was trying to finish one song and the other one popped up in my head.

"A Thousand Words" is a love song. I talk about poets and songwriters searching for the perfect words to write a poem or song. I've found, that in affairs of the heart, words just get in the way. A look in your lover's eyes says it all. Check out Songs in the Raw MySpace page and let me know what you think.

"Play The Fool" is a melody that I had been churning around for a while. I kind of couldn't get it out of my head, but was never happy with the lyrical direction that I was taking. As it turns out, it's about the contradictions that life seems to display from time to time. "I've seen rain fall from a clear blue sky." "I've seen tears come from the eyes of laughter." "I've seen bad things done by good people." Things like that seem to happen all the time in this crazy life! "I'm not a fool, but I've been foolish." What can I say, I do it all the time!

Head over to Songs in the Raw MySpace page and let me know what you think. I love to hear from you.
