Songs


I dabble in song writing. If I feel inspired to write a song, its' usually because I've woken up with most of a fully formed song in my head and unless I get it down on paper ASAP, it will drive me insane.

I'm also learning to play guitar which, amazingly enough,  can be a good accompaniment to song writing. The thing is, I often have to prioritize among my many hobbies and more often than not, when I have to decide what to devote time to, writing wins.

So, since I'm not using the songs I write, I want others to. Take a look and see what you think. If you happen to be musically inclined and feel inspired to try one of them out, you have my permission to do so as long as you do 4 things:

1. Give me credit for writing the song.
2. Tell me your using the song.
3. Link back to this page on your page.
4. Send me an mp3, video, vhs, dvd, chalk drawing, etc, of you playing the song so that I can have the satisfaction of knowing that something I've created has spread it's wings and fledged.

FLY LITTLE SONGS, FLY!!!

Zombie Song
 
In my head this is an up-tempo punk song similar to Single File's "Zombies Ate My Neighbors". The bridge has a much slower tempo that builds to climax in the final modified chorus.
- - - - - - - - -

Verse:
Woke up to the sound of sirens
The neighborhood was full of violence
Peeked outside in time to see the mailman eaten alive

The undead are on the streets
Craving living flesh to eat
We’ll be lucky to get out alive

Chorus
The news reports all say
The zombie hoard is on its way
But I won’t let them eat your brains tonight

We’ll barricade the door
‘Cause it’s you that I adore
And we’re not going down without a fight

Verse:
I’ll grab my baseball bat
My bike helmet and my rugby pads
The zombies between you and me won’t stand a chance

Put some canned food away
Board up every window at your place
But don’t block the front door ‘cause I’m on my way

Chorus:
The news reports all say
The zombie hoard is on its way
But I won’t let them eat your brains tonight

We’ll barricade the door
‘Cause it’s you that I adore
And we’re not going down without a fight

Bridge:
They’ve surrounded the house
The waters gone and the foods run out

But our love will win the day
If we are destined for the grave
We’ll take out all these zombies on the way

Modified Chorus:
The news channels are all gray
The zombie hoard is here to stay
There’s no way we can survive the night

So open up the door
I’ll poor some kerosene on the floor
We’ll take them all out in a blaze of light

‘Cause we’re not going down without a fight

Hot Geek Girlfriend


This is another one that feels like an uptempo punk or ska song. It was inspired by the awesomely geeky songwriting of John Anealio
- - - - - - -

We met at a con
I was dressed as Aragorn
She said she’s always be my Arwen

Cosplays as 7 of 9
Her skin tight jumpsuit looks so fine
I will never be alone again

Oh no she’s ain’t no booth babe
Here just to hock some new game
She’s a nerd like me
Just much better looking
She’s my hot geek girlfriend

She speaks fluent Klingon
And quotes Monty Python
George R.R. Martin poster on her wall

She knows that Hon shot first
And the new Star Wars are the worst
Was no doubt it’d be for her I’d fall

Oh no she’s ain’t a noob
WOW Pally level 82
She’s a nerd like me
Just much better looking
She’s my hot geek girlfriend

Someday we’ll tie the knot
Dressed like Uhura and Mr. Spock
Have little Ewok kids
We’ll never hit the skids
She’s a nerd like me
Just much better looking
She’s my hot geek girlfriend


She’s my hot geek girlfriend
