Hey Lover

The Lyrics:

I heart you babe
But I just can't see
Why you won't
Stop poking me

I know you babe
You've got the scoop
You joined an awesome
Protest group

Together we'll be
Until the end
Because I'm one of
Your top friends

Yeah.

Nothing shows
How much you care
Like sending some
Underwear

You can look
But never touch
Who knew you
Could care so much?

I'll tell you now
I'll tell you true
I think that I'm
In love with you

Hey lover.

On Facebook (repeat)

The Story:


I wanted to do a couple of different things with this song. First, I wanted to keep it short. That was relatively easy to do, given that I didn't have many lyrics to start with. I know I could have added solos or instrumental breaks, but I figured I would forgo that this time, in the hopes of getting my message across more poignantly. Second, I wanted to mix up the rhythm, and perhaps give things a bit more of a "pop-y" feel. The drums didn't hurt in this endeavor, but some of the fills are really, really cheesy. (I tried really hard to listen to each track and play more like a live band though; I think that's part of the reason my sound is improving.) Finally, I wanted to write about something topical. What's more pertinent than Facebook? I know the lyrics are a little hard to hear (cursed $20 cheap-o mic and/or my own bad voice), but I think they're audible enough that the song doesn't suffer tremendously. It's worth noting that the bass parts are always really fun to write...I miss my bass, but I doubt I'll be buying another one any time soon. A keyboard will do for now.

As always, input and/or feedback is always appreciated. Enjoy.
