Feb 2022 biab improvisation
This was a single-take vocal improvisation over a Band-in-a-Box backing track.
I sometimes live in the future (in my mind, at least). So the person with me in the song is best imagined as a dog that I've been enhancing and experimenting with.
I'm not going to sleep right now,
because I'm going to sing this song for you. Ooo, ooo.
I'm not going to sleep right now,
but it might just make me feel blue. Ooo, ooo.
I said I'm gonna to sing this song.
I'm gonna sing it so long.
I'm gonna to sing it until I'm through. Ooo, ooo.
I said I'm just gonna sing this song.
I'm gonna sing until I turn, turn blue.
I said I did not want to sing a stupid song.
I wanted to sing the best, best song.
I said I did not want to sing a stupid song.
I wanted to sing, yes, the best, best song.
And then you came in the room like you do
when you use those legs that I put on you.
And then you walked over here and you said
you think I look just like your shoe, ooo, ooo.
I said I wanted to sing a good, good song,
but then look at this stupid song.
But what if this is the best, best song
and I just forgot my lines?
I just want to sing a song.
Maybe a lovely song for you.
I just want to sing a song
and I'll sing it until I'm through. Ooo, ooo.
I think I might sing my song,
and then slowly I'll turn blue.
I just want to sing my song.
Well, honestly, I just want to be through.
But I need to sing my song,
I will sing it until I'm through.
When can I know that I'm through
because this song just won't get on through, through, through.
It just goes and goes and it blows and blows
and I'm slowly turning to you.
You stand there your legs so bare
and they're pointing right at me!
I just wanted to sing a song
but you're standing while you pee.
I'm gonna have to clean that mess up.
Yes. But I think I want to go to bed.
But I need to clean that mess up,
so I think I'll sing this song and slowly turn dead.
And then I won't need to clean up your mess. Oh no!
I will leave that task to you.
You got the legs to do it.
I put them on you and so you have no excuse.
I think I will stop here.
Yes, this is where I will be through.

So cool to have the right in the moment song! I know these feelings, as sleep can be a little challenging during February.....The words are perfect for that state of mind, as I tend to have these sorts of thoughts at those times! I don't know about this BIAB stuff, but it sounds really cool! Well done.

"What if this was the best best song and I just forgot my lines??" I love that so much! This is what I do when I start to do morning pages after a long time of not doing them. It works! Thank you :) I love how it turns into maybe a stream of consciousness

Experimenting *with* or *on*?
Cos you said "with", so I'm imagining you and this dog wearing labcoats and safety glasses and brewing something up in a laboratory together.
I really like your Dada approach to music.
Well done.
