Feb 2022 minisongs guy-with-guitar 10x10
My goal today was to just keep writing songs with 30 second challenges - such as come up with a title in 30 seconds, write a verse in 30 seconds, make me a melody, etc.
Basically I just had to go with the first thought I had an go with it. I notice I tend to write and record fairly short songs so this is my attempt to mash a bunch of songs together into one super, concept album song?
Song list:
1. Owls on the Pillow
2. Breathing Room
3. Kuum Fufu
4. Smoking with Old Man Tree
5. Couch High
6. Heaven is Clean
7. Product of Japan
8. Chicken Thighs
9. Adjustable Weight
10. My Friend Number 10
1. Owls on the Pillow
There are owls
On the branch
Dandelion eyes
He's looking at you
She's looking past his
Round little goblin head
Owls on the pillow case
Someone stitched them there
Maybe in a factory
By small Asian children
Someone ripped off the tag
I'll never know which country
Those small Asian children
Are from
2. Breathing Room
No one has watered the cactus for five months and it's fine
The spider plants on the other hand have died
Cracked brown whiskers where the little leaves should be
Give the man some water
Give our guest a hand
Give her a little breathing room
A little breathing room
3. Kuum Fufu
Soy candle
Virgo
Unused til last night
Blue
In a jar
Between 6 and 9
Light the wick
Light the wicked
Light the wicked on fire
4. Smoking with Old Man Tree
Smoking with old man tree again?
No more playing in the woods
He's a bad influence on you
Stay here in the city
And be a good boy
I can't quit the stuff
No matter how many times I try
I can't quit the stuff
5. Couch High
On another other day I'd go for a drive
But I'm high, way too high
To drive
But I bet I'd be fine
So I'll sit here
Playing guitar on the couch
Touching myself
6. Heaven is Clean
These dracaena are as tall as me
That succulent is a squid
It's smoky in the living room
Everyone is turning blue
And red
Spiderwebs and bunny dust
Vacuum on the ceiling
Climb up the ladder and
Right in to heaven
7. Product of Japan
Have you ever looked for yourself
In the walls of prison cell?
Have you ever had your pride wounded
And had to reglue it
I'm a product
A product of Japan
8. Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs, chicken thighs
Oh how time flies
Your legs once were skinny
Now they both amputated
I used to be your bully
But I think it's poor form
To tease the guy who lost his legs in the war
9. Adjustable Weight
I've got adjustable weight
So I be real skinny for the first date
I've got adjustable weight
So I can fit right in at the Nascar race
I've got adjustable weight
So I be a sumo wrestler
Where does this weight go?
Out my butt and down a hole
I've got adjustable weight
10. My Friend Number 10
Number 10
Hello again
One more than nine
The oft forgotten middle child
Number 10
You're my friend
I love you so

Wow-either you are really in a highly creative mood or you are totally stoned in the middle of the afternoon! Either way-bravo!! Quite a collection with such variety-each one sounds totally different. A lot of fun in this.
