You fire up your old chiminea.

Listen up! Here you go! Song number seven is called My Neighbor, and I really like the first half, at least. The second half needs more instruments. But until I ween myself off the cassette recorder, I have solomente quatro tracks. SOLOMENTE QUATRO!

What else, what else, mmmmmmmmpf.

When I checked my e-mail this evening, I had 120 MAILER FAILURE DEOMEN messages.  All different, from 120 different nonexistent e-mail addresses that I presumably spammed, goddamnit. They were worldly, too: One said "Peru", several in  Japanese or Chinese characters, and of course a ton of Cyrillic spam. I always get tons of Cyrillic spam, though. But this 120 messages in my inbox has never happened to me before. Not counting the ones that the spam filter caught.

I like the melody and the piano! Fun, fun. One question: have you intentionally put the last 2 songs into the genre "christian gangsta rap"? That's what it says in iTunes.

SO GREAT THAT YOU NOTICED! Yup, you can choose whichever genre you want. That seemed like the natural choice.

Why thank you! That is so great to hear. I'm hoping to have ten total by the end of the summer.

I think this might be my favorite one so far. I also think it might be the poppiest, which would explain my first sentence. Nice!

SOLOMENTE

Can I pick a nit? It's "solamente". There. I did it. Forgive me.

It's also "daemon"; but standard usage says that phrases in all caps should not be spelled properly.

So great! Hopefully I can pep out some future stuff, because if I'm ever performing these on stage, I'd like to be able to jump around and dance a lot.

SOLOMENTE

Oh, you just assume I'm aiming for Spanish? This could be French. Could be.

It is a fine, fine chorus. And I really like how the last line of the verse keeps going when I expect it to end, like you say "I replay that moment again" and I think that will be the end of the verse, but then you say "and again in my mind before I fall asleep". And then you do not do that on the last verse, "I'm gonna move and let the fantasy end".

Why thank you! And thanks again for the ideas over e-mail.

Wow, this song is really catchy, as blogged here.

Which I was super-stoked to hear about.
