Week #11 Update + 'Punchline' Demo + AMA!

Happy Saturday to all who celebrate!

I'm in the mood to spill some beans today, so I'm sharing a new song I finished last week called Punchline. I'll also be posting a 6 minute long video for Triple Taxers that has 20-25 second snippets of each of the new songs.  

Lyrics for Punchline below and Triple Tax Demo Reel coming shortly. Now on to the weekly update:

I spent this week working on a new song that I wrote on Eric's acoustic bass. The bass line has similarities to other songs I've written on bass like Sideshow, ALL SHOOK UP, and Sometimes, but the song itself has a more mellow feel to it (probably because it's an acoustic bass).  I laid down some slide guitar that gives it a bit of a post-Beatles George Harrison vibe. The lyrics are heavily under construction. I'll likely rewrite the lyrics that are included on the Triple Tax Demo Reel. I'm happy with what is there, but I'm feeling like its verse and chorus are a bit at odds with each other. 

I plan on continuing to write until at least the end of February. Then I'll take inventory and figure out which songs are going out into the world + when and how to release them. Feels like an insurmountable amount of work still lies ahead. Good news is, the band is meeting for the first time this Monday to discuss a plan of attack and start working through the new music.

You are welcome to AMA (AKA ask me anything) in the comments!

TTFN,

Punchline Lyrics:

Break me into pieces
And put me together again

High from the adhesive

My body begins to ascend

I fly so close

I build my home
On top of a cloud

And wake up all over the ground

Rolling out of bed and

Falling into the abyss

Landing on a sunbeam

That’s pouring out from an eclipse

It finds the holes

Inside my soul

I’m flooded with light

But the cold still returns in the night

Is there a path?

Is there a purpose?

Is there a payout?

Do we deserve it?

Is there a power that I can interpret?

Is there a punchline?

Laughing ‘til I pass out

On a rooftop in LA
Sleeping in my backseat

Looking for places to play

I drove all night

The morning light

Led me home to you

Just as it continues to do

Dancing in our first house

When the baby started to sing

Lost in different countries

Looking for vanishing places to eat

We find our way

Despite the maze

It may never end

And who knows when the cold will relent

Is there a path?

Is there a purpose?

Is there a payout?

Do we deserve it?

Is there a power that I can interpret?

I don’t need a punchline

To make it all worth it

Is there a path?

Is there a purpose?

Is there a payout?

Do we deserve it?

There is a power in every person

To hell with the punchline

Everyone’s pieces are

Scattered beneath the sky

To hell with the punchline

Break me into pieces

And put me together again

High from the adhesive

My body begins to ascend

I fly so close

I build my home
On top of a cloud

And wake up all over the ground
