Peter's Song of the Week Club!

4/20/03

Never 19

Peter's Comments:
More self-indulgent whining this week.

Basically this was written after listening to a bunch of early Beatles albums with song after song about being young and in love, and thinking to myself "Hullo, all I remember is being young and being a miserable bastard." Thus, the self-indulgent whining.

Nothing creative on the musical front this week. Yet again, in C. Yet again, walking C down to Am in a way veerry similar to the opening chords of "Thunderstorm" by Matthew Sweet. (For safety's sake, I added a rip-off the opening of "Unsatisfied" for this song -- plagiarism + other plagiarism = "creativity!") I had some extra time, so I added some extra rhythm-guitar overdubs. Nothing new. Still, I'm happy that I've found a good system for churning these out without too much effort.

And, yet again, I wish I could sing on-key.
