Just a couple of grad students who happen to share an interest in music. Creating original songs has become a release...as cliche as that must sound.

an ode to darner

we've dropped yet another nugget of joy (hopefully joy...and not pain) for yins to devour (or neglect, whichever).

first, i'll start by stating, that you won't need to turn your monitor, headphones...whatever it is you use...up, at all throughout the listening experience. sang this buster in one take and without writing (the lyrics don't make much sense at all, you'll find)...you'll have that with drafts i suppose...but back to the original point - for whatever reason, i was singing obnoxiously loud on this one.

this is a relatively new piano track for Sluijs and obviously very bare. no strings (we get string-happy often), no guitar...nothing. that will certainly change later. as will the lyrics.

for the time being, i tell you that the motivation for the title was taken (stolen?) from
a poem my cousin wrote entitled "i have a thinking problem.'' i believe her to be an amazing writer. this isn't the first time i've stolen from her. i made an extremely strange track a couple years ago called the lady in the radiator in which a distorted version of my own voice (with backing hummings and nonsense) read yet another one of her poems.

things are slowly beginning to come together on the little time front. piece by piece. peace by peace. there might be another nugget unveiled in the coming days.
