Dog years and lunar days...

NEW SONG ALERT!

A song a day... that was the concept.

Yep.

A song a day for a year, newly recorded, with a little write-up.

They started out being terrestrial, regular old 24 hour days.

But at this point, we're pretty much talking about lunar days...

listen:
Rainy Day on Temple Ave
[soundclick]


AYoS radio [broadband]
A Year of Songs Radio does not include Soundclick songs

However, there are more than a year of songs up here now -- or at least different versions... 400 of them, covering 144 songs and 28 instrumentals. Give or take. Some tracks are no longer available. (Yes, even I have some shame.)

Anyhow, here's a new song.

I know, I'm supposed to write something about it. It's been up on Soundclick for over a week and I still haven't thought up anything. So, what the heck...

It's about some loser.

lyrics
Rainy Day on Temple Ave

I saw her again
and she was smiling in the sun
but I remember when
she was down and she was almost done

she had herself a man and
he was doing her so wrong
she said I'll
give you what I can
but I'm not sure that I'm that strong

And I said Baby, that's OK
I know I should not stay
I wouldn't want your tomorrows
to be as sad as our today

There was a time
when I counted the two of us as one
there was a dream
I thought all my darkness was all gone

Some things have to be and
some things can never last for long
and some times you just see
to try to hang on is just (so damn) wrong

And I said Baby, that's OK...

One drink buys the next
until you're staring at the stars
wondering what went wrong
and wondering where the hell you are

That was
ten thousand miles ago
but I guess I haven't come all that far
I'm still wandering through these streets
I'm still lost among those stars

And I said Baby, that's OK...
