\nNEW SONG ALERT!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A song a day… that was the concept.<\/p>\n

Yep.<\/p>\n

A song a day for a year, newly recorded, with a little write-up.<\/p>\n

They started out being terrestrial, <\/span>regular old 24 hour days.<\/p>\n

But at this point, we’re pretty much talking about lunar<\/span> days…<\/p>\n

\n
Listen on Soundclick<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, there are more than a year of songs<\/span> 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<\/span><\/span> have some<\/span> shame.)<\/p>\n

Anyhow, here’s a new song.<\/p>\n

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…<\/p>\n

It’s about some loser.<\/span><\/p>\n

lyrics<\/span><\/span>
\nRainy Day on Temple Ave<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I saw her again
\nand she was smiling in the sun
\nbut I remember when
\nshe was down and she was almost done<\/p>\n

she had herself a man and
\nhe was doing her so wrong
\nshe said I’ll
\ngive you what I can
\nbut I’m not sure that I’m that strong<\/p>\n

And I said Baby, that’s OK
\nI know I should not stay
\nI wouldn’t want your tomorrows
\nto be as sad as our today<\/i><\/p>\n

There was a time
\nwhen I counted the two of us as one
\nthere was a dream
\nI thought all my darkness was all gone<\/p>\n

Some things have to be and
\nsome things can never last for long
\nand some times you just see
\nto try to hang on is just (so damn) wrong<\/p>\n

And I said Baby, that’s OK…<\/i><\/p>\n

One drink buys the next
\nuntil you’re staring at the stars
\nwondering what went wrong
\nand wondering where the hell you are<\/p>\n

That was
\nten thousand miles ago
\nbut I guess I haven’t come all that far
\nI’m still wandering through these streets
\nI’m still lost among those stars<\/p>\n

And I said Baby, that’s OK…<\/i><\/p>\n
