about

I woke up this morning and thought, "I should write and record a song today, a sort of Instant Karma type of thing, all at once." Well, here it is. I texted Carina, Scott and Nick, and asked if they wanted to help out. Nick didn't get back to me just yet (thus the drum machine and kid drum set bits), but Scott and Carina played along. Throughout the day I put some lyrics and parts together as time allowed and recorded the song on my phone with Garageband. It's not the best thing in the world, but it's kinda weird and a nice try I think. I hope to make it a tradition, to write and record a song in a single day every New Year's eve. So....cheerio! 2020 good riddance! Let's not forget this terrible year, but hope for better days ahead.
-love from Joe, Scott, Carina and Nick

lyrics

bombs away
with your rattlesnake machine
coke bottle glasses
and you died anyway
the cut-bone mannequin
carried you away
raised his pint
on new years day

tiny drummers
dressed in their finest wool
a cotton ball moon
did the clouds stand near
they played their long goodbyes
to the one lost child
who had fallen in love
with the rattlesnake smile
