That's right folks, my very own original content to add to. I wrote this a few days after the election and never got around to recording it.
I've never done one of these, so I'm just gonna copy and paste what thenewgreen says in his.
T-Dog, rezzeJ, coffeesp00ns, ghostoffuffle, jonaswildman, BLOB_CASTLE, zebra2 (and of course TNG) - add to this, it's open wide as a church door.
KEY OF E MAJOR (I like it too, tng), 74 BPM
Lyrics:
- Donnie-onnie-onnie wakes up
face down in the same bed the last guy used
ties his shoes, change the sheets
as the coffee reheats
in the microwave
Donnie-onnie-onnie tees up
same old thing, practice swings
old friends pretend that his game hasn't
slipped a bit
since he started the new job
Oh, and he never makes it home in time
to catch his favorite sitcoms live
Oh, and he never seems to find the time
just to sit with his new wife
His new wife, and his new job.
Donnie-onnie-onnie gets cuts
on the little skin flaps between his fingers
from skimming too fast
through the daily reports
he just wants to get some rest
Donnie-onnie-onnie wakes up
from his 2 o clock nap
in the light in the back of a tinted-out
stretch cadillac on its way
to another funeral
Oh, and he never gets to talk to his kids
about his business
(I guess it's doing fine)
and he never gets to make any deals like he used to
That's the new deal
and his new job
(Oh, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home).
lil I played hockey (this is a lie, I haven't played hockey once in my life, but it seems important to say this) steve.
I swear to god soundcloud is fucking with my audio. This had 7 db of headroom when I uploaded it, I'm guessing that they add compression/boost audio to make everything on their site roughly the same volume? I don't know if I'm just paranoid or what. This song is pretty sloppily mixed anyway, so I guess it doesn't entirely matter but blehh.
In any case, PM me if you want a copy of the WAV, or you can download from soundcloud as well.
Thanks! I mainly wrote it because the thought of calling the man who will soon have one of the highest positions of power in the land "donnie-onnie-onnie" was really funny to me, and made me feel a little less scared about, y'know, all the terror. Also, I figured there would be enough angry "fuck trump" songs coming out, so I wanted to at least attempt to find some sympathy in his situation. (not much was found)
You're one of my favorite people I've never met in person. This is so fucking good that I think that all I could do is ruin it. But I'll ruin it none the less. Just for you pal. The hockey thing comes from a story lil told about a student of hers. lil, is there a link to that story somewhere? Anyways, making music is my punching bag. Without making music, I'd be a mess. For one of lil's students, "hockey," was his "music." This song is so good flac. It's lovely and reminds me of something XTC might write. mk - I think you'd dig this one.
http://lilblume.blogspot.ca/2011/10/is-hockey-necessary.html "Hockey" is complicated. In the story, and I think for tng, the person really wants to be a good husband and a good human, but if he doesn't have a little time for himself, doing something that sustains him, things go badly for him. tng started using the phrase after I posted the story. Music might not be your "hockey" - but it might!! thenewgreen :-)
FWIW, this song has been in my head all night. It’s amazing.
hey plz watch this funny video of auh vines dont forget tu sub.
Listening to this today. What a beautiful song.
This is so good. The music, the lyrics, the combination of them, the tone... The fact that the lyrics flow freely through the track makes it so much more sweet. I'm no musician, so I'm just going to sing praises to what you unjustly consider a "sloppily mixed" song.
This is great. It's so simple but it's perfect for a guy like Trump. The Donnie-onnie-onnie parts are great. I wonder how Donald Trump would react to this? lol.
Can you make it downloadable? or email it to me?
