Correspondence 11/2/09 20:36 - 20:59

   In this installment, we continue our talk on Comrade Helicopter. We discuss songs to make as b-sides and songs for future albums. It all culminates in Cailin sharing Back to the Desert Again, which is awesome, from our forthcoming album, which is... forthcoming.

Now.... B-sides?

I see you changed your punctuation.

Re: B-Sides!
From POMegranate to Persomem   Nov 2, 2009 8:38 pm
Yes, now it's a question. B-sides?

From Persomem to POMegranate   Nov 2, 2009 8:39 pm
Maybe?

I don't know. I kind of played around with the idea for a while that the Skirt b-side should be called "Arse Over Teakettle."

I like it.

And I just reviewed the track listing for FF. It's actually a more solid collection than I thought. I was getting kind of scared because FPoG has such great songs, and an album that's not a great second album will doom a band to abject failure for the rest of their lives.

I agree about FF, it's really quite good, but it's certainly different from the FPoG stuff.

Hold on and let me dredge up the list of all- no, wait, some- of the orphan songs I've written...

I think my best work is on FF and BCF.
And, on the topic of homeless songs, I've got ten, soon to be eleven.

Re: B-Sides!
From POMegranate to Persomem   Nov 2, 2009 8:51 pm
But are they B-side material?

Re: B-Sides!
From Persomem to POMegranate   Nov 2, 2009 8:52 pm
I suppose not, not most of them anyway.

And I just finished a song of mine, it's not titled, but going by the repetition in the song, I guess it'll be called Back to the Desert Again.

Here we go, I wanted to add a chorus for once:

I know it was hard, you know it as well,
But I think we ought to go back,
Into the maw of hell,
Yes we gotta go back,
To the desert again,
But let’s bring water this time.

[CHORUS]

We'll flood the place,
We'll bring a typhoon,
We'll fight that sun,
And fight high noon,

Back to the sands dunes and sun,
Back to apart from everyone,
Back to around the bend,
Back to the desert again.

[CHORUS]

I know it's not easy, as time has told,
But we gotta go back,
To the days so hot nights so cold,
Yes we gotta go back,
To the desert again,
But let’s bring fire this time.

[CHORUS]

We'll burn the place,
We'll burn it all down,
We'll fight the cold,
And fight sundown,

Back to the sands dunes and sun,
Back to apart from everyone,
Back to around the bend,
Back to the desert again.

[CHORUS]
