Description
Recorded as part of my "Ordinary Songs" project, wherein I, over the course of five days, quickly recorded rough, but complete versions of as many of my songs as I could. This is one of 13. It's kind of sloppy, but has (I think) a certain charm. The story behind the song is told on my blog: http//blog.myspa/... .

Lyrics
Like Dali's clocks who's hands have stopped
in a moment for eternity,
scrambled eggs and shattered senses
is what she makes of me.
Her words are unpublished poetry.
She's so surreal.

She sleeps with one eye open,
so she will not miss
reality that surrounds her
in a dreamlike mist.
She keeps a crimson secret upon her lips!
She's so surreal.

She took a trip to Canada to lead Sierra Treks,
sliding through the wilderness on a Fruedian slip.
All reality is a Rorshach test.
She's so Surreal

Take Me Back
I didn't think anyone did psychedelic music anymore, but you did. And
you did it well. I like the word play and the overall feel of the music.
Stayed true to the genre.

Quick, where's the patoolie oil and lava lamp.

Take Me Back
Thank you very much!

I'm glad it rings true to the genre. I worked up this arrangement while
listening to Rhino Record's Nuggets: Original Artifacts box set and tried to
get the sound "just so." An earlier mix had a overdrive on the drums to mimic
tape saturation, which sounded even more authentic... but not as pleasant.
The stereo chorus on the vocal is not quite authentic, but I think it works as
an "update" (as far as I can tell by listening, the chorus was usually mono and
the stereo effect was achieved by manually panning the vocal around the
mix).

Yes, it has charm
Yes, it has a lot of charm. And I like the roughness too, it suits well here
(wouldn't call it sloppy though).

Would have liked to hear that guitar solo in the end for a couple of
minutes more, it was very pleasant.

Thanks, Johannes. Your liking the guitar solo means a lot to me, as you're
one of my favorite guitarists on this site.

Back in my early 20s, I was practicing bass three hours a day, playing in a band with a drummer who practiced six hours a day and a guitarist who was one the "up and coming" lead guitar players of my home town. Plus, I was writing a song every day. I... [see more]
