Lyrics
Verse 1
It takes ten unique letters
and a pair of shaky eyes
to say "I'm feeling better"
and reveal my darker side

And at 200 cents a gallon
When 15's what I need
3000 pennies is too much to pay
so I can cruise the streets

And I'm really liking this
So I hit Shift Apple S
And rename the document
accordingly

"The Song Without A Name (Try 4)"
is nameless now forevermore
Quoth the raving fingers
tap-tap- tapping on the keys

Change
It was an unfortunate scene
with his tongue between his teeth
just the driver and the street

at least that's what he thought
now he doesn't talk
and limps a limping walk

through the buzzing neighborhood
where he'd say "hi" if he could
but his mouth just fills with blood

15 letters swallowed whole
first they creep and then they crawl
to the bottom of his soul...

to the bottom of his soullllllllllllllllllll

An unfortunate scene
Really enjoyed the lyrics, especially the verse after the
change. Vivid, graphic stuff you don't encounter very often
in this genre. In fact, I'm not sure this should be in New
Age Acoustic. Maybe folk? Or pop?

Anyway, I'm not sure about the last section (to the bottom
of his soullllllllllll). The vocal seems forced there. And I'm
not sure it adds much to the overall song, which is a very
interesting piece.

This is different
Song is interesting and the keyboard part with the guitar
is a nice mix. Reminds me of some of Jim O'Rourke or
David Grubbs.

cute
i dont think youd like it when a bloke like me says this,
but i think your song is cute!
lyrics are so funny and i really liked the 'to the bottom of
his soul' bit very much!

thanks
thank you all for listening. i know the "to the bottom of
his soul" part is kind of corny and trite, but i'm trying to
do new things with my music, and it feels good to kinda
whine really loud with my voice. it's cathartic in a way.

I like it
Cool lyrics and very simple backdrop made this very
interesting. Like the vocals, including To the bottom of his
soul.

I like it
thanks so much. i played this song at a coffeehouse the other nite, and
screaming "at the bottom of his soul" feels even cooler in front of people. so i
guess it's a keeper.

Compelling concept
Very cool lyrics and concept... a song about the process of
writing, with the catalyst moment as a punchline. A great
coda/chorus/hook at the end. Arresting.

Compelling concept
thanks so much. these days ive been trying to incorporate the idea that this
computer has almost become part of me. weaving that theme into the
scribblings i write down during downtime in class, makes for some fun stuff.

(btw, whenever macjams bigshots like tobin or atwood leave comments, it
gets me so excited :)
