50 Pieces of Me
by @andygetch
Liner Notes
I sat down in front of the computer at the official start and this morning I did not feel writing like any of my ideas. Then I remembered it was kinda fun to do a #meta #introductory song. @spirulence had commented on my soundboard about open tunings and I felt like it would be fun to pick up my #silvertone #acousticguitar. That guitar is very similar to my first guitar as a kid in the late 60's, and I have it in #opentuning, an open C or CEGEGC. @ductapeguy did a forum post https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/forums/2593 on generating 50 ideas quickly then mentioned lyric fragments in the #fawmslack. When I strummed the opening chord progression the title popped in my head. So it begins.
Lyrics
Chorus
[F] [Eb] [C]
[F] 50 [Eb] pieces [C] of me
[F] My world’s [Eb] bandwidth [C] perceived
[F] Framed by [Eb] what is [C] believed
[F] 50 [Eb] pieces [C] of me
Verse 1
[C] 5090 is upon us again
[D] Time for me to write songs again
[E] To listen comment and learn
[F] Feel that creative energy burn
[C] So once again here I go
[D] Jumping back into the foaming rapids flow
[E] Until the first of October
[F] When the website says 5090 over
Repeat chorus
Verse 2
[C] Starting off with this meta song
[D] Thankfully its not very long
[E] A brief intro to what might be heard
[F] Spoiler alert I’m more interested in the words
[C] So once again here I go
[D] Jumping back into the foaming rapids flow
[E] Until the first of October
[F] When the website says 5090 over
Repeat chorus
Really catchy.
Love that chorus.
And as usual when you post the chords too, I played along on the bass.
