Cows Have Emotions

Skirmish: Cow (insert gender here) ... (@atornberg)

Liner Notes

Thank you @atornberg for the inspiration. This is my first song inclusively about cows :) and their emotions. Possibly in a humorous way. Maybe a little dance. Maybe a little song. It's for you to decide. Thank you for sharing with me your thoughts and ideas. I had fun composing it and I was literally laughing while playing :) What do you think about genre? Comic instrumental? Slow dance? Light-hearted ballad? Any other ideas?

Lovely. A sense of teetering on the edge of madness throughout.

Here are the lyrics I came up with.

We, are cows, we are such sneaky cows,
And we, declare, a grievance.
We, declare, we do not want to share,
Our field, with o-ther deviants.

So we, are now, a herd of plotting cows.
Diabolically preparing
To conquer all the land from fence to fence,
Though it just might seem too daring.

It is the day of cow supremacy
The free reign of the bovine,
It is the day of cow supremacy,
We’ll keep our milk for our kind.

We, are cows, we are such sneaky cows,
And we, are now the masters.
We, herd, the bulls, the horses and the sheep,
Into a distant pasture.

So we, are now, the rulers of this field.
And here there are no COWards.
To claim this land, from that fence to that fence,
As we chew contentedly for hours.

It is the day of cow supremacy
The free reign of the bovine,
It is the day of cow supremacy,
We’ll keep our milk for our kind.

COWabunga shouted the head cow,
As she jumped in the cow pond.
She splashed about, while furrowing her snout,
And trotted back upon land.

COWtopia is such a lovely place,
I hope that we can keep it,
We chew our cud, and walk around the mud,
And Moo until you hear it.

It is the day of cow supremacy
The free reign of the bovine,
It is the day of cow supremacy,
We’ll keep our milk for our kind.

Well it certainly sounds playful and I can imagine a heard of cows doing cow things with moments of whimsy happening. Your bouncy arrangement had me smiling the entirety of the song. I needed to smile today.

I worked on farms a lot back in my small town high school days--and I do remember, um, "cleaning up after them" one day and having a cow look at me what I thought was "flirtatiously". Not sure what that was all about. Perhaps just me being in the sun too long that day "cleaning up". Fun song!

You already have this up on your Bandcamp? That's cool! I'm always so afraid to upload immediately.

This is fun! It does make me want to laugh! Light-hearted and great!

This is a great plodding feel of cows at pasture wandering around grazing and chewing their cud… very easygoing carefree and happy in a delightful and cow feeling way. This makes me smile!!! Wonderful plop plop plop feel and great interplay of instrumental parts.
