Items Unlisted
Liner Notes
Not the least stupid title I've ever thought up, since it's mostly a list of items. Anyway, if you've ever been here, you'll know what I'm on about. If not, good, and I hope you like the tune. Sorry about the voice - still wrecked after the bacon incident. #acousticonetake
Lyrics
Two kids, two cats
Bass guitar, cricket bat
Signed by Yorkshire CCC
In 2003
Bank Of Scotland debit card
Key to the neighbours' yard
Their flowers need watering
While they're travelling
Two pairs of walking boots
Compilation: "Trojan Roots"
Collection: garden tools
Letter to the youngest's school
Items unlisted, undocumented
Intentions taken on trust
Two kids, two cats
Bass guitar, cricket bat
Signed by Yorkshire CCC
In 2003

@oddbod
I like the unusual chord progression and the somewhat forlorn sound of your piano which adds to the melancholic vibe. Let’s hope bacon incident gets put behind you soon.

This is a great idea! I love that it feels so poignant, though you haven't overtly placed any emotional freight on these objects in the lyric. Pensive mood adds gravitas, and there's a bit of melancholy in the piano, intonation notwithstanding! Nice work! (And I'll have to remember that bacon trick for my next gritty blues...)

I like that you can look around you and see something to write about, and then write about it. Wish I could do that. I like the irony of calling the song 'Items Unlisted' and then listing them. I came away from this with a nagging question though: is the debit card expired?

Lovely! Reminds me a bit of Norman Lamont's song 'Ten Objects' which is one of my favourites of his.

Love! It's different and held my interest throughout. I like the cliff hanger finish. The vocal tone/melody matches the lyrics nicely too. Frustrated? Disillusioned? Bored? Relatable to many I'm sure.
Bacon incident sounds intriguing :)

I love this! Such a simple and cool concept and a really cool song around it. You also have a great voice, I love the raspiness here. Nice!!!
