Why this tune?
This week’s song is another one from the last day of this year’s February Album Writing Month (FAWM.org). It’s another song inspired by a song “skirmish,” this time with the prompt “Looks like a void and return kind of day,” which the host heard at a local store. The story took a while to develop in my head (and my notes), so by the time I revisited it on the last day I had plenty to work with.
It’s a departure from my usual jazz forms, but I think the pop/country structure fits the subject matter much better. I’d love to hear a more legit country interpretation of the tune. I think that would work quite well.
You can hear more from this year’s FAWM on SoundCloud, and more music on my website
and YouTube channel.
