Talkin Bout The Weather

The first full song I recorded in Ardour, sometime in 2004 (?). Yes, the instruments sound like crap and the MIDI parts are excruciating but I still like the song enough to repost it. Alas, I couldn't find the original audio mix, and this "remix" is simply a conversion of an OGG file  with some touch-ups done in Mixbus 32C.

It's a fun tune, dedicated to Ivy, and posted here just in time for Valentine's Day.

I got a woman 'bout five feet tall,
Make me sleep in the kitchen, make me eat in the hall.
She got a bad attitude and a mean right hand,
I think she's thinkin' about thinkin' about another man

  Yeh she make me wanna holler and shout
  When I might as well dance and sing
  It's like talkin' 'bout the weather
  Never seems to change a thing

Now I work like a dog all the live-long day
Pump a whole lot of pain just to take a little pay
You go downtown early and you stay out late
Come home when you want, you got nothin' to say 

  Well you make me wanna...

Go on big mama, bring the barrelhouse down
You's a tailor-made mama, ain't no hand-me-down
Got a new way of walkin, make a blind man see
Got a new of talkin' like you don't need me

  Yeh well you make me wanna...
