Dan Hewins: The Deck 52 songs in 52 weeks: A Deck of Songs in 2009 by Dan Hewins. A song-per-week project.

I have nothing to say about this song except eee aah.

Isn’t that something you can say before exactly anything? “I have nothing to say about ____ except…” It’s all just for effect. If you had nothing to say about that thing, there would be no “except.” I have nothing to say about chocolate chip cookies except that I want one now. So, I actually do have something to say about chocolate chip cookies. It’s that I want one. So, that’s not nothing. It’s something. I have something to say about the KKK: they’re not on my list of good folks. That’s putting it mildly. I have nothing to say about my list of good folks except that the KKK is not on it. Neither is Kim Jong-il. He’s funny looking though.

Eee Aah.

There is a site that I found when I searched the internet for weekly songwriting things. This site is called SONG FIGHT! It’s a weekly competition wherein people submit a song written to a previously determined title. This week’s submissions must be called “Your New Dress.” So I decided to compete this week and write my very own “Your New Dress” song.

That’s what I did tonight. So, probably sometime over the weekend the folks at SONG FIGHT! will post my song and the others of the same title at the SONG FIGHT site. Check back early next week and check out my song and compare it to the others. When you’ve determined that mine is superior to the others, vote for it! This should be fun.
