Queen of Clubs: Half

Here it is, I made it to the halfway point. I’ve basically stayed on schedule, only posting songs 1-2 days late but mostly not late at all. I’ve created 26 songs where only a small few (2) are not really songs, but ambient soundscapes or some kind of whatnot. Not that there is anything wrong with that anyway, it’s just that they are not exactly “written” or “songs.”

This one is “written” and it is also a “song.” I summoned my best 60’s sunshine folk pop to try to brighten my day. I think I got there somewhat. I learned the effects of the D-Major 7 chord from John Mathias back in college and I’ve never put it to use until today. I also think it may be the opening chord (and rhythm) to Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” (which is on Animals, an awesome album).

Anyway, this song is a tribute to “half” and the fact that I am halfway done with this whole thing. Half and half. Bring me the halfling. Halved bagel. Halva. Goodbye.
