So you may be wondering, "why the lyrics yesterday to a song I've never heard?" Well, several reasons. First let me say the song's called "One of These Days". I've been doing it for about 2 weeks now during the break in the set when the guys take a breather and I continue on by myself. I hope to work out any kinks it may have before I record it. Then, who knows, it may make it to the new CD we're working on. I always like to have a real stripped down acoustic number on the disc to help break it up a bit for the listener. Same with long live sets.Let's just say I'm introducing a new song so that you may be familiar with it once the new CD is out and you purchase one. Let's call it advanced promotions. (See BB, I'm always workin' it.) Also, after the rest of the week's blogs, and all the Butch Zen found therein, I had this tune in mind all morning yesterday. Although the speaker in the song is a somewhat pathetic procrastinator, not acting now but rather saying " one of these days", it is a song full of fight, and the spirit that leads one to take action, to go for it, to tackle the beast it's been chasing. And that's been what's been cluttering my brain this week. Never give in, keep keepin' up. So that's that and my reasoning behind it. Unless I get huge complaints, I'm thinking I'd like to do that with the tunes from time to time. After all, even though many of my characters are simply that, voices representing others and their emotional states of being, and not me personally, the thought to speak for that character has to come from some sort of emotion or observation that's crossed my mind. Hope this process is somewhat interesting to the reader. Take care. Later, Butch
