Oh yeah, Videos of The Bicycling Guitarist.
The sound of the recordings from 2004 is more than a bit distorted because I only had a webcam microphone to record with. I think it worthwhile nonetheless to put these songs online.
NOTE: several of the songs that I posted here have been re-recorded and posted again with the same file name. Check the file dates if you've downloaded them to get the latest version.
The following links take you to the lyrics pages for these songs. After the title on each lyrics page, click on the “Download in popular mp3 format” link to hear or download the song.
Early Morning Hours describes longing and loneliness in the middle of the night. This version was recorded October 21, 2004.
Shopzilla This is a parody of the Blue Öyster Cult song “Godzilla.” This version was recorded October 24, 2004.
Tray Dipper This is a parody of The Beatles song “Day Tripper.” This version was recorded October 16, 2004. The original song by The Beatles was recorded on this same date in 1965.
My favorite of these is “One Florida Night.” The same three chord progression repeats eight times, but is different each time. Sometimes it sounds like two or even three guitars at once to me (it was just one guitar being recorded).
One Florida Night This one-minute song is in honor of Michelle Reeves, a promising 20 year old avant-garde poet and peace activist sadly no longer with us since September 26, 2004. My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Michelle Reeves. All of us lost a friend in her, even those who never met her. I played this for the first time while recording myself on October 6, 2004. The second half of the song has some interesting melodies going on with the higher notes.
Perseids is another song I've been playing around with a long time. This version was recorded October 24, 2004.
