I thought it was always interesting that kids bring treats for their class on their birthdays. Anyhoo, Here's my treat for the class on my birthday (which is the 8th). I wrote and recorded this song tentatively titled "Tuesday with Zooey." This was done roughly in my dining room, so it's a demo version, and you can have it. It will be "professionalized" for the album tho. Here is the mp3 (or click on the gift too).I also made a video for it. The lyrics are down the page a bit.
Lyrics for "Tuesday with Zooey"
Inspired by Franny & Zooey by J.D. Salinger
Fall descending on a Tuesday night
Resurrecting a world in the shadows
Pulled from my shelf, all bound in pages
Copyright stamped nineteen fifty five
[In the upper east side in a kimono
before her in overly golden rows
the lovely women in furs and coats
but mother, she don't even bother
They came to the world on a radio show
and grew up to shatter the status quo
Through an existential chip on their shoulder
the world is bending on brother]
I am meeting Franny and Zooey
the timely friends of our undoing
St Seraphim of Sarov leading
the plaintive pilgrims to the something
I'll finally toss it aside
with indifferent spit in my eye
The meager mediocrity
is shunned in the shadows
Autumn landing on the tip of my shoe
My kicks are treading the walks in my hood
Jeans and sweaters must come from heaven
and what awaits on page 59
I am meeting Franny and Zooey
the timely friends of our undoing
St Seraphim of Sarov leading
the plaintive pilgrims to the something
