-
- INTEGRITY'S A CUNT.
-
- Only reason I like
this song. LOL. I feel like I'm the only person who
understands that line and it makes me laugh. Oh what a
time this was in The Journey...
-
- Believe it or not
this was during a HAPPY time when I was looking for
ways to finish the Egos script for the Comedy Central
Pilot Audition in 2009. A writing exercise that would
consist of pacing, taking showers, cleaning the house -
desperately trying to find the pieces that made it all
work. At some point I sat at the piano with a drink...
and this craziness came out. I'll embed the original for
this one...
-
-
- The
entry explains
all the allusions but to put it simply: even I knew that
I was gonna be a miserable famous person if I was
alone. October 2009 was the second time in my life I was
sure I was really gonna get a shot in showbiz
(I didn't unfortunately) and literally one drink
opened up a part of my brain that most decidedly knew it
wouldn't bring happiness but I was so exhausted from
the decade I didn't care. "Susceptible to joy, but I'll
settle for a fan".
-
- The remake is guitar
driven and honestly - it kind of erases the honesty of
the whole thing. I like the Irish jig part because it's
just fun, but since I can only (barely) play rhythm
guitar, it just doesn't feel like my song. This was
always my concern with producing some of these songs was
you end up sanitizing it. But it's an interesting
exercize and I'm glad I did it. This shot is cool as fuck
in VR180 though...
-
-
- In the end however
this to me is a true Journey song where the original just
captures a srange moment EXACTLY as it felt and I will
always be attracted to the original because of
that.
-
- Alright the 10
October songs are done! Now we slow down to just one
every THREE days for November.

- Jesus.
