a year of songs: number 05

• Thursday, January 29th:
• Growing up in the deep snow, the dare was to jump into the drifts from the top bleacher at the baseball field. Leaps of faith and the lesson of fear = fun. Here's Number 05, "Fear Of Falling".

the 52 song project

Exhibitionist Song Writing YOUR COMMENTS

I'm becoming aware of one of the dangers for me in this project: trying to write the same kind of song twice because I like the way it turned out. That's the kind of thing that can lock up wherever it is I go to find the next song. So each week is a blank slate as much as possible. It has to be to keep going at this pace.

THE PROJECT:

I'm going to attempt to write a new song (or tackle old unfinished songs) at a pace of one per week. I'll record them and post them here, as well as my facebook page and ReverbNation.com. I'm going to convince myself that you will take a few minutes to listen and/or download them (for free) and occasionally give me feedback.

52 songs in 52 weeks. Beginning January 1st.

A few disclaimers and ground rules:
1. I may cheat and do two songs some weeks and take a week off.
2. I may change something in a song as I hear your feedback, and as I get used to performing it. If you like the initial version, save it because it might change.
3. I'll try some new things. I may experiment with sounds and song structure. You're not going to like all my experiments.
4. At some point, I may move a song over to iTunes or Popcuts.com and sell it. Then I'll probably remove the free version.

I'll include the lyrics and a story if it's relevant to the song. Please suggest changes but don't be disappointed with me if I don't make the change.

THE KEY: I can only do this if I believe that others are in on this project too. I need to hear from some of you or I'll never make it. And some songs won't be that great, but I'll post them anyway.

I hope you'll check in on me each week in 2009.
