Song #4 – Wiggle While You Walk
My oh my! This has been an awesome first month! I’m beaming from the amount of support I’ve gotten from you subscribers and the incredible work I’ve been able to do in my studio because of this support. This week’s song, Wiggle While You Walk, is by far my favorite of the month. It is the third installment from the 3 song series. I’m thinking of taking the three songs and doing a bit of a mash up with them at some point in the future too! Give it a listen, and don’t forget to download it too!! Thanks everyone!

People are doing things
People who are people, people are doing things
Wiggle while you walk
Even when you talk make a little wiggle
Wiggle when you walk, you wiggle when you walk
You make a little wiggle, you make a wiggle when you walk
Tickled in the middle, tickled in the middle
I run the gamut of love
Wiggle while you walk
Even when you talk make a little wiggle
Wiggle when you walk, you wiggle when you walk
You make a little wiggle, you make a wiggle when you walk
People who are people, people are doing things
Make your voice ring wailing through the mountains
Giggle in the middle, a little silly
A silly Billy or silly Jilly
Let it thrill you, when you shrill dig the feeling of your shouting
People who are people, people are doing things, people are doing
People who are people
Wiggle while you walk
Even when you talk make a little wiggle
Wiggle when you walk, you wiggle when you walk
You make a little wiggle, you make a wiggle when you walk
People who are people, people are doing things
Wiggle while you walk
Even when you talk make a little wiggle
Wiggle when you walk, you wiggle when you walk
You make a little wiggle, you make a wiggle when you walk
Song #3 – Marimba Project
So, I had a crazy week, flew down to NYC for a few days visiting friends, playing a show with Jeffrey Lewis and the Jrams and friends Toby Goodshank and Deenah Vollmer and their band LA Boobs. So I didn’t get to produce and mix part 3 of the 3 songs series I’m putting out this month. Luckily, I’ve got some stuff already completed from the months #100songs last year. This one is an unnamed project written for a potential TV commercial, haha. They asked for a marimba song. Not sure if I got the commercial or not, but at least I had fun writing this and wrote something quite unlike anything I’ve done in the past.

Song #2 of Subscription Song Series #100Songs
I’m happy to say I’ve completed the second chapter in my 3 song series for the month of January. This one is called “Wait for the Beep.” I’m awfully proud of this one. I wrote three songs in series using the same looped background sound, to me like a visual artist might use the same canvas or back ground and depict different images on top of it. I had a tough time with this one and had to re-write some sections, but the parts which were the most challenging turned out to be the most moving pieces of the song. Thanks for subscribing, please spread the word to your friends and family and help make this a big thing, these new songs are some of my best, and I’d really like the world to hear! Next week, since I’m traveling to NYC for a performance with Jeffrey Lewis, I will be releasing a song which is not in this series of three. The final and best chapter of the series will be in the last week of January. So much fun! Without further ado…

Wait, wait for it, wait for the beep, I hear it coming
It, it’s on, it’s on it’s way, don’t you deny it
I need, I need… I go and buy it
I need, I need… I need supplies
I need, I need it, I need money to survive, need money to survive
Or be, be out on the, out on the streets, out on the streets again
I need, I need… I go and buy it
I need, I need… I need supplies
Walking down the street in this poor city
I’m making ends meet, but just, and for how long? What if something happens?
I got no backup, no pension, I’ve got a kid to feed. What if I can’t?
I’m working hard just to make it, make it onto dry land
I tread water then make a swim for it
A mad dash in an ocean made of need.
I need, I need… I go and buy it
I need, I need… I need supplies
Wait, wait for it, wait for the beep, I feel it coming
It, it’s on, it’s on the street, out on the street again
We need, we need… but we can’t buy it
We need, we need… need to survive
We need a leader, someone to help us, someone who’s agenda is not controlled by money
A super hero, someone who cares, who’ll get us onto dry land
We’re in an ocean, treading water, getting tired, our lungs are filling
Gonna make a mad dash in an ocean made of need.
I need, I need… need to survive.
Song #1 of Seth’s Song-a-Week project is here!
Yep, that’s right, it has begun. I have completed my first track for the Song-a-Week project for 2015. This one is called “Stars On the Pavement.”

This one is part of a series. I started writing some three-song-songs in which I made a long background on which to put my lyrics and melodies, then wrote three separate songs over the background. This could be likened to making a giant collage, cutting it into pieces and using the collage as a backdrop for three separate paintings. I’m very happy with how this one turned out. It just gets better and better as it goes. This month I will release the full series in three pieces. At the end of the musical series, I will do a remix of all the best pieces of the three and present a brand new track from the three. I will also be sending subscribers the full length version along with the short ones. This first track is a gift to everyone! The rest can be accessed by subscribers only. Click here to Subscribe.
Stars On the Pavement
Where are you going to, my god? When are we going to align?
I make a forest for you, path lined with wild flowers, took a million hours and a quadrillion dollars
I sing a chorus for you in the forest that I made. I use the birds to sing, the wind and everything, oh
I see you ride across the night sky, hand in a bottle, a message to everyone that you won’t let us down, no.
It’s not the end of the world, maybe the end of our humanity, but to be is neverending temporary
Maybe just a habit to be, maybe this is nothing to me . . .
I played my part, I made a forest on your land. I nurtured it, covered seeds in soil with my own hands
and when it’s time to go, and then I’m planted in the ground, the leaves and dust will play, and I will lay without a sound
There aren’t many, not many left of us 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1
I see you ride across the night sky, hand in a bottle, a message to everyone that you won’t let us down.
Stars on the pavement, I’m pacing the waves of it traveling the speed of life which is faster than light.
The speed of life is faster than light.
Seth’s new subscription service is finally here!
Seth’s new site and 100 New Songs Subscription Service
2015 marks Seth Faergolzia’s 20th year as a recording & touring musician. A great milestone. During this year Seth will finish up his “100songs” project and release it one brand new song per week via subscription service. Fans can subscribe for as little as one dollar a month and get new material before the work goes public!
Over the last 4 months, Seth has been writing like mad to complete 100songs, almost one song per day, from simple guitar and voice, to super dense loops and soundscapes to electronically produced weird pop tracks. Now that they are done, he will record, produce, mix and release them, one brand new track every week! 100songs narrowed down to the best 50. After that, subscribers can vote to decide which of those 50 songs gets put onto an album at the end of the year. You get to help choose how the work is portrayed!
There is a “members only” blog where you’ll get a peek into the life and creative process; you’ll even get to put in your opinions on how it all pans out.
By subscribing, it will be like days of old when kingdoms would act as patrons to gifted creators but way cooler because we’re all real people! No king, no permissions to ask, just pure creation. This is like giving an artist a salary. Predictable income means focus upon the writing and production in order to really make a masterpiece (or two or three or five or ten!) We hope you will support this in any way you can.
Endless thanks as always,
Seth and Crew
