  • Song #12 – Bobble People

    This one was a doozy. It actually still is a doozy, but in a different way. I’m starting to get into the material I haven’t gotten to work on previous to the recording project, so what I’m doing each week is to learn the song from the original sketch recording, getting it to performance level, then recording it in my studio. This one was different though; it had so many parts that to memorize it all in a matter of days was impossible so I recorded it section by section then edited it all together in the studio. A bit of cheating, but I really had no choice in the situation. This song is still a doozy because it is a part of my humor that not many people get to see (because, believe it or not, I am a bit shy until I get really comfortable around someone). I’m a little scared to release this one because of its irreverence and ridiculous stance, but I think it’s important because part of this project of writing #100songs involved writing whatever I felt at any moment then seeing it through to the end. I love this song, don’t get me wrong; I just worry that I might lose some subscribers because of the content! haha. That being said, have a listen and enjoy! Please commment and tell me what you think this story is about.

    BOBBLE PEOPLE – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

    My bowels just emptied completely, testicle

    And when the world doesn’t care, oo, how does this affect me?
    Bawk Bukawk

    If I don’t care about the world it won’t attack again
    I’m broke, it won’t attack
    I’ve grown, I’m good to go, don’tcha know?
    Headed to the Poconos for a swim in the snow
    Feel the wind blow, Glowing from a trim to my fro
    Oh no! Don’t throw that mohawk down
    This town ain’t big enough for another shortly shorn bro with a frown
    Don’t throw that mohawk down, don’t cut it down, no, bro

    Wiccans are headed my way, the Wiccans are headed my way
    Don’t know what I done but they after me!
    Not really sure what I’ll say when they come up to me
    Probably be like, “Hey, nice day, what’dya say?
    Is it time that I pay? or am I craycray?”
    Thinking this is the day that they came for me
    My body will spray uncontrollably all over the place
    Like a lawn blazer, a lawnblazer, now there’s a nice idea!

    Believe it or not, Wiccans aren’t really evil like you think
    They just wanna coexist and subsist on nuts and berries like the rest of us
    If you put one of them next to a Christian or a Buddhist
    And stripped them of their external layers
    You’d find they were players, fucking players like the rest of us

    If you get right down to it sharks just want to be loved
    They didn’t choose the teeth they were given to chew
    There was no choice in the chew
    They didn’t choose those sharp fucking teeth to rip flesh with
    There was no choice in the chew
    So next time you go and judge a book by its cover
    Just give it a hug and hope you don’t see blood
    It’s always important to never remember
    There was no choice in the chew
    There was no choice in the chew, uh!

    Bobble People
    When you bobble too many people

  • Song #11 – Cowgirl

    This one was pretty fun to write and has become a fan favorite even without the recording.  People come up to me after shows quite often saying they loved that song Cowgirl.  Haha.  If they only knew.  I actually just made this one up while driving around in the car with my daughter and Laura.  I was joking around.  My daughter kept on saying, “Cowboy!” but I insisted that I was a cowgirl, not a cowboy.  I just recorded it onto my phone for the memory, but it stuck in my head so when I arrived home I started developing it.  All the songs this month are loop songs, meaning I wrote them using a loop pedal. I have also kept to a “voice only” rule system, meaning I am only singing, but I’m using some effects and the loop pedal. The outcome is choral, a capella insanity! Once in a while there’s a song I don’t really care about at the start that through development becomes one of my favorites.  This is one of those. It was just me goofing off, but it grew.  I also have a nifty dance to this one.  I’m hoping I can get together with some videographer friends of mine to make a dance video to this.  I was thinking it’s about time I write my first line dance 😉

    COWGIRL – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia,  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

    I am a cowgirl staying out late

    I am a cowgirl feeling really great

    I am a cowgirl dressed so fine

    I stay out til nine!

     

    I am a cowgirl riding my steed

    I am a cowgirl ride it with speed

    I can do anything I want

    Cowgirl, cowgirl, cowgirl

     

    I am a cowgirl riding with a cowboy

    Ride that steed till the setting sun

    dig our heels in and get the colt to run

     

    I am a cowgirl, wear a nice vest

    I am a cowgirl, never take a rest

    Ride across the plains right into the wild west

    I ride into the sunset,  what I do best.

    Cowgirl, cowgirl, cowgirl

     

    I am a cowgirl, feeling really cool

    I am a cowgirl, it’s what I like to do

    I am a cowgirl, really really great

    I am a cowgirl, super super late

     

    Clippitty cloppitty clippity cloo, rollin’ down a horse on a road, yo!

     

    I am a cowgirl feeling really great

    I am a cowgirl staying out late

    I am a cowgirl dressed so fine

    I stay out till nine!

     

  • Loop #2 – Booma

    I’m beginning to have quite a bit of improvised material to give to the higher level subscribers. I hope you all enjoy this stuff. It’s made up on the spot and then mixed simply so that I can put an extra out every once in a while. I’ve got a whole pile of these things! Enjoy!

  • Song #10 – Row, Row, Row (aka Singing Through My Nose)

    Recording and mixing live vocal looping is harder than one might think! Creating the sound of a live performance; it’s off the page…

    One fifth through the project for this year! I’ve made good on my promise of a new recording every week. I hope you folks will spread the word. I’d like to keep this independent of other large money making subscription sites etc, but I need exposure. Here’s the video link if you’d like to help out by sharing: https://youtu.be/72Blw9SnU18

    To the song! I’ve had an interesting time getting the sounds I want out of the loop pedal. From live to studio is no easy feat! I’m glad to say Row, Row, Row (aka Singing Through My Nose) feels good enough to put up this week. It’s taken on a slightly different life since, in the studio, I can easily add things. I did stay within the borders of “voice only” which means everything on this track is my voice, though there are effects on parts of it.

    I’d like to especially thank Laura Lee Jones this week.  She has been incredibly supportive through this process, which has not been easy.

    I’m trying out Soundcloud this week for the project. Please let me know if it works ok for you. You can download the track up at the right hand corner of the player.

    Row, Row, Row (aka Singing Through My Nose) – © ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

    You name the date, I’ll name the place
    You wear a hat, I’ll wear the face
    And when you’re rowing, I’ll do the yelling
    Row, Row, Row, Row
    And when you’re yelling, I’ll do the rowing

    Singing through my nose, you know how it goes
    Wading through water and lillypads are tickling my toes

    Never mind you what I said
    Soon your eyes be turning red
    from the books I told you
    Thought you woulda knowed you
    But I had to scold you for the hold you had around my neck
    had your fingers wrapped around my neck
    And there’s no excuse for what you did
    But it is in my nature as a friend to forgive and forget
    Forgive and forget
    Just let it go, let it go, let it go
    We all make mistakes, we are human made out of mistake
    Just let it go, let it go and give ’em a break

    Forgive and forget, just let it go

  • Loops for the General Public #1

    This is a little extra recording for my higher paying subscribers.  During the process of recording my loop songs, I spend a bunch of time improvising and hashing out different ideas.  This is one of those improvised shorts.  There will probably be a whole bunch of these released over the course of the year… Enjoy!
