  • 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 😉

    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!

     

  • Song #9 – Rubbin’ It In

    The Month of the Loop has begun!  Today is my BIRTHDAY!!!  I don’t know if you all have noticed yet, but my first month of this project was all computer recordings, the 2nd month was all band and acoustic sort of stuff, and this month will be all loops!  I’m excited because this stuff is so much easier to mix than the full band 24 instrument productions. Everything on here is my voice. First I recorded a loop with my voice, live in studio, then I layered my main vocals over that.

    Rubbing It In© ⓟ 2014 Seth Faergolzia ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

    Human in a bottle and I’m rubbin’ it up to pour a cup

    I wanna take a pull and drink myself up, I pour a cup

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin’ it in!

     

    When I put a joke in, into the mental ether

    I yolk the folk up and they giggle with their dental teeth

    Rental cars for miles and miles

    Emptying the pockets of the souls defiled

    I’m ripping up the money

    I’m ripping up the money

    I’m ripping up the money even though my joke was funny

    It made your eyes all runny and it tightened up your tummy

    But I just can’t keep running like this

    This isn’t bliss;  it’s like I missed the point when I rolled into the joint

    To cover up the pain I could never seem to tame

    But this is the time when my mind isn’t blind

    And I’m finding out the kind of man I can be when I shine

    I’m fine, and I’m an artist of the utmost

    I roast all my past selves in an oven made of love

    They cook to perfection, warm and tender, no need to defend ’em

    I gobble ’em up and wash ’em down with a goblet of my blood

    This is self love of the highest order

    This ain’t no ordinary sorb, sorb

    Absorb all my past selves

    Absorb all my past selves

    Rubbin’ it in

     

    Human in a bottle and I’m rubbin’ it up to pour a cup

    I wanna take a pull and drink myself up, I pour a cup

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin’ it in!

     

    Listen to this:

    you might have missed out so open up your ears and take the words out of your mouth

    Aw yeah, rubbin’ it in

    When I was a little kid of 7 found a gun in an abandoned building, just out to have some fun

    Were things any different them or have they stayed the same

    Gobble up my past selves, then I change the name and I said

    Aw yeah I’m rubbin’ it in, aw yeah I’m rubbin’ it in.

     

    If I take a picture of the who I was then

    And then again take picture of the me at age 10

    Aw yeah, I gobbled it up

    Look a couple years into the future and then

    Compare to the picture of the me that was 10, and you can tell

    Aw yeah, I gobbled it up

     

    Human in a bottle and I’m rubbin’ it up to pour a cup

    I wanna take a pull and drink myself up, I pour a cup

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin’ it in!

     

    Think about it:

    Think about this:

    Won’t say it loud, that’d be annoying

    Somehow made this song that I sing and that’s a thing

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin’ it in

    Every memory, every thought you think

    Can get lost or put into the mental sink and I said

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin’ it in

    I’m gazing down from up above

    Etherally looking at my brain with love and I said

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin it in

    I reach inside with memory

    Valuable, each and every piece and I said

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin’ it in

    Aw yeah, I’m rubbin’ it in.
