Jeff Keen

Started doodling on the piano over Thanksgiving in 2012, and this came out. It’s just ok for me.

The lyrics to this song are from a 1965-1966 John Lennon postcard. I made it because of a reddit thread, and at the time was absolutely thrilled with what I came up with. Nobody else even tried really.

But I still really like it!

This was one of the first things I recorded after rediscovering songwriting in 2011, and it really made me feel alive.

Years later, I’m still pretty into the keyboard solo in the middle, and the whole drum track (not such a bad sound for one pretty cheap microphone on the floor) but the lyrics, the lyyyrrriiicss! Yikes. I was so blinded by getting the sound that I as long as the rhyme worked I was satisifed.

I’d like to retry this one, add another verse, and put some lyrics in that actually make sense. That’s what 10 years of songwriting perspective gives me.
