I’ve been working on a number of songs lately, but they always seem to be birthed in threes. The 3 that come together don’t usually share a theme, and sometimes not even a melodic structure either. I’m not sure why they do this yet… though I have a hunch that they’re commenting on each other in some way. One song will want to be tough & strong, but the other doesn’t want to be taken the wrong way so it will be tender & delicate. While the other one may just be quietly sitting on the sidelines watching these two songs duke it out only to come in at the end and tie it all together with some masterful turn of a melody that at once silences them but unlocks their deeper melody.

I have finished up two songs and this is the 3rd one of the batch, in a rough presentation I did to a songwriters group I’m in. The verses have been a bit refined since I performed this last Wednesday, but the overall structure of the song is there.

Baby, Hey - take 1 - recorded Wednesday January 13th, 2010

Let me know what you think… I hope to get the trio of songs together in one acoustic set that I’ll release by the end of the month Keep me honest and bug me if I’m doing it…
