prisms and colors and songs, oh my

Spent the majority of the day writing no. 24 (I've reached the 2 dozen mark!)...I was relentless. Usually I give up after an hour and chuck the little red notebook out of my sight, but today I just chugged along and spent...a good six hours just churning this one out. It's like I've taken some sort of music-writing laxative...(was that too descriptive?) I guess I'm just taking advantage of the piano & schedule-less days, before I head off to the mountains and glaciers.

This one has an Ani Difranco vibe, which is a new twist for me. But I tell myself that experimentation is a good thing...and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. It's called "Prism Subtleties." The second verse has some Dylan "Like A Rolling Stone" references, and there's a little heads up to Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" (how could I not, when the whole concept of the piece is based on a prism, haar.) But I promise they're not just shallow references; they actually do tie in to the piece.
I've also decided to modify some other song titles: "Rome (In Replay)" and "Disenchantment, Stirred" just to spice things up. Not that anyone really cares. (Just humor me and pretend you're interested in my songwriting escapades. Huzzah.)

So...voila: "Prism Subtleties""Prisms & Intentions"
