Saddest Songs - Pretty Little Birds - C. J. Leon

[scaryfairyboi]

this beautifully sad song gave me a lump in my throat.

[thesurrationalone]

@scaryfairyboi and quite at the opposite spectrum... i can't wait to be able to play this again... hand problems still prevent it... and even though it takes a lot out of me to do it... funny that this and "sex kitten" are the ones you commented on... funny what a couple years will do, eh? i guess i'm still singing falsetto. ;)

[fngrpkn06]

Great lyrics and the guitar work coincides nicely!

[thesurrationalone]

@fngrpkn06 Thanks. It was just the finger-picked chord progression, and Craig Day, a composer friend of mine, challenged me to do better. That night I wrote the piece and 9 months later I could play it straight through. ;)

[TheBluesBeggar]

makes me rethink the box of KFC after hearing that line about a box of breaded body parts...

[thesurrationalone]

@TheBluesBeggar yeah, eh? i was so pleased that i had found a way to make such a sad song uplifting at the end. i was later informed that the conclusion, though funny, was far from uplifing. ;)

[thesurrationalone]

@TheBluesBeggar And btw, please do re-think that box of KFC. They have a terrible record of animal cruelty.

Oh brother.

[thesurrationalone]

@johnengels61 I suppose you missed the several dozen video and picture montages with originall music that are very similar to your "Birds 2010" video. Are they your photos? "Brother" is perhaps more true than you realize.

[johnengels61]

@thesurrationalone Why do you ask if they are my photos?

[thesurrationalone]

@johnengels61 Well, because if you were also a nature photographer, we would be artists working in a similar medium.

Thanks. I've just put most of the new album "Zombie Swingers" up in my myspace player. That link is in the "more info". You can download the last album free there too. It's a strange world. Enjoy!
