new song

[jfb]

Inspired mostly by Josh Woodward, I submitted a song this week to Song Fight. Every week they decree a couple of titles; people write songs to suit; and next week, people listen to them and vote. So, I wrote a song called "I Am Tempted", because "Massive Intelligence Failure" is the title of at least two kinds of song I can't write.

I'll be putting a higher-bitrate version on my site later in the week, but in the meantime, you can check it out over at Song Fight, along with the other entries. There's some good stuff there--so far I've enjoyed the ones by Max the Cat, Forty Second Songs (kind of Malarkies-esque) and of course Josh.

Thanks! And thanks for the comments over there. FWIW, you're right about it sounding shaky--mostly because I'd just finished writing the song and was still learning it as I recorded each track. Usually I'd go back and redo or edit a lot of stuff, and someday I probably will, but the goal for this one was just to get something out the door before I fell asleep Sunday night.

I'm happy with the song, though--can't wait to try it with a band.
