Yesterday one of my co-workers bought a powder blue sweatshirt. That's all it took. My brain said "Powder Blue... That's a great name for a song!" I could even hear a little bit of the Badfingerish melody coming through. I didn't even jot down the word as I usually do, trusting that it was a strong enough idea for me to remember and it was. Last night as the kids were getting ready for bed I grabbed my guitar and away it went. The lyrics aren't perfect. I'll probably change it a little here and there, but it's pretty much a full blown song already. I taped a quick demo so I could try out some harmonies and they sounded pretty good too. As far as what the songs actually about, your guess is good as mine:
Powder blue, your eyes light up the sky in powder blue.
Yes it true, you can't cradle a goodbye, yes it's true.
But if you care for my endless presence,
Then I'm there for a day of pleasence
Not a gray sky, or a tear's ache
per chance to pass by
your golden cheesecake
in the sun..
