I'd Like to Sleep

A sleepy little ditty for all you bleary-eyed raddevon.com fans! On February 20th, raddevon video will feature the process of recording and uploading this song as narrated by me. Be sure to check it out.

Stale Chocolates (The Bittersuite)

I was helping a friend of mine clean out his dorm in preparation for his move back home, and we found a box of chocolates from his ex-girlfriend. He commented that they were extremely stale. Poignant, I thought.

This song was expanded to a suite for the sole purpose of using the "bittersuite" pun. Pretty pathetic. ;)

PS. my mispronunciation of the Shakespearean name "Gloucester" has already been brought to my attention and will be corrected in future recordings.

Slave Song

This could technically be a really short full song, but I'm not finished with it yet. I came up with a fairly dour Am-E progression, and then my guitar instructor came up with the little repeated bridge. It adds a nice flair to the song.

Naturally, something so morose needed complementary lyrics. So I chose the metaphor of slavery.

A friend of mine told me to write a song about this dream he had. The result was this little snippet which I abandoned because everyone who listened to it gave it a lukewarm response. I like it myself, except for the Alice in Chains-esque chorus.
