Motel Room
Wrote the first verse or so in a motel room. The Knights Inn. You know it.
Sometimes when I get stuck, I'll go back and see what I've never finished. Sometimes it works. out. I was down when i finished it. Oddly enough I suppose it needed the 9 month wait. At the time I was numb to it. I was in shock I think.
I tried recording a demo of it back then in the motel room. I can't recall what room. I love that motel. Such character. Dirty ass spunk that place. The kind of place you write songs about. Funny story, I sat down on the bed to try to record a demo of it. As I announced the name of it and began to play, there's a knock at the door. It's her. She's back from work. She brought me food. I forget the phone's on. Everything in my head turns to mush apparently and I forgot all about the song, the phone. It's muffled, but we talk and she showers the work off her. I totally fucking forget about this song and I end up watching some really awful motel TV, but it's really the best kind. I think it was the Oscars come to think of it. It goes on for 15 minutes or so.
If that doesn't explain right there how it was, then I don't know how else. Pretty fitting that it all happened, the accidental recording and me forgetting about it. I'm kind of appalled I did come to think of it. Perhaps I was too shy to write when she was around. I should've never opened that damn door haha. No. Maybe I'll stick that sound clip at the beginning of the next record. Wouldn't that be some shit. Come on, sadistic? Probably. Feel my pain damnit.
I don't regret a thing.
