Lost Songs Found

I have a terrible habit of half writing a song, then leaving it to wither forever. I'll write a hook and a verse and then just lose interest and leave it uncompleted. I do that a lot in my life and that is probably why I feel like a loser right now. I'm trying to change that. Throughout this weekend until Tuesday, I am going to my vault and completing several songs.

I have a little tape player deal-y thing, and when I get an idea for a song, I just hit record and let her rip. It's like a scrap book journal of songs. Sometimes I go to a friends and sit with them and come up with an idea on the spot and record it. So I'm going through all these song ideas and trying to put stuff together in effort to write about 5 or 6 songs in 4 days. That's how I wrote almost every Rocktopus song I (i mean "he") plays. I had a show, nothing to play, so I wrote 6 songs and learned how to play a drum at the same time in 4 days and the rest is history.

In the spirit of the show LOST season 6 premier on Tuesday night on ABC, I am going to write almost all of the lost songs about LOST, or at least, inspired by LOST and personalized to my experience.
But first, there is a song I half wrote on the spot 8 months ago called "Blind Flower Girl" that I would like to re-visit.
Here is the basic idea of the song, remember, it was written on the spot. recorded and percussion by Chopper Chioda

The next blog will have a more refined and thought out version.
