"Fire Fly Blues" (reflies)

This song came from 3 places:

1) I was at the cabin up north don't cha know and I was walking out to the pier- it was about 11 or so, the moon had yet to rise and what do I spy but a flightless fire fly. I cuddle him to my sandal and walk out to the pier to meet my friends. He was like a little beacon in a James Bond movie, in the complete dark we could track his path up my leg swirly staircase style, around my hip, up my torso up my neck and up my ear until he got to the top of my head and just sat still, like a kyle lighthouse- and I remained still his entire trip up me but once he was on my head I couldn't stop laughing. It was amazing.

2) I found a melody like I always do, forgot it like I always do, but somehow remembered it- I found it originally as I slapped my knees on a late night bike ride home. I was not holding on to my bike, I was slapping my knees because

3's) I had suffered a broken rib earlier in the night and it was incredibly painful to bend over and grab the handles of my bike. So I sang to hummed and whistled to keep my mind off the pain. I can't sing very well right now with out pain so this song was done in a quiet lullaby style dedicated to the kingdom of the fire fly, the greatest creatures representing a youthful living midwest summer's night and finding love between the darkness.

Here is "Fire Fly Blues"

Track 1 guitar /vox

track 2 ham bone /vox

I'm starting to realize the internet version of these unmixed recordings is a thousand times shittier than it normally sounds shitty, and I'm sorry, I don't know how to mix, I don't know how to make things sound good. I just have a dumb on-board mic on my recorder. They are demos. I write them, play them once, record them and never play them again. So this is "just for the record" kind of thing. Maybe I'll go back and look at some songs and do it the right way someday when I actually feel good about songs I write.

Toooo night
I’ll fall from the sky
I don’t know where I’ll land
I don’t know where I stand
but I’ll light my way to you

Moon beams
June dreams
Of dancing with you in the stars
The sky would be ours-
put me in a jar
and keep me far
away
ba-bay,
but I’d still leave the light on for you
that’s what I was born to do
ooooh oooh ohh oooooooooh.

I’ll flutter near
between there and here
I don’t know where I’m going but I’ll know once I get there

If you held me tight
my body would light
It would all be clear
this big atmostphere built for two
me and you

burnout not fade away
remember me the next day
let me on my way
