I took “I Know That I Can’t” off. It was always kind of on there tentatively, since it’s one of my older songs and it’s really not all that great. The best thing it has going for it is a little lift to a D augmented chord in the hook of the song (much like what Eddie Money did on “Baby Hold On”), and that’s just not enough to get past the crap lyrics I wrote. I was in a phase of writing about guys who aren’t good enough (which apparently comes and goes in my writing), and this was one of my lesser attempts at telling that guy’s story.<\/p>\n
I’m actually hoping to write a few that can replace the older ones, but since my writing has been crippled by my “creative bladder’s swollen prostate” (hoping it’s not cancer), it’s just a trickle these days if at all.<\/p>\n
I’m hoping to get 15 songs on the final album (up from the 13 I originally picked), and there are 17 or 18 in contention now, so here we go!<\/p>\n
Happy New Year to all!
