This one had never quite felt finished. But I've always liked it, so I read it at an open mike tonight. It got a good response, so I've decided to post it!
Little Things
I like the little things:
the funky little bassline
tucked away
under the lead guitar,
the quick counter melody
weaved in and out
of a chorus,
a band member yelling
“What?!”
away from the microphone
but still immortalized on the live recording
after the lead singer explains
that “Mr. Brownstone is really just a song.”
I love the little pause
in the live version of a song
between lines that you
just don’t get on the record.
