Every song that is part of the 2008 Weekly Song Experiment was recorded as an improvisation while adhering to self-imposed limitations. Each song was written and recorded in a small room over the course of a week using only one microphone and free audio applications. Each piece of music/song had it's length limited to two minutes and thirty seconds.
Week four of the experiment was really quite weird. I wanted to focus more on lyrics this week, but I ended up writing, recording and mixing this song in one evening. I did this with only one other song during the ten week experiment, which just so happens to be next weeks song.
This weeks song is entitled Your Plan.

Lyrics
When can we slow down?
You said...when we're dead and gone.
I'm not okay with that plan.
The silver color speaks to me and says...
GO ON!
It's not enough to
SHOW UP!
There's just more to it than that and
the birds will support me when breathe does escape
me
And ice crumbles under my feet.
Attach the prize to me
You said...the water is too shallow.
It's what's underneath and can't see
that swallows the sigh and says to me...
GO ON!
It's not enough to
SHOW UP!
There's just more to it than that and
the wind will support me when breath does escape
me
and I finally fall to my knees
