When I was getting my Commercial Music degree, an instructer there looked at me and said "I bet you're a songwriter. You look like a songwriter." It's always confused me, cause I've never written a decent song in my life. I still wonder if it was something about my ratty pink chuck taylors, cause all great songwriters wear chucks, or at least they should.

But anyway. There are people in this town who know a lot about music and making great songs, and they are all telling me I need to create something original and stop singing that Such Great Heights cover already.

So I'm trying my hand at songwriting here... This is just a dorky little song I've been working on. It's funny, cause there are lines I absolutely love and lines I absolutely hate... but the song's kind of got a life of it's own at the moment. So right now it's something really simple and cheezey, but you've got to start somewhere, right?  Recording a raw track, look out for it in the next few days. Think Ben Folds. Any feedback would be *wonderful*, as I don't really know what I'm doing.
