This little song was originally written for Manticess<\/a> as a contender for the recent Song Fu challenge ‘write a song with a number as a song title’. We ditched the song, however, and went on to produce “1998”. One of my aims with the 52 project is to improve (or at least to maintain) my playing skills. I figured that most of my faster songs sound better when I force myself to play them faster than I’d imagined them in the first place. The original demo of this particular song here was 20 seconds too long. Maybe it feels a bit hurried now, but hey, another aim is to not bore the listener with seemingly infinite tracks!<\/p>\n

Someone who heard the song instantly remarked that the lyrics are clearly about absinthe. Now I have never tasted that green drink and didn’t think of it while writing the song. But hey, now it’s a song about absinthe. And yes, I promise that there will be more impressive lyrics and more elaborate song structures in this series. But you’ve got to allow for a little la-na-na song every now and then.<\/p>\n

<\/embed><\/object><\/span> #2 Seven Green Fairies<\/a><\/p>\n

Seven green fairies call me on the phone
\nSeven green fairies won’t leave me alone
\nSeven green fairies call me every day
\nSeven green fairies won’t go away
\n Singing la na na na ooho
\nMe and my seven green fairies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven green fairies are with me in my sleep
\nSeven green fairies seven days a week
\nSeven green fairies are with me when I drink
\nMaking me say stupid things
\n Singing la na na na ooho
\nMe and my seven green fairies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven green fairies are messing with my hair
\nSeven green fairies pretend they’re not there
\nSeven green fairies with seven different names
\nYet to me they’re all the same
\nSinging la na na na ooho
\nMe and my seven green fairies<\/strong><\/p>\n
