Aimless Ideas: songs songs songs

Besides making acting like a fool, I make a bunch of music, most of it unfinished and never will be finished, but here's a little ditty on the status on my current ideas and such.

First off, influences are this point would be Pavement, R.E.M., and The Smiths.

- Song #1: "Ages" - this song has been a trip to finish, a slow clunky song with some Michael Stipe influenced vocals, pretty much a slow mover, the chorus (if you could call it that) hits a bit like a pile of bricks, although nothing enticing, the last chorus is probably that lift off moment. Almost done, probably to be on the upcoming EP of sorts.

- Song #2: "After the Days" - probably the most jumpy song, the drums are very dance-y I guess, reminds me of The Smiths, came up with the bassline while in the shower, I think the chorus is a bit of a sad affair, not sure how to feel about that.

- Song #3: "Voila, the Answer" - this is a strange song, the chord I used for that da da da da part is very exotic sounding I think, but maybe not. It's definitely a full band song, and possibly it will be played by none other than the Cape Crusaders. Definitely the fastest and hardest of the songs. Excited to see it in a finished form.

- Song #4: "Rest of my Life" - extremely sarcastic song, not very far done though, planning to get it to sound like Weezer or something of that manner. Has a line that goes "Didn't you hear?/I said I wanted you here/But you never came/Only a motherfucker left to blame. Classy.

That's about the jist of it. We'll see if these ever see the light of day.
