solo kitchen party

clicking around
getting deep
into that sweet part
of youtube
tweak the speakers up

pull out my guitar
join in
hammering out
big happy chords

full voice singing
foot stomps the floor
imagining a ragged bass
or Tom's old plank

singing voice soaring out
over the dinner dishes



These are some of the key songs for reference:

I'm pretty addicted to Shovels and Rope at the moment.

  3. I love the visual this invokes, as well as the verb "tweak" in reference to speakers. :)

  4. What a treat to find your moniker at Real Toads, Ollie. You have infused your lines with the energy of music-making. I enjoyed this very much.

  9. Ha. I have never played along to youtube, but it sounds like you got lost in the music for a moment, which is a cool thing. Better do those dishes before too long though.

  10. This is dinner done right. I really like the energy and build up here. I also like how there is another layer to your last lines. How singing over the dinner plates could also mean the musician chooses song as nourishment over actual food. Thanks for posting to the Out of Standard and Viva la!
