Evolution of a Song-Week Two

Week Two-"Loser"

(This is me in Queens-there are so many cool graffiti spots around!:)

This song "Loser" was written on a day when I really wanted to go have a happy hour drink/snack with a friend. You know how sometimes, you just want a beer and the feeling doesn't go away until you have one? Well that was me that day. I called everyone I knew but I was unsuccessful-nobody was free to drink with me. Or I would have to wait a few hours (gasp!).

So I opened the fridge (or went to the corner store to get one-I can't quite remember) and I cracked open my Modelo Especial. It tasted goooooood:) I think part of my wanting a drink was the "going out" part. I was feeling stir crazy. So even though the beer tasted goooooood, I wanted to be anywhere except for home alone. So, I picked up my guitar.

The song is born out of that feeling. I really was drinking booze all by myself and just making fun of myself for feeling like I did. I'm sure it's a sentiment a lot of us can relate to. But writing the song definitely made the afternoon worth being alone for.

To listen to "Loser", sign up for my list! This is the list you absolutely want to be a part of. One song a week for a year? Woohoo!

See you next week in your box,
