Trio: Season Five, Suite #4!

November 17, 2006 by krisis

Trio: Season Five, Suite #4:
Songs on the Topic of Things Left Unsaid:
Not So Bad, Regrets, Under My Skin

Trio – the original singer-songwriter web session – returns for its fifth season featuring my own DIY music. This season each trio of songs will have a loose topic to connect them, which I will discuss between songs.

A sample of what I had to say in this Trio…

Re: Things Left Unsaid
The point is that they were all written about feelings I was having (romantic (or otherwise (in some cases))) about somebody that I didn’t feel comfortable expressing to them face-to-face. I guess in that way songwriting is an ultimate form of passive-aggressiveness.

Not So Bad
At the same time that it’s a little bit scathing to somebody else, it’s a little bit of a pep talk to myself. I used to think things were so bad … and now, not so much. Although, I still get very drunk on the sound of my own voice.

Regrets
It’s another one of those wonderful examples where I named a song something that isn’t in the lyrics at all. But, I think you’ll understand why it’s called “Regrets.”

I’ve actually written a number of songs about that same person … but [“Regrets”] truly exercised her. She’s not in my head anymore.

Under My Skin
If you’ve listened to me at all through my collegiate career then you’ve definitely heard this song. … It’s so dumb simple. It’s so dumb, and so simple. … But, what it is is a very honest portrayal of an emotion. I think that’s why maybe people liked it. I don’t know – maybe they just heard me play it a lot.

You can download the entire Trio , download the single of “Under My Skin,” or start from a past suite:

  • Suite #1: Identity
  • Suite #2: Elise
  • Suite #3: Hindsight

    You know, I really enjoyed the last two Trios you put up. I think it just flows better and is more natural in the “one take” format.

    Also, the Angry Song is actually quite beautiful. I ‘d never heard it before, and particularly liked it….(though, “Vortex Of Negative Energy Girl” cracked me up…I had to picture a twisted superhero. ;)

    Hey…are you going to do a Trio devoted to covers? I’m ready for some Tori! *laughs*

    Actually, i am doing a Trio of Cover Trios, each drawing songs from a different period of my life. I’m sure some Tori will find its way in, but i’m not sure what song yet. As i can play just about anything by her (seriously), i’m open to suggestions.

    Well,it doesn’t seem you should take requests, since you need to find what relates to your own life and you’re inspired to play. ;P

    But,since you ask, “Spark” and “Pandora’s Aquarium” are always my fav. Tori requests. :) It would also be interesting to hear you do a cover of a Tori cover…she does so many! *laughs*

    Well, Tori was a big enough influence on my teenage and college years that i can probably justify any song of hers as an influence. I mean, i learned how to read sheet music from Choirgirl. That’s pretty major. Ive actually covered about half of that disc at one time or another; “Pandora’s” used to be the top of that list, but lately i’ve been focused on trying to learn it on piano (you know me, never start with the easy stuff).

    Hehehehe…yes, learning piano via Tori isn’t necessarily the easiest undertaking. But I *love* playing her stuff on piano, even if it doesn’t sound quite like she plays it. ;P

    I think Choirgirl and Earthquakes are her best albums; the first for the musical complexity, the second for the lyrical rawness.

    Anyhow, it’s interesting that you learned to read music via that album. :)
