Hello Open Mic!
Here is a song that could have multiple layers of meaning... or it might just be about a spider.
A word of warning: the video of this performance was marred by flashes of sunlight reflected off of my guitar. I did my best to make use of it with cut and paste effects, because I liked the performance, but anyone with epilepsy should probably not watch this video, just listen š
Also included is a "bonus track" I recorded, hope you enjoy it š
MY PET SPIDER
Today I
I killed my pet spider
They said she was dangerous
Oh but I
I still think she was kind of
Pretty what with
All those long black legs
And hourglass of red
All those long black legs
And hourglass of red
Now she's
She was
Graceful in her way
Though I wouldn't have wanted
To be
Tiny and entangled
In her soft silk threads
All those black legs
And hourglass of red
All those long black legs
And hourglass of red
Now she's
I took her to the road in front of our house
Upended her box and I shook her out
And she started to crawl away
She started to crawl away
She started
She started
To crawl
Oh God
Today I
I killed my pet spider
They said she was dangerous
Oh but I
I still think she was kind of
Pretty
All those long black legs
And hourglass of red
All those long black legs
And hourglass of red
Now she's
