After years of chit-chatting about it, my wife, Diana Lynn Small, & I have begun writing some songs together, combining her angelic voice w/ my weird words, her strumming with my shitty drumming. We're calling the project, Leon Tyner's Antique Horse Blanket; so far, we're six songs in. Each song varies, but typically, it plops out like this: Diana records herself strumming a new tune & singing "dummy lyrics", then I "translate" her sounds into words, before we finally sit down & jam it out together. From time to time, I'll post some of those lyrics here:
ASSESS DESIRES & MAKE TIME Keep your chin up / you’re electric Keep your chin up / you’re electric Tune the mattress carry us tonight In the mornings / you wake angry In the mornings / you wake angry Surely we’ll use your lava pies tonight Mornings are an ancient hole But you can get out my boy & when you do reach my heart We get so high When you’re drooling / you’re an angel When you’re drooling / you’re an angel Fuel yourself for fragrant heat tonight Learning / on the mattress We’re learning / on the mattress Pulling for making good time tonight We’ve always been the worst At taking chance for whispers & I was hoping to lay down On the fire Keep your chin up / you’re electric Keep your chin up / you’re electric Tune the mattress carry us tonight
