Music Archive 4: Sci-fi Desolation

Both of these songs were recorded around '00 or '01 with varying degrees of success. The short sample of Desolation Peak is a song I wrote about the book, Desolation Angels by, Jack Kerouac. It tells the story of him working as a fire lookout on a mountain in Washington. During his time up there, he wrote about his travels and his loneliness on the mountain, which he called 'Desolation Peak' and the other fire lookouts that he referred to as 'Angels' that watched over the 'Void'. Looking back, I think my lyrics are a little cheesy, but I still like the piano melody. Parades I like a lot, even though it was recorded badly. I had fun doing it because it has so many parts to it, and it's kinda like sci-fi meets the back porch with lyrics about the "parades" of traffic during morning rush hours.

I like these two songs of yours. Rough around the edges for Parades, but still very influential and agitating at the same time. : )
