Adventure Thing #2.23 - "Overcoat" & "I Will Wait For You If You Do For Me" (Patreon)

I can't believe it, but we're actually nearing the end of these posts — only 3 more weeks of posts, and then it will be time to vote to influence the final track list of the official physical/digital release (don't worry, you will also get all of these Adventure Things packed up in a digital file, but releasing them all physically would make for an unwieldy 12LP set...)

Unreleased Track - "Overcoat"

I had debated whether or not to release a couple of these tracks, and this one was one of my most on-the-fence decisions. In the end, I thought it would be fun to share in the spirit of transparency, but I will be honest with you that it is one of my 2 least favorite songs I've ever written (the other one will be coming along in the next couple of weeks).

This was a cowrite from the KABOOM! writing sessions, and I really did not end up gelling with the other 2 writers. Listening back to this song kind of makes me laugh and wince. The lyrics don't make any sense, yet these guys were super particular about them.

Semi-Released Tracks - "I Will Wait For You If You Do For Me"

I wrote this one back in the days before IFD, when I had the idea to briefly do a "songwriter subscription service" where people signed up (via PayPal) to pay me $0.99 per month and I would send them a new song every week. While the idea was sound (Patreon anyone??), the infrastructure didn't really exist yet, and it remained a pretty small experiment that only lasted a few months. 

That said, there are 3 versions of this track! One was my original acoustic, one swapped out acoustic for gameboy, and one was a never-officially-released bonus track from KABOOM! that we recorded with Matt Mahaffey during those sessions. 

Enjoy!
