Song 59 "Olive, I've green eyes" (I)
I Hope Your God Delivers - Track 7
I have been taking a hand held digital recorder with me to work and writing songs along the way. Today I had time on a job (between applications of setting drywall compound) to collate bits of “Olive, I’ve green eyes.” I am working in a retired art teacher’s house that is very near the bay. She is an elegant woman. Her house is old with a good feeling and oddly sparse except for the artwork of her students. I sat at her dining room table, writing, surrounded by one artist’s work that reminds me of both Andrew Wyeth and the children’s book “Curious George”. Outside was grey and cold and quiet.
I recorded “Olive” tonight and really liked the first take. I might leave it simple as it falls in at about the mid point of the current album. The previous 4 songs are busy with voices. Also the recording has the excitement of a newly written song. We’ll see.
