Obstinate Seahorse

By Cosmic Cairns on October 6, 2016 2:22 am

This is a song that I apparently started to record back in 2012 and then abandoned for some reason.  I'm not sure why.  The acoustic guitar parts were there from before, but I added everything else this week to help flesh it out a little.

Glad you decided to give this a public outing. Great energy!

This is fun song! Nice to start a grey day like this!

Fantastic powerflowerful instrumentation. The melody-hook is a legendary earworm, for sure. You did another hit, CC. What kind of medicine are you gargling?

Nice catchy melody, and cool lyrics. Gotta those seahorse!

That seahorse gif above is insane!

This is pretty cool.  It has a nice lo-fi Beirut vibe, but without the Klezmer influence!

Thanks!  A little while back I decided to dig through some of my old folders and discovered I had quite a little treasure trove of unfinished songs that I had kind of forgotten about.  WeeklyBeats seems like a good chance to finish some of them off.

Glad I could provide a little sunshine to a grey day!

Thanks so much.  I appreciate it.  Hopefully I can keep gargling the medicine, whatever it might be.  smile

Seahorses are truly amazing creatures.

Thanks!  I felt the gargling was necessary to the underwater theme. 

Very nice track, the gargling is indeed a cool and highly unexpected touch!

   Thanks!  It was surprisingly a little bit of a challenge to pull off, but definitely seemed worth it.

Really uplifting song!  Great guitar lines mixed with the vocals smile
