I don't get much time to record songs, so when I get a solid hour or two I like to make the most of it. The toughest part is trying to figure out what to sing about. I usually have two or three melodies wanting lyrics by the time I sit down to record, and I just have to sing whatever seems interesting or fun. I'm really lacking in lyric inspiration lately, so I reverted to my method of using a crossword clue for a song title. Today's crossword clue was: "Orchard Nightmare". Having grown up on an apple orchard, I thought the song title could be pertinent to my life. What exactly would an orchard nightmare be? Blight? A poorly-timed hail? A rainy pollination month? So many possibilities. Too bad I took it so fancifully. A song about a rainy pollination month would be pretty important, culturally.
