Rick's Hit Parade! #1
I’ve written hundreds of songs over the past 12 years, and I don't know what to do with them! So I decided that I’m going to start posting these short clips with some hopefully clever, possibly touching commentary. Click the like button or comment! Love to hear what you think! (Also, I broke my left hand, so new songs are on hold for a month)
This is one of the first songs I completed. It felt good to play, and people seemed to like it. Back then, I would really struggle to finish a song. So who knows how long I had been working on it? I had been playing this chord progression over and over for months. I remember it feeling reminiscent of the Stones' "No Expectations". I do remember coming up with the phrase "eloquent disgrace" and being very excited about that discovery! Like many of my songs, this one started with a mood — the chords, the tone — and that mood shaped the emotional landscape. From there, the lyrics became a kind of thought experiment: what would it feel like to be a poor, drifting musician? Someone leaving quietly, without bitterness, just a soft surrender to the path they’re on. Writing lets me live in those imagined scenes and react to the world I’m creating, rather than the one I’m in. I’ve always felt a kind of romantic pull toward the idea of the “noble loser” — someone who’s aware they don’t quite fit but carries on with dignity anyway. That feeling resonates with me. I played it a lot back then, but I probably haven't played it in 10 years.
Lyrics are in the first comment.
