This Issue's Song: Falling Asleep Over You
Blues
This song is a real yawner,
littlerally. This song can induce a serious case of the yawns on any
audience, and at the same time, keep them highly entertained. It's
light and perky, humorous, and often too close to the truth. And it's
full of my favorite chord progression 6m, 4, 1, 5, interspersed with
a spryly swaying 1, 4. And the slow bridge at the end is the real
inducer of yawns, because there's a good strong yawn in every line.
Most serious musicians I know pay attention to this one.
