Long Face
I don’t know why, but this is one of my favorite of my slow songs. It has simplicity and complexity in the harmony, and achieves what I wanted to in the lyrics.

Why a horse? Well, the subject of the song steps off her high one at one point, and this horse is climbing a mountain, so it’s got that going for it. I suppose at this point I should share my highly involved image selection methodology for this site. I go on flickr, I input the song title and filter by creative commons pictures (all of these pics are attributed with links back to the source page on flickr). If I don’t like what the title drags up, I pick a different line. Rinse and repeat. Because music is more fun with pictures.
Anyhow, this song is about a lot of things. The demo is somewhat rough and bear, but there’s a part of me that hears it as a prog rock anthem, just because that would be fun.
