I'm still working on it, but it is the culmination of a year of work, of songwriting, of playing instruments, and learning. Lots of learning and listening went into each and every second of this album (which clocks in at just over 30 minutes -- ten songs total), and I am thrilled to add this album release to the diverse list of things I've tackled over the past few years.
This past weekend I took a break from the album work to do some "extra" songwriting, and I was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement in many ways, so I wrote a song about it. Here are the words:
"I Will Not Leave"
Hey friend, come down and stay a while
Hey friend, come down and play a while
When they say go, we'll say no
When they tell us to leave, we'll stand and scream
I will not leave
You will listen to me
Hey friends, come to see
All the things that are bothering me
Hey friends, want to know
Why I'm here to take control
When they say go, we'll say no
When they tell us to leave, we'll stand and scream
I will not leave
You will listen to me
We've all paid our dues
And we handed the power to you
Company man...it's time
It's time we get it back
When they say go, we'll say no
When they tell us to leave, we'll stand and scream
I will not leave
You will listen to me
I will not leave
You will listen to me
You can hear a rough version of this song at http://simeonpeebler.bandcamp.com
As soon as the album goes live, I'll update this blog with links and more information.
Take care,
Simeon Peebler
