Eric Strom’s Daily Song

I’ve put advertising on the website because I’m broke yet I’d like to continue writing a song every day. But I suppose that’s what I get for doing Daily Song during THE GREAT RECESSION.

So, you will all love that i put advertising on the site, and act accordingly out of that love.

YEAH I GOT THE CAPS ON LOCK DOWN

This is a very special Text me a Tune Tuesday, because the winner is my very own sister Rosemary Strom! You may remember that she also won way back on Day #36 with “Spinning.”

Rosie texted me a tune sometime last week with some new lyrics to the They Might Be Giants song called “Words are Like.” What is special about these lyrics is that we wrote them together on a family vacation years ago! That’s very “Daily Song” so Rosie winning was a no-brainer.

Please enjoy this song by playing it above or downloading it below. And remember, every Tuesday I write the Daily Song from user-submitted lyrics. So, get started early and Text me a Tune TODAY by going to ericstromsdailysong.com/textmeatune. I don’t select the winning lyrics until the day I write the song (every Tuesday). But since I accept lyrics anytime, people who Text me a Tune on Wednesday or Thursday have a better chance of winning then people who wait until the weekend or the last second (Monday night).

Daily Song #239 “Words are Like” an adaptation of the song by They Might Be Giants. Lyrics by Rosemary Strom (Text me a Tune Tuesday)

words are like
a go-cart race
Thanksgiving’s grace
a face

words are like
a baseball game
a middle name
a flame

words are like
a kitchen sink
the color pink
a friendly wink
a mink

(guitar solo)

words are like
a restless sleep
a brand-new jeep
a beep

words are like
the sun’s embrace
my cousin Grace
some mace

words are like
a baseball cap
a half-mile lap
a freestyle rap
a map

words are like
a bad toe stub
a nice hot tub
a doctor’s scrubs
a cub

well, that’s what words are like
now you know

Daily Song #238 “Dream Radio Love Machine Part 10: Finale (feat. Aimee Davidson)”

Dream Radio Love Machine
we can see it clear
and it’s voice we hear

tie the cord around your waist
goodbye, doctor

strung through the living
and strung through the dead
is a golden thread
and when you pull
combine the digital and biological
and when you cut the cord that is running through
you can plug into
the Dream Radio Love Machine
send the transmission
it has been received
but what does it mean
