My friend Alan Vawdrey composed this little masterpiece recently. The song is called Edward Blake and it's a great jig for a dark fairytale, something along the lines of Tim Burton, methinks. I wrote a song last month about a ghost unlike most that follows a similar theme, but for the uke. We must have been tapping into a similar macabre vein of music independently of each other. Our songs are even in the same key. I'm really into this creepy style of songwriting.
Here's a picture of Edward Blake with Eleanor Rigby.
I'm really digging Edward Blake. I used to sit behind Al in band class for years while he hooed on his clarinet and I tooted my trumpet. Great to hear the clarinet back in action in this song.
Check it out.
