Here’s the latest in the ongoing project the cognoscenti likes to call the Virtual LP. I love the cognoscenti. I just can’t let myself get too attached. You know how they are.
This tune marks the “World Wide Web” debut of Shonny Vortex, who turns in a, I’ll say it, stellar performance on backup vocals. The song’s about a true fact — 7 coats I had, 7 coats I lost. I’ve literally had and lost around 7 coats over the last stretch while My Mind Was Wandering. A maddening thought, one I could only quiet by, you know, setting it to music. Thanks for listening. May all your coats come home.

awesome, shonny shined!
someone stole my beautiful & new leather bomber jacket in 1987, from the restaurant i worked out, ‘prestons for ribs,’ in ann arbor. i’m still sad.
Thanks youse…! Tons of fun to record with Shonny. More Shonny coming soon. 🙂
Cap’n, here are the lyrics:
Seven coats I had, seven coats I lost
Because my my mind was wandering, mind was wandering
Black cat of jacket luck my path you crossed
Because my my mind was wandering, mind was wandering
Seattle purchase singing out: REI fleece I miss you
Mervyn’s makes me want to shout: Red windbreaker I’m blue
Coffee shop took a pair: I guess I just went for the door
Vegas flying through the air: Jacket must have slipped to the floor
Central theme coming back: Because my mind was wandering
Seven coats I had, seven coats I lost.

This is my first exposure to the Virtual LP, but listening back to the previous tracks–on company time–I’d say this one’s one of the best. Love the background vocals!

Crisp piano, great tune, great voices. I want lyrics, though! Another successful track. Congrats.
