Thing a Week 41 - Seahorse
I was thinking about how with seahorses, the males are the ones who carry the fertilized eggs until they hatch. And then of course I started thinking of a sad seahorse, whose female had left him alone to care for the kids - AGAIN. I’m pretty sure this is not actually the way things really are for seahorses. But if it was, you know, this song would make sense.
I can’t believe we’re on Thing a Week V.

“I can’t believe we’re on Thing a Week V.”
Just wait ’til September and the Thing a Week anniversary.

The beginning sounds eerily like Pizza Day. Or is this just me?

The first few chords reminds me of a couple Green Day songs. Somehow I can’t bring myself to care, though. ^_^

I love this. Very pretty and melodic. Not as sad as I expected it to be, from your blog entry about it….

I don’t know why it took until now for me to start in on the Little Gray Books.
Everytime I hear that submarine ping, it makes me think of Pink Floyd’s Echoes. (That’s not why you guys keep referencing the echoes in the sub, is it?)
Also, I totally nailed the archetypical Spy Rock song. Yep. Nailed it.

Think A Week 5? Wow, that’s almost a year of things!

Great stuff as usual. For some reason I really love the bassline, and I know that the melody is going to follow me around for a little while. Nice work.

This I like. Those harmonies make my musical geekery circuits get tingly. And any kind of horse is a-ok in my book.

Yes, that number. The Ultimate Answer. The Level that produced Something About You. The big Four-Two.

That’s got the most divine melody imaginable. Good work, fella.

Beautiful song. After hearing it i did some wikipedia research and found some interresting facts. i wouldn’t post them here just to point out factual errors (because i think the artistic license justifies your adaptation), but i found them ironic in and of themselves:
1. Seahorse couples usually stick together.
2. neither parent cares for the young at all. They just swim off on their own immediately. That is, unless their father accidentally eats them.
