Come On
Okay, so "Come On" was another song written with Dan Patterson at Undulata. Dan and I played guitar, and we played many nights at Vespers. The kids loved it. We tried to play songs that kids would like, and we would like. Donovon's "Mellow Yellow" is a perfect example. Dylan would not fly in this environment. At any rate, from week to week, different counselors would host different Vespers. One week Dan and I were supposed to host Thursday night Vespers, and we were supposed to do something special. We decided to write a mini-rock opera. I mean, after you've written a dozen or so songs, you're ready, right?
The songs weren't really part of a theme or anything, but they were originally intended to go together. This is the song that opens up the whole thing. We wrote it pretty quickly. I think we thought we might add a bridge at some point, but I think the statute of limitations has expired on that. There was another song called "The Meaning of Life," and Dan and I were very excited about it, but it failed miserably. Maybe a little too ambitious. We tried to play this with Downpour, but they were very picky about what songs to play.
