Gloomy Gus continues to ponder the music he heard coming to him last night, as it fades from his memory and he gets ready for work.

It's morning, and the memory of the music that came to Gloomy Gus in the night is fading fast. What was it, now? What was it that woke him up in the middle of the night. Crikey! His short term memory ain't what it used to be.

When people say, "Thank God this year is over - it's ring in the new year," I feel like they're tempting fate...like, remember when people were all, "Thank God 2019 is over - yay, 2020"? Then there was Covid. Let's not tempt fate this time around.

I recorded this song on Christmas, and as of last night didn't really think it went with the rest o' them; but it fits nicely, nestled between song 4 and song 5. The song 6 one I'm a little ambivalent about; either I'll figure out how to use pitch correction or have another go at it. 

Here's a li'l restatement of that new theme in the last Gloomy Gus song. Actually, if you follow this, I did an initial version of a song with this melody a while back but didn't know what it was supposed to be about, and stuff. This song seems to belong here in this here album. Yeah, man. Yeah. Although I kinda like the old version of it, too. 

Gloomy Gus wakes up to...what the heck? Music comin' from he does not know where.

I wanted to do a 4th Christmas song this year, so that I'd have 4 Christmas songs. Then it makes a nice, well-rounded, square-shaped Christmas song cycle. Enjoy!

Here's Christmas Song #3, I guess you could call it. Number 3. A song about how Christmas is sort of kind of a celebration of Jesus's birthday, but not on His actual birthday.

I don't think I've ever been to a Midnight Mass before, but here's a song for one.

Just a quick little ditty to get everyone into the holiday spirits. Well, maybe not.

Poor Gloomy Gus; he sure is gloomy. He's thinking about what his epitaph will eventually say, but he can't come up with any ideas. (This is the 4th song in the Gloomy  Gus and the Forest That's About to Die album).

The first part (before the rapping comes in) is gonna be part of the sound track of the movie I'm working on. It's gonna be in 3 parts; the first part o'' the movie is already on YouTube (make sure the player thingy is on high definition if you choose to watch it). Part 2 is still in a bunch of wee, bite-sized installments that I'm eventually gonna put together just like I did for Hell Part 1 and upload onto YouTube (and maybe other places). Anyway, this is a fragment of a song I wrote in 2023; it's a song that's kind of the theme song of Hell: Part 2. Boodles the Poodle is in Hell: Part 2.Hell Part 1:https://beckyshomemadesongs.blogspot.com/2025/04/hell-part-1.htmlHell Part 2 (as it currently exists):https://beckyshomemadesongs.blogspot.com/2025/04/hell-movie-part-2.html

This is song #3 in the Gloomy Gus album. I wasn't expecting to record a song today, but I was washing dishes, and this song came to me. Well, it's more of a variation-on-a-theme-song, I guess you could call it. Jung would hate it cuz he hates polyphonies. Actually, the singing part is more call-and-response-ish, now that I'm thinking of it, so maybe Jung wouldn't hate it. But I think he'd probably hate the part at the end cuz the rapping-over-the-singing stuff has a polyphony-ish flavor to it.

This is the second song in the album with the working title, "Gloomy Gus and the Forest That's About to Die." Gloomy Gus is busy being all sad and gloomy, when he hears music coming out of (seemingly) nowhere. What is this?????????

This is an alternative version of the song I wanted to record last week but didn't cuz my voice was all janky. I'm considering starting a new little concept album. This song and another song came to me and said, "Make an album out of us!" So, I might just do it. If that's the case, this might end up being Track #1 of said new concept album. 

If you follow this music page, you've probably noticed that my voice has been deteriorating over time...basically there's a mystery something or other that's negatively impacting my health and giving my cats health issues too, and it's a bad thing. That, combined with lack o' sleep did a number on my dumb voice this week. Bleh. I think I know what the mystery something-or-other is - well, lemme take that back. I don't know what the mystery something-or-other is, but I know where it came from. And even though I got rid of the thing that contaminated the house, the badness is sticking around. Lots and lots of badness. 

This is a song from the point of view of a person with a mystery-room in her house. It relates to Jungian psychology stuff. If I'm remembering correctly, all of us have parts of ourselves that we don't accept, so we push them outta conscious awareness, and they end up in the Shadow, which is almost like this being made up of a conglomeration of parts of us that we don't accept about ourselves. I think I'm getting that right, but I might be wrong about that. Anyway, the room in the song might just signify that shadow complex. I don't know yet.

I used to like Halloween, but in recent years, it has sucked. I can't wait for November 1 to roll around.

This song is about trying to get rid of the devil and stuff.

This is another song where I took a sample from that movie I'm makin' and made it into a song using the melody that the person talking's voice forms. Yes. The title pretty much conveys what the song's about.
