IN DEVELOPMENT:

 

FRANKENSTEIN

 

Copyright © Rick Alan Rice (RAR) 2006

 

This one dates back to 2000.

It may be that this one has no reason to exist. It has strange, pretty changes but is slow, ponderous, and sort of loses momentum after the first chorus. I still like it because I think it is lyrically clever; self-indulgent, to be sure, a fantasy about the riot grrrl of my dreams. I sort of picture Mila Jovanovich in the role. (Hey look, it’s just a song – I can pretend any girl I want!)

There is no place for this song to go in terms of working its way into anybody’s catalogue other than my own. It tends to leave some people shaking their heads, while the odd person here or there gets on board.

This is a terrible recording, originally done on a tape-stretching Tascam 4-track tape recorder. I will re-record it at some point, but for now:

Frankenstein

 

Thanks for listening.
