What Kind Of Love Are You Looking For
Song Fight! title. Again, not really inspiring. I didn't want to write a song about prostitutes or really anthing that someone else would think of. So, I ended up having to wait until the last day to get an idea. I ended up writing a song from the viewpoint of a dog. Originally, the idea was going to be that the dog was a shelter dog who was being put down due to old age and no one wanting him and "the kind of love" that he was looking for was for someone to say "good dog" to him. This seemed kind of sad, so the one I wrote was about a dog who has a good life and is loves hearing those magic two words "good dog", where most people struggle over those three words (I love you) in showing affection. I recorded this song in sections, live with an acoustic, finalizing the phrasing as I went, all with the same click track so it stayed in time with itself.
