Monkey Mind

Did this one around 2001 using just my guitar, my computer and a Danelectro chorus pedal. Didn’t know much about proper EQ in those days, hence the high treble factor, but I still really like this one. Falls into my “Songs without words” category of original material, of which there is a lot of.

Authors note: There actually were lyrics written out for this by my friend and collaborator Thad Ekdahl, and is where the title comes from. That version of the song had a significantly slower beat and more of a folky tempo. While still good, I always preferred this more pop-rock oriented version of the tune. I’ll probably post the other version of “Monkey Mind” up here at some point.
