The pop gem is finally complete. I coulda had it done sooner, but there are two things that I'm not very good at that stood in my way:
1. not procrastinating
2. playing the drums
Just to catch you up to speed--a little over two weeks ago, I asked my audience to give me a subject for Calvin's pop gem. All I had in mind was that it was going to be about a girl. I was going to think up a bunch of questions to try and get a picture of what I should write it about. Thankfully, Alex had a plot in mind that was complete the way it was.
- "The
girl works at the coffee shop, and the narrator nurses the idea that
the girl loves him because she is always nice to him and knows his
order, even though in his heart he realizes that it is her job to be
nice to him and know his order because that's how coffee shops get
schleps like himself to come in every day and spend that much on coffee.
The middle section could be when he encounters her at a bar or some public place and tries to strike up a conversation and she doesn't know who he is (being out of context) and even when she does, she kinda blows him off to talk to her friends. needless to say, his heart is broken
ending: he goes into the coffee shop after staying away a week and she says, I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you the other night yadda yadda and the spell is once again cast"
So whoomp here it is. It's called "Customer Service". It's in the key of A. There's a key change during the bridge. There are backup vocals. Length--3:30. Pop. Gem.
