I'm coping with heavy feelings by writing music, as I often do. So I wrote this little piano, vocal and solo cello piece today called "Better Than This". files.jantrid.net/music/NthDeg…

You have put the feelings of someone seeing the self destruction from the outside quite brilliantly...

I would like to sing this at my favorite karaoke bar, if you're willing. If you provided an accompaniment track with some kind of count-off, I have a friend who could make it into a video with lyrics, and he has access to the karaoke system at that bar so he could add the track. Now, I'm in Kansas, so there are probably many in that audience who voted for Trump. But I know there are at least a few who would want to hear this. If you don't want someone else to sing your song, that's fine.

@matt I don't mind. Singing this somewhere there are Trump supporters feels intense - might earn some ire - but that's your call. :) It might be a day or so before I get a chance to open up the project again and get you an instrumental render.

I've asked my friend Tony (the one who would be putting the track in the system for me), who almost certainly feels as we do, what he thinks about me singing it at that bar.

Tony has done political songs before. He and I even did one as a duet once or twice: "Blame the Bible" by Panzy Division youtube.com/watch?v=XiGAylyOL0…

Now that I think about it, there's another karaoke bar in town, a gay bar, where Tony can also add tracks. The song would likely be better received there. They do karaoke on Mondays.

@matt Good old fashioned demucs/other thing could work if you can't get the project open in-time.

@FreakyFwoof It can wait. I'd rather wait for Jamie to give me a clean track, with a click-track count-off if possible so I can come in on time, given the lack of intro.

@matt Could easily add it myself if needed, but only if he doesn't get to it first. Throwing a four-stick count in is easy enough.

Wow, that was fast. I truly didn't mean to rush you. Thank you.

@matt When I get around to publishing this on streaming services, it'll be on an album with the duo I have with a friend, "Electronight Alchemy". But Jamie Teh is good if you want to credit by songwriter name rather than the artist under which it will eventually be published.
