Another song with the title of a Ray Bradbury work - in this case a collection.

I'm well aware of the fact that this song has a structure nowhere near that of current popular songs. No matter - I did it just for me. smile

October Country is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nvKmTiGk6g

I'll stick the lyric below. Just sharing....

Thanks,
Scott


October Country
© 2016 by SW Campbell

I’m driving through the orange groves, a song is in my mind
She laughed and sang it as I tapped the wheel keeping time
I never heard that song again, never sang it anyhow
Yet in October Country, it’s playing for me now

There’s migrants picking berries as dust blows over the field
My throat was parched, my lips were chapped, my mind would not be stilled
She poured for me cool water with a smile born of grace
Now in October Country, that kindness left a trace

There’s an old abandoned houseboat back in the willow trees
I battened down the hatches as she zippered her valise
She shouted verses as the hail added its refrain
Now in October Country, the skies are clear of rain

A bullet ridden billboard reminds me Jesus Lives
She offered me the sweetest kiss, one even He’d forgive
I stumbled when she wondered if I’d be born again
Now in October Country, I think nine times, maybe ten

Young girl and boy are playing, sliding down a pile of dirt
She chided me for digging, guess she thought my feelings hurt
For when I did strike water, she kissed my frown away
Now in October Country, Her ghost is still at play

The crops give way to concrete as I cross the interstate
I play her message in my mind, she teases, “Don’t be late”
Well either Father Time is sleeping or his clock’s in disrepair
For I’m in October Country but spring is in the air

I’m in October Country but spring is in the air

I haven't been here much the last few months but I had a feeling you'd post this here, just as I first saw and heard it on Facebook. Glad I did. As I mentioned before, the imagery is wonderfully cinematic all the way through. I especially like this verse...

"A bullet ridden billboard reminds me Jesus Lives
She offered me the sweetest kiss, one even He’d forgive
I stumbled when she wondered if I’d be born again
Now in October Country, I think nine times, maybe ten"

A lot of Dylan's new works have the same all verse format and it works because the imagery captures the imagination, in this case even without the video to help it along.

Can't wait to meet you in person Sunday and finally shake your hand, Scotty. That will be one of this year's highlights for me.

Hello Scott,

You need to drop in more often, this is very nicely done.
I think it's always refreshing to do something just because YOU like it.

You are slaying me -- I still have not wandered into the music video world with my December PowerDirector purchase. I need to start off with an easy one, but I sort of like doing too much (ha, ha).

Wonderful video and the lyrics are, as usual, super! That is some great story telling!!!

Terrific, Scott.

A beautiful write. Very nice recording. And a good video - I don't generally watch videos, but yours kept my attention... simple, but interesting...

Super.

Happy Birthday my friend!!

I love your storytelling, I loved your video, what do you use to make your videos, love the running picture and the still ones at the same time....

I am thrilled to see your face and hear you again, I send much love to you and your beautiful wife, I am a forever fan of your music and of the beautiful couple I was so lucky to meet.

Wonderful song friend, I always look forward to hearing your creations and am always glad when you are back to making music!!

Well, we are certainly a couple of folks who could care less
about structure and/or commercial appeal. Besides this format
is best IMO for presenting your great imagery.

We like the write, the recording and the vid adds to the feel but
takes nothing away.

Enjoyed it!

Hi Scott,

I just love this couplet:

A bullet ridden billboard reminds me Jesus Lives
She offered me the sweetest kiss, one even He’d forgive

--that's just most excellent. smile

Your recent compositions are this cool hybrid to me--the prosody and vocal phrasing and melody are kind of trad Irish in feel, but the chords get deceptive and baroque..like Rubber Soul/Revolver era Beatles, but with a definite Irish barroom feel in the lilt of the vocal melody. And it's a real nice style, and it serves this great lyric that's also a nice hybrid that reminds me of road movies and ("Girl From the North Country" era) Dylan and Steinbeck.

Just a beautiful, elegant song and a nice production/arrangement as well. smile

Mike

This is great, Scott. Your imagery brings the story to life and your chord changes keep the level of interest high throughout all 6 verses. Nicely done video as well. Thanks for sharing your art.

Scott,

I've always enjoyed your music. This one Just might be my favorite. You painted such wonderful imagery and the video brought it all to life in a big way. Your production has always impressed. Have you added Vedic skills to your resume or did you have this done professionally? Either way, you should be quit proud of this one. Great stuff!

It's become quite obvious to me through my work that attention spans are shrinking. So I often find myself writing to keep things moving. Not this time though. Yeah, sometimes you gotta do something for yourself.

Thanks, Tammy. This project is starting to grab my attention so maybe I'll pick up the pace a little. smile

The video software is called Power Director. It has a bit of a learning curve but would not be hard to learn for anyone who records their own music.

You can get started using the free version of Microsoft moviemaker though. It would allow you to use both video and stills - just not on the screen at the same time. But it would allow you to marry your musical and photographic interests.

Many thanks Mike. This is the first time I consciously considered prosody in a composition - most times it is unconscious. Originally this had a standard folk chord sequence. But I wanted something to really set apart the first two lines which separate an observation from a memory. So I played around until I found a sequence that I never used before but did what I wanted: Am, C, Ab, Bb, Eb, G. That felt really cool to me. smile

Thanks Ricki. smile

I like the chord changes too - just thought that hearing them six times might be asking too much of the listener. Honestly, I thought it likely that no one would like this. Cool to be wrong smile

Thanks, Tom.

I started in video about a year ago. Am still learning a lot, but I seem to enjoy being on the steep end of the learning curve. Figuring out how to shoot in the car without a camera operator was the big challenge for this one. grin

Hey Scott,

Enjoyed this even more hearing here on JPF. This is just one of those songs that cause you to fall into a relaxed gaze where you almost forget where you really are. It has a melancholy feel for sure, yet uplifting at the same time. I think you have demonstrated that skill with much of your songwriting--and there in lies "one" aspect of your talent and music artistry.

Melody/arrangement/production/performance -- Well done IMO.

Thanks, Eddie. Know what you mean by the gaze thing. Was playing it in the car on the drive home to check the mix. Missed a couple of turns. smile

Thanks, Dave. Thought I'd weaned myself from this kinda thing (six verses, no bridge, break or chorus) but I guess I let my guard down. Glad it had some movement to it anyway. smile

Loved it Scott. The melody was plenty interesting enough to handle just verses.
Dense recording but nice and clean. Like your strat.
In the credits you mention Santa Cruz to King City. John Stienbeck country. Were you here in California? I thought you were a Florida person.

Late again, Scott:

Enjoyed this one and admire your bravery doing the video thing. I suspect this well written song could take on a different vibe altogether with more orchestration but it works well the way you performed it. Too many good lines to credit. Enjoyed. ----Dave

a response to this gem. really nice, with a video, too! I wouldn't dismiss the mainstream appeal of this, either. if you have some Nashville contacts, pitch it to 'em. smile

Thanks Tom. Been to California many times but, yeah, I live in Florida. That's someone else's image. Thought it could sub for Florida because no mountains are evident. smile

Ha! Twenty years ago it would have been bravery, Dave. Now it's just not giving a damn. grin

Yeah, the instrumentation could have gone a different way. This is just how I happened to feel it.

Thanks smile

Thanks, Grouch. I hear you. Last time I posted a song on Soundclick it was like doing it for the first time.

No contacts in Nashville. Never made time for it... smile

Cool song and video. How much of that is inspired by Ray Bradbury? Just the title or more?

Nice video. Well done.

Thanks, Colin. One of his stories reminded me of what happens in one of the verses. Other than that and the title, no connection. But in a general sense, his imagery is a source of inspiration.

Whenever I need to get away from life for bit. all I got to do is listen to one of your songs. they are never ever disappointing. Their stories carry me away a bit and I come back to life refreshed. Now you are doing videos! Wow!

It was a beautiful story and again great melody.

Hey Scott,

Cool video. This turned-out very nice. Love the changes you used & also that very nice touch of slide in there. I think the projects that you write for yourself are the ones that always seem to surprise you.

Oh yippie a song from one of the JPF Masters - my favorite verses are the born again and the striking water - you really put some work into making that video - cheers to your camera person -- love the mystery of the song it's the type of writing you can meditate on and I enjoyed it and your presentation immensely -- Best wishes --Pete
