Mirrors & Microphones/Bottomless

How do I even begin to end this? We wanted to end on a slightly epic note, hence the two part tune. A song that asks, what if you saw yourself reflected and didn't cringe? What if you allowed yourself to give your all without the fear of losing it? I think Scot and I came to this project needing to get slightly different things out of it. Scot needed an outlet to plug his RIDICULOUS talent into, a reason to keep creating. I needed to get my big white chicken feathers plucked, to leave the sidelines. We've both found ourselves to be far more capacious than we ever could have imagined. Doors are open. Lights are on. My, what a big room to have never used. We're through with wasting. All 52 songs showcased on this blog serve as a bookmark, a highlighted section of a year well spent.

The End. (Unless you count next week's song, which will be a cover of a song we wish we'd written. Stay tuned, forever.)

They're Watching Us (WORKOUT)

On May 7th, we posted the song "They're Watching Us (DANCE)" to the Week Hits blog. It was a silly little number about how aliens are captivated by the dance stylings of Earth dwellers. I guess I hadn't said all I had to say on that topic because when I heard the music to this week's song I was catapulted back to May, back to the aliens, only this time it seemed right that ghosts should take part in the voyeurism as well. I had to wear my Luv Club hat while penning this nonsense and much to the chagrin of ghosts and aliens everywhere, I fully intend to put this song on my ultimate gymnasium playlist. It should fit nicely somewhere between "Poker Face" and "Love In An Elevator" don'tcha think?  This song has the potential to become a gym anthem with it's battle cry for "Gym Memberships, Not Mother Ships!".  My muscles are confused already.  

The end is near, such an alien/ghost thing to say, but really, we've only got one song to go before we officially pass the song-a-week torch off to Kanye!

I was told this week's song would be "simple", but just look at all those lyrics!  Never trust Scot.
