about

I’ve listened to pop songs hundreds of thousands of times, but I still struggle with the basic structure for some reason. It’s a lot harder to write a decent pop song than I anticipated.

So I went to a track that I consider a perfect pop song, Human League’s 1981 synthpop classic “Don’t You Want Me”, and broke it down, bar by bar.

That skeleton forms the basis of “Dogs”, which turned into something informed by, if not reminiscent of, early ‘80’s Talking Heads and George Clinton. Coincidentally, after my local community radio station played it last week, I realized that the bassline that closes the track is similar to that of Talking Heads’ “Girlfriend is Better”.

I wanted to make this a funky track and envisioned my dogs bounding around, wanting to play tug and frisbee when I get home from the days when I can’t take them to share whatever fun I was having in the mountains without them.
