"Heaven (I'm Already There)" - a Country song, by me [Vanity]
Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 3/3/15 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

Posted on 03/03/2015 4:15:15 AM PST by Slings and Arrows

For the first time in my "career," I have written an unironic love song. Please don't expect me to make a habit of it.

The usual nonsense:

1. I record and publish my music under the name stage name "Hopalong Ginsberg." This is to keep away the undesired weirdos, while simultaneously attracting the desired weirdos.

2. Yeah, I know that my singing isn't exactly making Toby Keith lose sleep. (Not since he got that restraining order, anyway.) Once again, this is why I'm a songwriter and not a singer.

3. A free MP3 of "Heaven (I'm Already There)" may be downloaded by clicking here or here. Clicking here will not get you a country song. Not even close.

4.

Oh, I wish.

It’s actually the punchline to an old joke, most recently told by Lewis Grizzard, IIRC.

Thank you very much.

I’ll admit that I used Autoplay for the instruments, but it was a happy accident that they fit the song well. (The words, vocal melody, and chord progression are my own composition, of course.)
