Full Moon Dirty Deeds

Liner Notes

#singersongwriter #slightly country-ish had fun with this one. I was going to do another simple one take, but I opened Ableton and looked for a simple beat to play to, and then I saw, oh wow, this one has a DOBRO.....and I was off using too many instruments and messing up the beat and the song. But hey, it was fun, can figure out a different version later!

I was looking up the tides because my husband is a commercial fisherman and he harvests razor clams to sell. It was about midnight. I wrote this fast. Might not show it to him though.....I do love the full moon but never quite went this far haha

Lyrics

Mama told me when the moon is full don’t stay out late, come on home before the bad boys in the bars begin to howl well I stayed way past late last night Mama never knew it but I did find that full moon crowd, well it sure can be fun

cause I can howl and I can ride that full moon wind a-a-all night and when the dirty deed is done I will laugh In the morning sun

I feel it in the air when it comes around when it’s full and it’s blue, hell, it’s twice as hard I skip the tequila and drink my chardonnay still I can’t seem to behave myself I feel like a beautiful bad she-wolf and the bad boys, they just know to walk away, yea,

cause I can howl and I can ride that full moon wind a-a-all night and when the dirty deed is done I will laugh In the morning sun cause I can howl and I can ride that full moon wind a-a-all night and when the dirty deed is done I will laugh In the morning sun

This has just enough of a gritty feel to really push that lyric forward. I love how the lyric isn't too on the nose. And, again, the chorus is excellent.

This is kinda in the Lucinda Williams vein that I love. The dobro is perfect!

Great integration of storytelling, melody, and song structure. The productions is superb as well.

Fun write! Turning mama's unsuspecting advice on its head makes a fun story: those bad boys had better look out indeed.

Cool that you found a patch that let you pull in those slinky dobro riffs: they set up the atmosphere perfectly.

Laugh in the face of regret: not many can do that! What's good for the wolves is good for the wicked.

sure is pretty for a blues. the verses use the same basic form as dylans things have changed and it is perfect for these reflections of a female werewolf..

I can tell you had fun. I mean, who doesn't love a full moon shewolf song?! It's giving me a cool Tom Petty vibe, I don't know how else to say it. But you create a total vibe here and the lyrics paint a clear picture.
