I like to call this a "Musical Poem", because only these melodic rhythms that came to me that Midnight in July / Could possibly describe the events that came artfully together in the Appalachian sky!
It is played entirely on drums of different kinds, with the good ol' drumset as the central driving force, and dual frame drums providing the melodic influence.
The main theme is written in 5/4 time, almost with a straight-ahead marching feel, alternating with a fluid 3/4 pattern, dwelling on sixteenth-note triplets (these are at 0:33 and 1:37).
It plenty of nice tom and snare fills, ending with paradiddles on two ride cymbals. 'Medianoche' is Spanish for 'midnight'.

This is the final cut of our 1995 EP. The silly name came about because we were so well-rehearsed (getting everything on the EP in just one take), that we had another 7 minutes left of paid, non-refundable recording time left. We did this song (yet unnamed and lyric-less, but they let me improvise a bass solo), and when we were finished, the recording engineer asked us to name it, and everyone went blank, except for Jason, who just said "plumb naked?", so we just took it because we needed to finish up and make room for the next band to record. The song became a crowd favorite (the hook's lyrics: "No policy for insanity", a morbidly self-prophetic canticle of the singer's future), and the name stuck all the way through the lifespan of Monday's Child.
By Justice Lives Not | Published 1/29/2008 | Listen here »
This one never saw airplay (too hard for the time, I guess), but it was a crowd pleaser from the word go. This was usually the next to last song with "Dissolve" as the finisher. Our writing method was very simple; one of us showed up with the idea (usually me or Jon), then the other 3 layered their own ideas upon the original theme. This way, nobody had any idea what we'd end up with, but it was always something pretty special!

This was Monday's Child's other local hit. This is more mellow, but still kinda edgy. Like "Walk Away", this was recorded in 1995 at Southern Sound studios in Knoxville, and has been played regularly on 103.5 WIMZ's "Tennessee Homegrown" show, 90.3 WUTK (The University of Tennessee's station), and the now-defunct 98.7 FM (The X) "Locals Only" show. Sometimes, I wonder what life would be like if we made it, but in the end, I thank God we didn't, because I would not have the great life I have now! We got two more we recorded during the Southern Sound sessions, and I will put them up soon.

In the nineties, I played bass in a band called Monday's Child (Jon Geoffrion - guitar; Terry Morgan - Singer; Jason Horner - drums), and this was our first studio cut back in 1995. With decent rotation on local rock stations, "Walk Away" became a pretty big local hit in Knoxville that year, and helped us to build a quite loyal following who came to hear us no matter WHAT hellhole we were booked at!

This is a mellow, yet edgy guitar duet played on 2 strats; one tuned in standard, the other tuned from B to B.
The vocals are spoken word, and they came out kind of weak (which might just be a good thing), so here's the lyrics:
Oh, no! I broke it! I broke it! It's broken!
It's broken so bad, it can't be fixed!
But I cannot bring myself to throw it away!
So, I'll just hold onto it; Useless as it may be!
What am I to do? What am I to do?
I cry as I stare at all the pieces.
How could I have been so damn careless!
Dutifully, I pick them up with loving care,
And I put them in my pocket to remind me of my loss.
Carry them around everywhere I go!
Oh, Well!
