I make short songs, like the ones everybody sings in the shower, I call it shower songs, those are essence songs. Songs can be just one line, other parts are decoration made to go with music, so we can just say lalala or fufufu for the other parts instead. The essence has to be strong enough, so while you sing lalala part people can meditate on the lyrics of the essence part and make their own fantasy while they hear the whole song. We can play with the same idea with existing songs. For example Yesterday of Beatles, make it "Yesterday, lalalalalalalalala, la lalalala lalala lala lala la Yesterday" so you make your own version of a yesterday. Or it also works with languages you donft understand, for example "lalalalalalalalala Emanuelle lalalalala lala.".



Titles of my shower songs are



I WANNA BUY SOME CLOTHES

DON'T CALL ME ELEPHANT

PRONTO PRONTO DOMANI COMESTAI

MY CHERRY HE TASTES LIKE SHELL

PONY WHERE ARE YOU

AHHHHHHH.

I DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH THOSE MONSTERS

I AM SO PROUD



I like to put a cappella version of my showersongs online, so people can download them and use them as they want to. I perform my songs, in different context.
