is there some sort of story behind "At the Corner Store"? Maybe you simply went to the store and thought about that melody, or it was just like "Fly Around" which you said was just a melody between some chords?
on a song generation session, i just started playing a Bb bass note at a certain tempo, and then the melodic/chord riff popped into mind. sort of a dummy lyric came with it, that said "at the corner store, getting things you need for the brand new world". i made a specific note to myself NOT to use that lyric, because i was tired of all the store/retail references in my work. and i also have some more upcoming store-related material (which i like) that i'd rather not cannibalize. So the first thing on the writing session was to try to find anything alse besides the store, to put on that riff. but nothing else fit as well as the corner store. i relented and made it about the store.
