So in one song the lyrics go "Wednesday feels so long ago. I said it three or four songs ago." But going through the catalog of songs 3 or 4 prior to that one I don't hear any references to anything like that. So I was just wondering if it was actually a reference to a previous song or just a series of words that sounded cool together so there they were?
it's a combination of very true sentiments. to quote the relevant parts, it's "hello, it's a tuesday show"..... "i said it 3 or 4 songs ago, IT'S TIME FOR THE SHOW". For a long time now i've expressed intense desire to have a very regular (preferably weekly) release of new material, such as songs/videos. I decided somewhere along the line that i gravitate toward Tuesday as the preferred release date, if and when such a release schedule could be achieved. "said it 3 or 4 songs ago" is quite an understatement actually...... i say it all the time. Not necessarily in songs, but i express this desire constantly, and perhaps i was just using 'songs' as a way to measure time. Like if you are measuring time in Jeopardy episodes, you might say it was 3 or 4 Jeopardys ago, even if the event did not actually occur on Jeopardy. Nonetheless, it wasn't just 3 or 4 songs ago, it seems like a constant desire for the past many years. Anyone who knows me is well aware of my obsession with achieving this kind of regular release schedule, and i've certainly talked about it here. In addition, when it says "it's time for the show", i do recall using that line in an improv at some point, which is posted on this site. So in a way, the line is also a reference to that improv. Which itself is probably yet another reference to my ongoing desire to present a regularly scheduled show of content. ALSO, i probably had in mind that i've used the word "Wednesday" prominently in a song, released in 2015. That's more than 3 or 4 songs ago, but in that sense it would be a hyperbolic estimate. and i'd say that reference is probably only secondary to the reference to the desire for a regular release schedule. Also, to boot, i admit i was thinking the phrase also sounded cool, while also having several different angles of metaphoric truth for me
