Birchbach (Every Coffee is a Story)
Theme song from the Birchbach episode of Unpacking Coffee.
During 2002 and 2003, I curated a number of video “shows” in Portland. At first they were all at Bar of the Gods, and so I wrote a theme song (and produced a video). A bit tongue in cheek.
Somehow I talked Kandace into singing this one, and I’m glad I did. She had a cold, and hated me for making her do the vocals, which were sung directly into the laptop microphone.
Not only did this track provide us with a name for our act, but the laid-back groove gave us our second video, which is sufficiently abstract that I think it holds up pretty well.
Tried to rework a year or two later with a band, didn’t work. Too moody. This song wants to be a happy one. So smile already.
Song kept building. Rare attempt at sincerity in songwriting. Don’t hold me to it.
