About Nik Daum’s Almost Decent Songs
In what will no doubt be a long and complicated and dischordant process, I’m learning to sing and play instruments. Primarily, it will be the guitar, but I’m also working on piano and harmonica. My singing sucks. I live in a thin walled apartment and I don’t get to practice in an unconstrained manner. I’m not posting these because they have profound lyrics or are skilled musically, but they are a record of my progress and will improve over time. Bear with me & thanks for listening. All files are in .mp3 format.

La Muchacha Con Un Arma Mas PequeÑo
My first song sung in another language. I am no master of spanish though. This song is about a man who goes to the village market to buy onions for his mother’s grave and to make dinner. He sees a woman with a small gun and falls in love when she shoots him in the heart.
