went through the last filled notebook. there's lots and lots of really good ideas and half-finished songs in it. I'd completely forgotten most of them while dealing with the newest stuff.

no excuse to not be working on songs now...and no excuse for a long while.

finished a new one last night. 

the melody was giving me fits singing-wise. had to slow it down to country-ballad speed to make it manageable.

not that that's a bad thing, mind you - I just envisioned it being a fair bit faster.

[Morpheus Laughing]

^  I get that problem.

I'm not a singing person so I write lyrics that I can "think" into the melody.

I could slow the songs down but I don't want to. I could trim the lyrics but I don't want to. It might work as a "speed rap" but I don't want to.

One of the many reasons for never finishing music...

I spent some more time with it tonight and made it work perfectly by pushing the first note of said vocal melody back a full beat. worked like a charm...that took damn near an hour to figure out, lol!

I tried it at a few different tempos, and it worked equally well at every one.

If you're friends with me on FB, I posted a video of my latest song. It's about being an accordion.

thanks for listening

2:30 AM, and I get an idea of a verse to go along with a chorus I'd already had (I'd scrapped most of the previous words). 90 minutes later, I had the whole thing done...but it's only about 9:45 AM now and I've been awake for an hour. So tired.

 


...love the song, though.




update: spent 2 hours singing it over and over. thank god it's somewhat easier to sing than...well, the last several. oh, and I haven't had so much as a nap all day. i need to go the fuck to sleep!

wrote a new song over last Thursday and Friday nights. 

ever write something, and the look at the words and say, "I can't say that out loud! fuck!"?

I didn't even wanna deal with the completed song for a day and a half...but, when I finally did sit down to learn it, it just flowed out nearly perfect the first time, and that's rare for me.

There's a demo song uploaded and although I'm not to happy with the production (I did it myself). I like it generally.

The electro-acoustic guitar pisses me off immensely, but other than that, j'aime.
