So, yes, despite the lack of music updates, I have been working on some music. I have random working names for songs in the queue (think Blue Harvest and Return of the Jedi). The current one is Memorial Day, and whenever I listen to it, I get all excited at the potential there. But there’s something missing; it’s lacking gloss. Or, as my former professor Ron Simpson used to say, “golden bricks.”
Part of that is that the lyrics/melody is in flux. But there’s also something that’s lacking, and I don’t know what (ooh, that rhymed). It’s helped a bit that I’ve added a bass part, and am retracking the drums to tighten things up. But it’s weird that I’m just stuck (weird, that rhymed again too).
I really do need some time to just sit, write, and think.
