Another song added to the list!
Much has happened since the last newsletter. Most of it the same stuff on a different day. I'm now considering college, pursuing a degree in music to hopefully refine my craft even further. The funk from last month seems to still be in effect but I can feel the end of it coming. I've got 240 pages written in my book so I can't stop now. My artist that I thought went missing has reconnected with me so I can comission him once more for album art for this newest album, whatever it'll be called... Gonna have to figure that out soon. 3 more songs and it will be ready to group up.
This latest song is titled Hell. Its a commentary on how I feel when I fall short with the same problem over and over again. I realize there is an issue so that much shows I'm on the road to recovery, but ultimately its Jesus I need to reach that final step. Otherwise I'm just counting the days until I disappoint everyone again. I'd like to say I've improved over the two years I've been with my wifey, but I'm still not the perfect husband I want to be to match her perfectness. One day I fear that she, or Jesus, or both, give up on me. And then that truely be "hell".
I tried some new techniques with panning and reverb... I'm trying to build a 3d space. I've noticed my songs have a lot going on, and usually sounds cluttered if I don't divide it up and spread it out. This song I hope you can easily hear whats going on between the piano, the bass, the guitar, the drums, the rhythm, and the vocals. Its a little shorter than my average song, something I don't intend to make a habit of, but I hope its an enjoyable 3.5 minutes.
