The re-recording of old songs continued this weekend. There was a slight twist on the process though. This time, the songs date back to…
The 1980’s!
Queue the horror movie music and the gallons of hairspray complete with ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbons.
One of the two songs in progress is actually the first song I ever wrote (co-wrote, actually) that was finished. I had written, or co-written riffs that were glued together and jammed on without ever getting a melody or lyrics or any kind of real structure. This particular song contains my first attempt at lyrics and melody although in the end some one else came up with a better melody. I have a GarageBand file with drums, bass, and a simple keyboard. I was going to record the vocals this morning before work, but yeah right. Maybe tomorrow. The second song is on my iPad and is just drums and bass parts for the song’s A, B, and C sections without any arrangement. Still, it’s in process.
What I should be doing is finishing some of those still unfinished ideas that are clogging up my MacBook, but no… I’m time traveling to the 80’s. You got a problem with that? You wanna make something of it?
