The Final Pre-50/90 Song

A little mini-suite. I had my 10 songs underway for my June album in a month project and like a doofus I threw together an extra song at the last minute, and made it three songs in one. (I then added two more, because I’m dumb).

Mostly this was an excuse to add an acoustic guitar (my Takamine 12-string) and a Gibson electric (ES 335 Pro) to a project that had been 100% Stratocaster to that point.

One night recently my two step kids and I all had a really difficult time falling asleep. That lead to some anxiety among the kids who thought that the inability to sleep was a sign that there was something wrong with them. I reassured them that it happens to all of us once in a while and that they should just relax, and then I wrote a song about not being able to sleep because of nightmares. I am a lyrical hypocrite. Accept it, I have.

June Music is now as done as done can be. It’s 11:45pm on July 3rd. 50/90 officially starts in 15 minutes. I, however, will wait until morning because I am exhausted.

G’Night everyone!

The Second to Last Pre-50/90 Song

This is a June throw away. I wanted to put 8 bars of acoustic guitar on one of the June songs. When I finished I just opened a new project and threw down the first things that came to me. A vocal with some live and let live lyrics, a ton of reverb, and a ton of delay later…

we have a throw away.

For completeness sake, here’s the iOS mix.

Holy Crap That Hurt

I spent a chunk of my lunch hour playing the new 12-string. I overdubbed one rhythm guitar part onto one of the songs in progress and DAMN did my hand hurt. It was brutal. I am so ridiculously out of playing shape. Hopefully by the end of this stupid thing I’ll be in better shape to start worrying about February.
