Be careful what you wish for...cuz you just might get it

Well.

I'm back.

Believe it or not.
I'm back...

So I changed up the blog quite a bit. For instance, new look, new colour, new title...New title? That's right, this blog is taking on a new purpose. Not only will you get to read about the needless and menial aspects of my life, but you also get to read about my process in writing, recording, and producing a brand new album for me and my Librarians of Truth: "Don't Forget to Smile."

Inspired, mainly, by a notebook that has recently come into my posession, I'm beginning to write an album that differs so much from previous stuff that I just HAD to change everything. My style, my writing...and my blog.

Here's where I am right now. Five songs written, three of which completely finished. I'll give a basic rundown on the whole deal, but only over time. I'm aiming for close to 15 tracks in total (yea, I'm crazy...but I just keep writing!)

That being said, there's a lot that I'm shooting for, so I'm definitely hoping to make the most kick-ass blog of life.

Here's the first song-talk...no title, and I'll only post some of the lyrics, but here it goes! Maybe you can help with the title?

So I wrote this song about a week ago with a strange tempo and sound, but I wanted something a little different. Here are some of the lyrics:

"Fall in line

Follow me

Fellow

Watchmaker

Make me sounds

Of kindling burning

Fall right through

The seventh storey

The last sin"

This is the song where the album title comes from. It's pretty sweet.

Anyway, I've been working on the progression for this song. The chorus freakin sucks right now, I mean musically. Lyrics are fine. I play the whole mandolin open then do one string at a time. LAME! 

Essentially this is an unfinished song. I should really do more work on it. It ends with "remind me / to find out / who I am."

That's all for now folks!
