A New Song Is In The Works

Well to be honest that’s clickbait really as there is usually something in the works at any time though I am trying to get a little more mainstream again with this latest effort. Its nearly there, but I do need to not over spice it, which is easily done I find. So I am pausing for a moment as it may be complete I feel? We shall see. I await the arranging muse. To leave it or not to leave it…Where tis nobler not put loads of unnecessary overdubs’ but by abating make it wholesome again. Ey, there’s the rub. I shall go and review it now.
And I decided to leave it as it was. Its a song I may well revisit and revise in future I think . So here it is below. A first draft if you will.

Wrong Target

As I write this it’s been a day of rain whilst I do studio things. I feel a little cabin fever coming on to be honest after a week of doing stuff mostly on my own. Ho Hum. But there are daffodils blooming at least.

February, It Begins

Another month, amazing it’s so soon as I feel we have only just had one. A month that is.

I saw this:

This quote comes from the apocryphal writing known as the Acts of Peter:

“Unless you make what is right left, and what is left right, what is above into what is below, and what is behind into what is in front, you will not learn to know the Kingdom.”

(from Common Prayer)

Not sure what to make of that one at all. Sounds like a boss level of confusion though? But I will think about it and see where it leads.

I am trying to learn a lot of new material for 3 different acts and it is a little bit confusing, but hopefully it will help keep the brain plastic enough.

I am working on a track and experimenting a little at present so it may sound a little bit different if it works. I am using a bit more of the studios (AKA my spare music room) more modern tech in a hopefully creative way. Maybe I can fix it in the mix as they say. Its great to be able to just create when the muse strikes or even when it doesn’t.

Here is a song from this time last year for your aural delight hopefully 🙂

When There Is A New Tune…

You know what must be done. An instrumental called “Last Best Hope”
Not much hope in the news today though sadly. The news media is now pretty much a continuous horror show with no redeeming elements. Trying to ignore it has not really worked for me too well.

Ernest people with good hearts protest and march and demonstrate and the law is invoked at every level but nothing changes. We may well march to show our anger against oppressive regimes and our empathy for those that suffer but the bombs stil drop and the bullets continue to fly. What should we believe in when there is nothing left to believe in? From the old (predominately rich white) men in suits and even the young ones there is no hint of change nor would it ever seem so.

This month I have been mostly beavering away in my musical cave doing a lot of recording with a few trips out to rehearsals and not much else. The days are getting noticeably a little bit longer now though. It’s got to help a bit you would hope. I have felt a bit post viral for a week or so now, but I am not aware of picking up any bugs. Weird.
