So there have been a few developments since my last post. A couple of weeks ago, I came up with three separate lyric snippets. None of them have really been developed into a fully fleshed out thing I can add to a grouping, but they all show some promise. Working titles for the three … Read more
Another (strange) day, another approach on Stranger Days itself. Decided to tackle Stranger Days while I found myself with some spare time tonight. Reconstructed the first part of the bridge so it would pack more of an emotional punch hopefully. It’s now the third official draft as a result though. I’ll let this sit … Read more
Today I decided to take another stab at Stranger Days. At one point, these lyrics were tied to another thing called Our Day Will Come. When I originally conceived the idea of releasing smaller groups for each season, those lyrics tied into Stranger Days Have Come. Both had a similar pre-chorus, the same chorus … Read more
I’m living in cloud cuckoo land when it comes to lyrics these days. An update since I haven’t posted in awhile. After scrapping the seasonal release format, picking it up and ultimately scrapping it again, I’m not firmly focused on creating a grouping of 10 lyrical ideas. It has no name in general but … Read more
I’ve been tinkering with these on and off for like 13 years now. For whatever reason, you can have such a vivid idea of what you want to portray that you lack the proper words to convey it. In those cases, you end up constantly chasing after something that never feels quite right. That’s … Read more
I’m at a bit of a crossroads with the seasonal release thing. On one hand, I’m really proud of what’s been finished so far. Autumn is kind of insane and the two pieces I’ve finished for winter are my most personal about going blind. As I mentioned, this whole thing would cover that year … Read more
Today was a very productive day for many lyrics. Over the last little bit, I’ve been chipping away at some stuff that was previously shared here. It’s all part of a seasonal release idea, which is something that was actually ripped off from Weezer. There are a few differences that I’ll reveal once things … Read more
Just smoothed out the rough edges of what I already had and thought I’d share. verse I’m dreaming of foxes Been riding in an ambulance Don’t know where I’m going There’s nothing left to see It’s only my disease verse I’m dreaming of foxes Been riding in an ambulance Don’t know … Read more
Another work in progress here. It all started out with a chorus idea that had me stuck yesterday. In my head, it was more of an up tempo thing when originally written. For some reason, my mind drifted to it again during breakfast this morning and something clicked. I’ll often get random drum patterns … Read more
Another new thing here that has nothing to do with the upcoming Diurnal release on September 30. I was doing some work on the seasonal release concept this morning and just finished this. Initially in contention for autumn, it really doesn’t fit the theme I’m going for now. Still, the overall vibe and writing … Read more
