this is the very first rough draft of the song about my first day of school. I don't know why I'm so intent on sharing every step of the creative process with everyone but it's helping me get through these weirdo times.
I want this one to have a second half that's entirely instrumental cello + clarinet + piano. have to find a cellist.
Let me know what you think. I'm feeling like this is too slow. Much love!
@owen It's beautiful, but sad. Like the rest of the album. I do like the faster version a bit better as I can hold the words in my head more easily and it's not quite so despondent. Rather abrupt ending.
@B yeah not the real ending I just messed up. I'm going to record the faster version properly and see how that sounds.
@owen
Wow! It seems you have found the creative sweet spot. Songs are flowing out fast. I have listened to the whole album a few times and it really moves me. Forward!
PS I also listened on the computer instead of my phone. Huge difference in quality. Duh.
@owen I might weigh in about this latest song. I actually prefer the slower version because the sadness of the song seems more immediate than the fast version. Perhaps if you recorded it at a faster tempo the subtleties of your voice would come through more, but as of now, I vote for the slow one.
