Thanks Andy, this was a great prompt. Ideas tumbling out. The basic song took under 45 min but the production took much longer. I’m not so fast with the electronic sounds and I don’t yet have my process figured out. Guitar’s easy, ya just pick it up and play. This is probably not the final […]

Lyrics came in just a few minutes, then tried a few chord progressions before settling on tried and true country folk. Added some slide guitar twang, too. I’ve been away from this site for a couple of weeks – […]

Finally I’ve gotten around to participate! The topic was quite hard to understand first. I’ve come up with the song structure and recorded the basic tracks (mostly first takes) in an hour, although I admittedly got carried away adding stuff and mixing. My focus was on the music here which I’ve grown to like a lot, […]

Going back to find the real person you lost along the way before social conditioning made your life less fulfilling and happy. You don’t look like the girls on the magazine covers, you’re too short too curvy, your nose is too big, etc. You’re not talented enough or smart enough, or handsome enough, etc. You […]
