Moody, Take One


Listen Later

I am taking on something new.  I'm writing songs for someone else to sing.  Of the hundreds of tunes I've written (I'm not bragging, only a small portion neglect to suck), I've only tried to write for another singer a couple of times.  But, this new project I am a little excited about.  So I am putting in the effort.  I have one directive from my new collaborator... she said,"moody".  So, this is "moody" take 1.  I am not sure if it is moody.  It's nice.  It's slow.  And I am sure that a lyricist could write some moody poetry on top of it.  I could (...again, not bragging.  Not necessarily good poetry.  See previous reference to songs that sucked). DOWNLOAD HERE The tune... there is so little to say technically.  I wrote a chord progression.  I played it and recorded it at a ridiculously slow tempo (70 BPM).  I then played another track of the same chord change but with very different voicings.  I stuck a rim shot loop underneath because it sounded better than the click.  I hope you like it.  It will sound even better when the pretty girl with the pretty voice sings on top of it.
