materializing a vision
I wrote Rhymes With You about 3 years ago on my acoustic guitar in a park in Marin on a sunny day in late summer. At the time, I heard a bunch of different things going on in this song, but have only played it acoustically since I wrote it. Though, I did play an electric version of this song a couple of weeks ago at the Brainwash cafe, this has largely been a pure acoustic guitar + vocal song. However, all along I have heard pretty much what you’ll hear below. There are a few things I want to do to tidy up the recording, but it’s getting close. I’d love to hear your feedback. I’ll add some of my own comments to this post with what I’m thinking. What do you think?
beginning of some improvised pieces
As part of my songwriting process, I regularly improvise song structures and record the sketches within a half hour of inventing it. This piece is a little different than normal in that I wrote a few different pieces (a couple of melodies, synth background, some minimal drum tracks). I usually just do a simple acoustic track of guitar and vocal. This one came out pretty good some I’m releasing it into the wild and will beging to put more out there for ya. (I have several waiting in the wings that I’ll release over the next week or so)
I want to be able to keep this creative process going. Let me know what you think. I would love some feedback!
