today was crizazy, as the kids say. i made this for you. i hope you like it. it took me all day, just as i thought it would. i woke up kind of late and immediately started writing lyrics. i had an idea for the song and a few lines written, but i didn't know what it would sound like until i finished up the words and started writing music. i actually changed the music after i decided i wanted to do something in a dropped tuning [drop e-flat in this case, or drop d capo 1] and i think it turned out better than i'd previously done with the standard tuning.
actually, i think this song would've been done a lot sooner if i hadn't done a 'full band' version. i was planning on just doing voice and guitar, but i went back and wrote the drums/bass instead because it felt a bit empty. then i had to cut up the guitar and get it 100% on with the click, because it was a bit off. you can get away with that when it's just guitar/voice, but when you throw a quantized drum part on there, it's kind of obvious. anyway, i'm getting a lot faster at writing drums in fl studio, but when it comes to actual music stuff [usually bass] it takes me forever to figure out the notes. that's because i have to use a piano roll and i get all confused.
tomorrow i have work from 2-10, which is bad because i don't get to see christin, but good because it means i don't have to be up super early. but then i have two 8am shifts in a row. that's okay, i don't mind it actually. patty is all excited that i'm going to close with her because she likes me a lot. i like that. anyway, i'm beat tired from editing right up until the last minute tonight. i actually went out and picked up christin's prescription at 2:15am while my video was rendering, then got it uploaded right before the 3:00am cutoff time for the correct date. go me!
