Comin' to you, one-thousand beats per minute.

I've spent the last week writing and recording some new songs, and I was getting really into it. Everytime I came up with a clever little lyric or a decent sounding riff I would get really excited and try and build on it, practice it, turn it into a song, and record it. Now I've laid down three songs on tape, plus a re recording of Means To Me (which has a stupid title), and listening back to them, they sound somewhat... Shabby. I know it's only a home recording, but ahh. Something missing perhaps? I considered adding some drums (soft machine) and maybe some keyboard, but my initial reason for doing this was as an acoustic project. I know I shouldn't let old ideas stand in the way of innovation, but I'm only turning away from the acoustics because I don't like how it's coming out. Maybe the songs are alright, I could have just overlistened to them and scrutinised them too much. I wasn't expecting them to come out sounding professional, I s'pose. I'll keep at it for a while longer and upload the best few. I enjoyed making it, but I'm not experiencing the sense of satisfaction I usually get after spending ages creating something. Hmm. You can't rush art, maybe I just need more time. Maybe I'll use this as a starting point and just record shit all year untill I end up with 10 or so songs that are actually good. Yeah. I like that. It's not like I'm doing much else this year. I WILL keep at it then. Thank you, I'm glad we had this talk.
It's really wierd that I feel better after consoling myself. I do know me better than most, I guess it makes sense. Does make me look like somewhat of a wack-job, though... Even better!
I'm jealous of Matt and Hauwa (it was great to see her after so long), all independent and what-not. I do believe that my year out was a good idea and I think it'll do me good. But MAN do I wish it was over already.
Beck is good, but what's new? The Information didn't exceed expectations, but it met them perfectly.
The titles of my Blogs have ceased to become a quote, lyric or original saying from myself relating to the content of the blog, and turned into "I'm currently listening to a song. Here is a line from this song."

And you love it.
