“Racing @ The Speed of Sound”
This song is totally pushed into the red. It’s super loud and the most rocking song I’ve done so far. This is the sound of me. I wrote this for me. I actually got emotional playing the solo. I think I also became Scottish while doing the backup vocals (cf. “Bandwagonesque” by Teenage Fanclub)
Wow. It’s over!
It’s been a long month. There were numerous times when I wondered what the point of this exercise is. I mean, a song a day… so what? Why not one a week?
Sometimes I need to push myself to exhaustion to have a breakthrough. This is an ideal exercise to break down my left brain so my right brain can get grooving.
Also, there have been some pesky patterns that I want to break. I want to try to expand my scope so I can approach melody and lyrics in a different way. I think I need to listen to more R&B, basically. Get some syncopation.
But the great news is that I am VERY happy with all of these crazy songs.
I wish I could be more insightful at this point but I’m beat.
Thank you to everyone who tuned in. Your support was so needed. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Special thanks to Elizabeth Blue, Lucas Kavner, Alec Duffy, Molly Lloyd, Chris Grace and especially my brother Douglas York.
