TESTING, TESTING ONE…TWO…THREE.
LIGHTEN UP.
YOU’VE GOT IT EASY.
LIGHTEN UP.
YOU’VE GOT TO LIVE FOR TODAY.
LIGHTEN UP.
IT’S BUT A HEARTBEAT AWAY.
LIFE’S BUT A HEARTBEAT AWAY.
IF YOU GET THROUGH THE MADNESS OF THESE THREE LISTENS…YOU THEN REALISE THAT LIFE CAN BE TRULY MANIC, BUT ALSO RANDOMLY FATHOMABLE.
IF YOU FOCUS? THERE IS A SENSE OF REALITY WITHIN. TRULY.
SOMETIMES IT’S NICE TO GO INTO A RHYTHMIC BEAT
………..AND SIMPLY STAY THERE.
JUST START TO FINISH
PLAY THE ‘A’ CHORD, STAY IN THE GROOVE AND DON’T STRAY.
BE THE ONE TO SEIZE THE DAY.
LIVE LIFE IN IMPOSSIBLE WAYS.
SIMPLY BREATHE AND LISTEN TO YOUR HEARTBEAT.
LIKE VIBE DANCING IN THE MOST COMFORTABLE ROOM
INSIDE YOUR MIND.
I COULD BE THE ONE TO SEIZE THE DAY
LIVE MY LIFE IN IMPOSSIBLE WAYS.
Seriously though.
Nice to experiment with stuff and nonsense today. Just stayed in a groove and didn’t stray. But the reality of this today is to reflect on how to develop anything that is being recorded. This was made up today on the hoof. Sticking with the one chord base of A and repeating over and over. After finishing, immediately the thoughts of switch to E or D chords to go into another vibe was evident. Also to overlay very small parts throughout this to give a number quirky individual highlights and dynamic change. Especially instruments. Vocals can also be enhanced easily. Again, periodic interventions of lyrical one offs. Let’s see where it goes.
INSTRUMENTS ARE ALL SO FAR PLAYED BY GRAY SUMMERS….BUT NOT THE DRUMS! THEY’RE BEYOND IN ANOTHER GALAXY ALTOGETHER.
DRUMS WERE PUT ON A LOOP.
THREE PARTS PLAYED ON THE GUILD D25 DREADNOUGHT ACOUSTIC GUITAR. OVERLAYED BY PLAYING VARIOUS KEYBOARD SOUNDS. I ONLY PLAYED SINGLE NOTE TUNES ON THE KEYBOARDS. I DON’T DO, WELL ACTUALLY CAN’T PLAY, CHORDS…….
