feeling much more creative than usual
a demo i started yesterday of a song i started writing half a year ago and finally continued because i thought it had something.
Just a few minutes ago i overdubbed fake female backing vocals because that's what the song's coda needs (because i'm trying to emulate a certain style)
I also tried to record another vocal but i screwed up the vocal mix so the backing vocals and the 2nd vocal are buried.
Then i recorded another female part singing a stanza, then a male part answering with another stanza, double-tracked them, panned the former to the left and the latter to the right.
The song's original meaning is no longer present that much i fear. I was going by feeling and while i'm not in a good place now, then i was nervous about several changes in life and not in a light mood. Now i'm at least occasionally in a light mood, as evidenced by the jollier feel of the revised version, dropping the original second verse in favor of a singalong (ooh la la la) and two more slightly bitter, but somehow not as dark verses. Even though the song is not about love, the most recent stanza is about love between a man and a woman, as banal as it sounds, it literally does, but i'm trying to throw in quite a lot of little bits.
Take 2 is slower and has no backing vocals yet and is intended to be the long version and contains a verse i forgot during the faster take but deemed unessential. The singalong goes on for much longer too.
