practiced with band
so things are definitely shaping up the way I had hoped they would. I went over to Kosta's tonight and his lil bro wrote most of a song, and we played it and it sounded pretty good. I fixed it up and made it mroe of a "song" song... it was like 2 minutes and we stretched it out and added places for vocals and stuff, and I wrote some lyrics that i'm still working on, probably will have them done tomorrow... we sounded great too I think.
Just need to think of a good name...
A bizarro thing happened though to me while I was writing the lyrics to this song. I was writing originally about a guy who decided to commit suicide, and in doing so he set a building on fire, then went to the top of it and jumped off the roof. But while i was writing it, my friend messaged me and we were talking about her relationship problems, and I started to realize that this probably would make for a beter song... and strangely enough, was perfectly analogous to the lyrics that I had. So now i'm in the process of merging them together. The song sounds great I think... it's very catchy.
So tomorrow should be fun.. going to probably go hang out with my buddy Joe who i haven't seen in like a year, maybe jam with him for a bit, and then probably go back over to Kosta's and jam a bit there, then head over to Jana's and help her out a bit with the squier strat I gave her.
Suddently my life revolves around guitar and music... but I love it. I get such a great feeling when I listen to a good song that speaks to me..and that's what i want to do. I want to be a part of a band that does that. I think that if we stick together... and get a F'in drummer.. we can hit it big. It sounds like we'll be pretty mainstream, but different enough to really stand out. Different.... just like everyone else... hmm..
definitely tired though. Worked on that damn song for like 5 or something hours.. and it's 3am now yeesh. Thanks to Alena as well for helping me make the lyrics a little better and more saying what I want them to say.
