(no subject)
Lately, I am loving music more than ever. I can spend hours just writing and playing. I am arranging my latest song almost all on piano, and I am also composing it; two things I have never done before. So Alex, I am actually writing out the vocal melody on staff paper. Great idea, huh? You might have to help me with it, though. I am pretty slow, and I have trouble writing out the rhythms of what I am singing. Anyways, I feel professional doing it this way, and it can only help me.
We recorded four songs about five months ago, and they were never finished. Actually, three of them were practically done, so I am getting those. So, that is exciting for me. I cannot even remember how they sound it has been so long. The three songs are Learn from Her Mistakes, Caught Stealing, and I am Invisible. Point of no Return was recorded, but I never got to do the vocals. However, we will be recording Learn from Her Mistakes and Point of No Return, along with two other songs, in a real studio in the future.
Tomorrow is band practice, and I cannot wait. I need to see how this song I have in my head actually sounds. It is strange, and sporatic, and technical; three things I usually do not incorporate into my songwriting. Lately, I have felt very strange and sporatic, so perhaps I have expressed myself correctly. At the last practice I was an asshole, and I apologize to the band for that. I am not going to act that way ever again. I have a knew outlook on life, or something of the sort. I just feel like we are not doing of what we are truly capable. Saw 2 comes out tomorrow as well. It has been awhile since I have seen a really good movie. Let us hope it rivals the excellence of the original Saw.
Saturday is the Halloween Show at Jama's. We are playing with good bands, and I am excited. We are going to look good. I finally bought my black dress shirt. Even though it is not tight, it fits perfectly. I should dye my hair black for the show. That would be sweet. I still have some black hairspray stuff from last Halloween. Maybe I will try that.
I really want to skip choir today, and go home to continue where I left off on my song. But, I will not. I need to be diligent, a quality that could benefit everyone. I need to talk about this new song more, because, frankly, I am obsessed with it. I am using the lyrics I posted in the last update, and the music reflects the words. The mood throughout the song changes several times, with quick transitions from ugly to beauty. My little experience with choir music has influenced me on this one. The harmonies are interesting, yet simple. I know my intervals now, so i know that there are perfect 4ths, perfect 5ths, and major 3rds. Haha. I am weird, but this is my passion.
This entry is pretty long. You might see entries of this length from now on. I have long breaks at school, and I need something to do. I might as well use this as a real Journal, so in 5 years I can look back and read interesting updates. This is most likely not interesting to you, but it is not meant to be. It is time for choir. Feel free to make grammar corrections.
