Ok I’ve been writing some really weird and different stuff over the last few weeks, I’ve had less and less time with a guitar to hand so I’m finding alternate ways to channel my need to write something. This song is a great example what happens when I get an idea in my head and start finding very different ways to approach it and develop it.
The initial idea was recorded on an acoustic guitar and had a really relaxed but haunting feel to it, I really like it.
From that point I had some ideas of using that particular part as the intro and then bringing drums and a distorted guitar behind it for the main track. The main verse if you will would keep the 9th chord tonality and I’d add a couple of extras in there, so we’d be looking at Bm9, G9, Em9, C.
Since stepping away from a guitar over the weekend I was limited to using the software instruments and laptop keyboard with Logic/Garageband to continue writing which as you’ll hear had a unique twist to the style of the song…
I’m not sure at this point which way I’m going to further develop the song, maybe both!
