writing and writing and writing...

here's an updated songlist with some title changes and new additions:

heavy
wound
my new life
act i: holding on, act ii: letting go
what i wish i could say
blue + green
the brightness
you will glow once again!
tomorrow
open your eyelids and look for the first time!

i'm also trying to do some things musically that i've never done. for one, i'm spending a TON of time on lyrics. i've never really been a lyrics writer per se, but i guess i'll try this time around :-) i am also trying to spend much more time on the percussive elements of these new songs. one more major change: NO ACOUSTIC GUITARS. that's right. this is a major challenge for me, but i think i can pull it off. stay tuned.

that's right, friends. we're up to 10 songs! my goal is to have 13 written within 2 weeks and then to begin working with everything in protools. if i can be recording guitar and vocals by Christmas, i will be a happy music man.

if you're one of my friends looking for a good music rec, check out the new frightened rabbit single "swim until you can't see land." the b-side, "fun stuff," is also phenomenal, maybe even better than the single. frightened rabbit are way way WAY too good, imho.

and if you want a movie rec, check out "fantastic mr. fox." wes anderson does not disappoint with this one.

bye.
