This song came out of nowhere, and I put sunglasses on for the lols. I really enjoyed my use of keyboard in this song, it really gave me that 70's feeling. I was inspired by deep purple for the instrumentation, Mark Knopfler for the vocals, and I tried to make the guitar solo's tone sound like "Owner of a lonely heart" by yes. You tell me if I achieved that.
The lyrics are about a guy who falls in love with a certain film star after watching something about boats (hint, Jack Sparrow). I just thought it was funny.
This was a really fun song to write
This song really exemplifies how for I've come. When i started this challenge, I had to do multiple takes of my acoustic songs to pick the best. This song was recorded on first attempt while an a call with my sister. I just told her (kindly) to shut up for 3 minutes, and after I finished, she clapped(I think).
I enjoyed the process of writing lyrics - I did my first doodle. I like how I wrote about how people are like clay, they are moulded, but then they harden and crack.
As you can tell from the title of this article. I claimed on day 95 that I would be web3's first rockstar. I don't have that in the bag yet, but this song is proof that I am the king of rock and roll. Need I say more?
I love this song, I think I produced it well, I think it's catchy, and it does something that's rare for me - there's and actual bridge! The only issue I had was lighting, I talked about lighting in another article, and I've found since then, that It's not bright enough. I also discovered that the white balance and exposure were not locked on my camera.
This song really spoke to me, I think I really wrote from my heart with the lyrics. I enjoyed using the phrase "darkest timeline" - references my favourite show Community. I think vocal performance could be improved , and well as production, but I was going for a kind of modern rock sound, and I think I achieved that well.
The chorus of the song, I've had in my mind for I don't even know how long, I remember thinking about it on a school bus, when I lived in India - which was over 8 years ago.
I still have no idea why the lyrics "show me what you're made of" are remotely linked to love, I'm just assuming they are.
Moreover, I do not know how to write a love song - my past love songs have been meme songs about science. This one has a bit more to it, but essentially it is what I learnt about love from my cat - that it's unconditional. I was inspired by a line from the book I just read(Daisy Jones and the Six), but I changed it slightly. I don't want to go into details, because spoilers, but the lyrics I used were "Love should not be fire, it should be water that flows through you."
Finally on lighting. I record at sunset in the uk, which is a big issue as the sunset changes every day right now basically. So I closed my blinds, and added and extra light. I like how it has turned out.
