I thought this song was a perfect ending to my challenge, because it talks about what it has been like writing all these songs. The music video is not usually how the songwriting process goes (except 99), and I filmed it in various locations in my usual 1-2 takes per item. It is a rock song, as rock is my bread and butter

Mixing the song took longer than I thought it would, and I used a references track - monkey wrench by the Foo fighters. The song itself was inspired by a band I was only recently introduced to : Collective soul The tuning was inspired by Shine, while the melody was inspired by December. This song also has the same chord progression as a song I released a while ago called stormy sunshine

I am very happy with my vocal performance(3rd take), and the filming and editing of the video, there are a few mistakes, but as usual, given the timeframe I am happy with it. The guitar solo's filming was me trying to recreate November rain in a park near me. With more time, I would have done more colour correction, and ensuring everything was more tight - both video and audio.

One thing I experimented with today was using keyframes to adjust the vertical video, as the shots were filmed horizontally in 4k. both versions, and only the audio are linked above.

1. Create an album using my best songs from this.

2. Have a series of articles of discussing what I learnt, and could improve upon from the challenge.

3. Generally keeping the songwriting, and starting to gig and collaborate with more people

4. Build my portfolio website deshsaxena.com
