Rewritten Song: 53 Weeks (version 2)

Here’s the re-recorded version of the song I first wrote and recorded way back on March 7, 2011. Check out the original here. It’s not much of a departure, I guess. I’m just getting through some work tonight that I’ve been putting off for the past few weeks.

Still have a re-record of this tune to do.

And also four new songs to write from the past month of missing my weekly deadline. THIS is the week that I catch up and get back on track. (Probably that’s like someone saying, “THIS is the week I quit smoking!” or “THIS is the week that I dust off my figure skates and do that triple axel!”

It’s somewhere in between those two.
