Well I basically did another complete rewrite for this re-recording. I still really like the original, which you can listen to here for comparison, but this new one is growing on me. It’s different for sure.
Wrote this one last night. Came out in one big burst, in probably about 5 or 10 minutes. After I’d written it, though, I did go back and change the chorus. Originally I had it like this:
But when I’m with you
I get so confused
And don’t know who I am
or what to do
But after I played it through a couple times I realized that’s not exactly how I wanted to say it. I was going for something more like, you get so confused into realizing what’s right. Not, so confused that you have no idea about anything.
So, I made that fix and then recorded it. Wasn’t even really planning on writing or recording a song yesterday. Was feeling so thick with hay fever that I couldn’t barely keep my eyes open.
Here’s the re-recording of the tune I released this week, last year. This one I did in 3/4 time. Go ahead and compare it to the original by going here for a listen.
I also, as you can see, basically rewrote the whole song. There’s elements in there from the first version, but, for whatever reason, I just couldn’t simply redo the music. Had to mess around all the words too. Maybe it’s still the same idea for the song, maybe not. Probably it’s got something different in there, wouldn’t you say.
Well, here, finally, is the new song for this week. Thought I’d be able to get it up yesterday, but I couldn’t pull it together.
Anyway, I wrote this one on Monday night. It’s basically done, except for maybe a mouth harp break or two, which I didn’t put in this recording because I got the hay fever bad these days.
Hope ya enjoy.
Be sure to come back tomorrow to hear the re-recorded version of last year’s song. Gonna be a doo-zee.
