I wrote this new one last night. I hate doing that. Getting up to the last minute of my deadline and squeezing one out. Hardly ever turns out the way I want. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it just falls flat. I think this one just falls flat.

Oh well.

I had a couple other tunes I was working on throughout the week, but they just weren’t going anywhere, so I dropped em by the wayside. Those type of things I just stick in a pile of unfinished business and maybe come back to it later. There’ve been a handful of songs I’ve brought back outta that pile over the last year or so, but mostly I use it to lift lines or ideas from and take them in a different direction altogether.

So that’s that for today. I still haven’t really figured out what to do in place of Replay Thursdays since I don’t have any tunes from last year to re-record (until the week of April 25). Maybe this week I’ll give that some time.

See ya.

Here’s a new tune I started writing way back on February 27. The first verse was all I jotted down and I let it sit until Friday last week, when I picked up again.

I didn’t really have any issues with the music. It’s just a straight up blues progression. One I’ve used a million times in a million other songs. Works here, fairly well, I think.

The singing fell in line easy too and after I got the first verse set to music and the way I wanted to sing it the other verses just stacked right up. I finished off the last verse last night and then lad down the cut.

It’s a decent attempt at a song, I think. There’s something in there to work on. With these type of blues tunes I sometimes feel like there’s a chorus missing or something that needs to change in the song structure to loosen it up a bit. So it’s not feeling so similar and repetitive throughout. Maybe someone else can come up with that part for me.

Maybe you?

Started writing this tune last week on Wednesday. Had a good idea for a chorus and just kinda worked on that all day. Getting the music down. Lifting some ideas from different places. Over the weekend, Friday and Saturday, I finished off the verses and cleaned it up.

Then I had to figure out how to sing it and what key to do it in.

Anyway, this one is all finished and done. Hope ya like it.
