Today I am merely a man behind a desk typing on a computer, later i might pick up my guitar... i might not. We now have 5 songs completed with some vocals and some with no clue. The writing process is long and tedious and can take up to months and even years for some bands. For us, so far it's still in the months category. Each song has to fit with a chapter from a book that Riley wrote. This is a completely different writing style that most people including ourselves use. Most of the time you write a song, throw some words together and... Song! But we're trying to break the mold and make things more interesting. When you read you always have the vision of what the characters look like, the setting of the story and what it looks like to you... which is the beauty of a book over a movie. Music is like a book you listen to the music and the lyrics, the music gives you the mood and feeling and the lyrics run through your head and you relate them to your issues, good times etc. So i guess in a round about way, we're trying to make the ultimate sound track that describes the story. We're preparing to enter the preproduction stage of album, which is where we do rough recordings and review the album and decided on changes that better the album. After that point we'll proceed to the studio and polish the turd!
But both of those things are a good few months away, but our patience is wearing thin and we're ready to put new material out there. In the meantime, I'm just a man behind a desk with a guitar waiting on the write riff or chord progression to nail the story. My next song i need to write needs to be concerning and creepy to fit the story... I guess i need to quit watching the office, and Adam Sandler comedies....
Well I'm off to my principals!
don't let your meat loaf! ... or better yet don't even make it... it's gross
