day 38, "the making of....."

trying to remember rule number 6: "don't take yourself too seriously"! ha, that's a hard one. but a good one nevertheless.
feeling tired but had a very good meet with jp today. we decided on the 4 songs, plus one extra that i will do on my own with a wall of lush guitar: no, not heavy metal geetars!! that's all i'm gonna tell ya. but it's gonna be warm and luscious. can't wait.
we also have a backup song in case we move through the others and have time to spare. truth is, I have about 20 some odd songs i could record. most of them are songs written in the past few years up until the present. and some are a bit older, but they're standing the test of time so far. a little tweak here or there. sometimes it's good to step back and reassess an old song. you can see better what was missing, maybe change a word or two or add a new musical section if it warrants such. that's happened with one of the songs we'll be doing this week.

sometimes when i'm writing, i make up guitar chords, going by the sound i hear in my head. move a finger here, another one there till it's the chord i want. so, tomorrow, i have to create charts for the musicians, kind of like "musical road maps" the simplest way to put it, instead of actual written out music. mainly, it's chords and what bars they fit in. so, my work will be cut out for me on one song especially, but it will be worth it.

and now, without further adieu, i say goodnight. 2 more days till we're in the studio...yes.

love always;
