i did a rough demo of a song this morning. I surprisingly like it quite a bit. i listened to it for probably 2 hours today on repeat to think of some other ideas for it… things like the drums building up in cymbals or the tamborine moving faster near the end.

im going to be home around 8:40. id like to watch some anime, read a bit, and play persona 4 before bed. i was sick for a while and now im not sick. but my back hurts terrible. im not sure why. it feels super tight like it needs to be cracked. it hurts to bend over and stretch it in any way. so i wont be going to the gym really because of that.

Anyways, i realized for music i need to just keep writing basic demo tracks in a quick way and songs with potential will just show up. i probably have 2 tracks that ive written so far that im genuinely confident in being “good” (in an amateurish way obviously), but ive also written maybe 50 tracks that i cant even stand to listen. if i had to give it a mathematical ratio for, for every 10 songs i wrote, one of them is “average”, for every 20 songs i write, one of them is “decent”, for every 30 songs, one of them is “good”, et cetera.

still, sometimes a song may seem shit and then after reworking some stuff, suddenly its very good…

the song below is very basic and i did it in about 1 hour. it is a demo so it is not finished. it is just a guitar, drums, and my voice…

i also like the length of the track. it is fairly long but surprisngly works. i am also thinking of extending the verse by 2 bars and the first chorus extending the insturmental by 1 bar which will make this +5 minutes long which is satisfying. Also the chorus vocals are 3 bars… is that weird? its unorthodox for the time signature but when i listen to it i cant even tell…
