Torched Laughter Studio Diary: Day 46

I’ve been rewriting the words to that last song that I meant to sing this past Saturday. Per my last entry, I really hated what I originally wrote. Thankfully, the words came kind of effortlessly last evening. Effortlessly in my world is sitting back with a stiff drink and listening to the same thing over and over again for hours. Eventually I get unhinged by the repetitiveness and the good stuff starts coming out.

The lyrics compliment the music and my current mindset quite well. I’m not a fan of revisions. They have a tendency to destroy the heart of a song. But there are always exceptions. Now this song has life to it. Unfortunately they are not done yet. I’m hoping tonight they’ll be finished. In the interim I am still singing, but for the metal songs. There’s a bit of Queen-esque vocal tracking, so each song takes a while. Trying to get as much use out of the Neumann TLM 103 microphone before it needs to be returned at the end of this month.
