Ragged Sail

I am quite satisfied now that I've overcome this snag in the writing of my new song. Not only can I sing it while playing a part I didn't think I could sing to, but I've eliminated all the lines in the song I was dissatisfied with. Its about 3 minutes and 30 seconds long.

I am thinking about changing the name which would change the name of the demo.
It might be The Ocean and I or Everything In Between the Ocean and I.

So the demo would be (The Ocean and I).

I hope this is the last song I write about sailing. There is just too many of them out there. But hey my goal is not being original, just to write songs. Originality hardly exists in music anyway.

I still haven't finished my recording of A Closing Parenthesis. Hopefully soon though. I guess in the mean time I could start recording the new one.

Closer Now

So I've completed lyrics, music and singing on my second song. And have played it for a few people. And gotten pretty good responses. I'm currently working on recording it. I'm almost done with that. I've got a third song in the works currently and I am about three quarters of the way done with it. So it looks like things are moving quite fast. I'm debating if after getting three songs recorded I should make my myspace. Most likely this will be the case.

A current idea I have is to make different volumes of my demos that come out periodically. I will either call it Home Still Demos or The Nest Demos and this would be Vol. 1

Probably going to have a sub title like The Nest Demos: Vol.1 (Everything In Between)
So far in my mind the final titles for the tracks, and their order will go:

1. An Open Parenthesis
2. Everything In Between
3. A Closing Parenthesis

Track 1 is my first song I made, track 2 is the one I'm writing now, track 3 is the one I'm recording now.

If I decide to put any other tracks in there, they will probably be short. Also they will obviously be in between tracks 1 and 3.

Yeah this is a bunch of mumbo jumbo but It's good to get it out of my head.
Hopefully you will be hearing my music soon.
