I know what you're thinking. Making 50 recordings this year was a ridiculous goal. I had to go and name the blog that and everything. Maybe 10 would have been a better goal. At this rate I'll be lucky to do 3 or 4. Of course, that'll be 2 or 3 more than I recorded last year!
So, I finally finished a song I started over 15 years ago. I wrote the lyrics, the melody, the basic chord structure and the solo during my senior year of high school. In college I added the major seventh to the chord in the verses and wrote the keyboard part. After college, when I was learning to play the guitar, I wrote the opening riff and came up with the arrangement concept. The day I finished recording, I added the extra rhythm parts and the recorder parts in the fade-out.
I actually finished recording this a couple of weeks ago, but have been hesitant to call it "finished." There are some things I'd like to change, but I've realized that if it wasn't finished until it was perfect, then it would never be finished. So, I'm calling this one done, and moving on.
