👋
It’s Sunday and time for ranting about something. I notice in the past couple of weeks, though, I have been rambling on about the climate and fires and doing something (even if it’s small) to help. And there’s been nothing since the beginning of the year about music, of all things.
This is a music site, right? I should likely write about it.
(By the way, I felt so awful noting I’d been eating chicken 🐔 recently. I’ve gone back to being a vegetarian 🥗. I went through about 3 weeks there of losing my way. But I’m back now. I feel better, thanks for asking.)
Yeah, about the music…
I have been working on arrangements. I have three about ready for vocals, and I’ve started arranging another one to add to the pile. At the pace I’m going, I’ll have all six done by April (probably mid-April). I would record vocals next. Then there’s mixing, mastering… (🤔 thinking). So, the release wouldn’t be out until June. Hmm, that’s rosy. Let’s be more realistic and say July.
This is, of course, in the event that I continue to work on it and not get distracted by about anything else. Fireflies?? ❤️🔥 They’re pretty. A sunny day? ☀️ Let’s walk. The moon full? 🌕. Let’s look at it. Did you say trip? 🧳 Where’re we goin’?
I have a brain equivalent to a moth. Ever seen a moth fly? They’re kind of chaotic. When they do finally zone in on something (like a light 💡 ), they remain obsessed with it until they literally burn out trying to merge with it.
This is like my approach to songs at times. I can get obsessed and hyper-focused on it. I’m either working on them feverishly or completely ignoring the process. This is also why any release of mine can take five years to get out the door.
I AM A MOTH.
My hope is this year, I’m a happy and less obsessed moth. Oh, I’ll still be a moth. But maybe my flight pattern will be a little more direct, and I won’t be burning up by the light.💡
