Hey. So you may have read some of the lyrics I periodically post. If so, I’m incredibly grateful. Well, I’ve finally sort of recorded one of the songs I’ve written. And I uploaded it for the world to hear. (Sort of. That’s a bit hyperbolic.)
So here’s the disclaimer: it’s not really that good. I’m not an especially great singer (although apart from the two times my voice cracks and the few notes that are rather out of my range, it actually sounds relatively decent), I mess up the lyrics a few times, and the recording is hardly professional. A friend and I recorded it in half an hour essentially. One vocal take, one (mediocre) acoustic guitar take, a GarageBand shaker, and a couple measures of lead guitar mixed in a couple times. See, kids! Anyone can be a rock star!
That said, I’d feel really happy if you listened. I think it’s a relatively solid song (though maybe not in this ghetto acoustic demo form). It’s slightly sophomoric, but not that much compared to most of the crap about breakups that comes out these days. And it’s pretty catchy…can’t be modest on that count.
This song is called “Beechwood and Dragon Heartstrings.” Lyrics and explanation are on the blog; listen on PureVolume.com. Feedback, whether positive, negative, or totally disgusted, is appreciated.
Thanks for being awesome, friends. And thanks to Stephen Six.
