The morning gives a new direction on
writing sometimes. A clear head can definitely achieve a higher level
of clarity on revision of the free writing from yesterday. Ideas come
through that you didn't see before. Two new songs are taking form
when I usually work on just one at a time. The capo lends a freshness
to “untitled song 2” and makes me think Bob Mould. This is
probably not surprising to those that know me well, Mould has been a
huge influence on me over the years. It's very tempting to flesh some
of these ideas out with more instrumentation even though I want to
keep this record strictly acoustic and minimal. Reverting to more of
a southern rock kinda sound “untitled song 1” comes across as a
bit more agitated and rabid than any other composition on this
record. Perhaps it's time to spill a different angle on this mellow
project. “Ships in Bottles” and “What's For Sale” remain the
most popular so far but I am willing to bet one of the new ones may
take precedence.
