Hrmm, I guess we all just thought somebody else would make a post last week.

A funny thing happened when we tried to finish the song we started the week before: we didn’t want to. It seemed like we could all see exactly how to finish the song, and we already weren’t happy with the end result. So we didn’t, we started something new, and I think it was a good idea because the new song has much more potential. It’s going to be a challenge, but it will hopefully end up much better than the other song was ever going to.

So, we decided to slightly deviate from our plan of action. We would write the music for the chorus first, decide on a subject or theme that suited the chorus, but then write the actual lyrics for the verses before writing the chorus. The reasoning behind this was that we need the chorus to be the memorable part of the song that really sums up the whole idea, but when we write we tend to write in a detailed form first. So by writing the verses we can get our main ideas out on paper, then take a step back and try to write the chorus based on that.

That was the theory anyway. We ended up finding a few lines in my notes that fit the chorus riff quite nicely, so we went on to write the verses based on that anyway. So it was a nice idea, but this stuff doesn’t always work out the way you plan.

So, last I’d heard we’d kind of worked out an intro, we had some lyrics for a verse and a chorus, and they’re very loosely tied together. I say ‘last I’d heard’ because I ditched the guys this weekend to get my geek on at the Armageddon Expo, while they decided to work on the song a bit more. I’ve yet to find out how they went, so maybe one of them can add a post with some updates
