I have so many songs in the works right now. I have to finish them. I don’t want to settle and just finish them if it doesn’t feel right, but I don’t want them to just sit there unfinished either. I think they are good ideas, so I need to get at least a couple of those finished soon.
One song, What Else Can I Do, I want to work with 49th Vibration on (April and Robbie), because I think it would fit that band, and I want it to be a collaboration, so I don’t want to just present it to them as a complete song. I really want their input.
The CCCT project (Chad, Chad, Chris) has some songs in the works as well. Chris’s song, Bad Days, was built off of a couple of riffs he had, then I wrote some lyrics/melodies, and even threw in a riff of my own, so that’s a true collaboration. That song is just about done. I am really enjoying that process. I like that he had some ideas and I worked on melodies on my own, which I don’t think I could have done right on the spot. But then we jammed on it as a band and more parts and ideas came from everyone. So that will be a true “band” composition. Love it.
I have another song, Follow Our/Your Heart, that I just love the chorus, but I’m not 100% sold on the verse melody. I started to record parts, so that’s a start, but I have to lock down the verse. I do like what I have for the verse, I’m just not sure that there’s not something better. I even have a bridge idea, so that one could be close.
I also sent a riff to Doug to see if it’s something he’s interested in jamming on. That would probably be an instrumental Jazzy Fusion type of thing. That’s fun to think about where that could go.
