Haha, haven’t posted in awhile, but I guessed that I would be official like Intel or something and discuss my “roadmap!”

Basically, I’m just going to discuss the new songs and such that I’m working on.

In addition to writing lyrics for “Happy Riff Song,” I also had three other musical ideas that I’d like to turn into songs.
The first one is a very piano-centric piece that I’ll unofficially call “Epic Piano Song” because it’s pretty classical-sounding in a very epic, dissonant, minor kinda way. It’s in 6, and it is relatively emotional sounding and will yield a good melody. I PROMISE.
The second one is a little less piano-centric, but has a specific chordal arpeggio thing that reminds me a lot of “Summer Skin” by Death Cab for Cutie and once I listen to the song again I’ll decide if it just sounds way too similar and therefore scrap it or change it up a lot, but I think that it sounds different enough to really work.
The third one is a lyric-centric piece (i.e. not particularly fancy chords or anything, and, keep reading) that tells a story. I figured I could put a couple of stories into song. I really don’t have the time to sit down and write a short story, nor do I have as detailed ideas in my head as I would need to write one. So I write songs, and even though it’s taking me forever to come up with good lyrics for “Happy Riff Song” I can at least write wherever and whenever. But it’s actually a pretty sad-ish story, or at least it has a sad ending, sort of, but I have a couple of good lines for it. I can’t really be too specific, but yeah. To give the people, i.e. the 1.5 people who actually read this blog, something to chew on before I actually finish “Happy Riff Song,” here’s a few lines I came up with that may end up being the bridge that will turn the chords into 2/5/1/4:

In the yard with autumn leaves
I was standing right here
until the impulse said go ahead
and everything disappeared…

Words about a dream I had… anyway.

Forever Endeavor,
