It's called Shell. And I've been working at it mercilessly for about two days. So needless to say I fucking hate it. The clip you will hear is one of a drum loop, a scratch acoustic guitar and vocal track where I forget the lyrics. and two out of harmony harmonized guitar lead tracks. Which you may think sound ugly but is the only thing I can seem to do to not make this feel like an Air Supply record right now. What in the hell is wrong with me? And when at first I attempted to make a cool harmonized guitar part, I thought it would sound cool because other people who do it sound cool. When Brian Eno does it all fuzzed out on "Another Green World" it sounds badass. Especially combined with the piano. Not so much for me. It sounded like Metallica. And the whole thing has this Dorian like sound so everything I play reminds me of Carlos Santana. Metallica or Santana. I can't decide which is worse. But when Verlaine and Lloyd do it it's awesome. When Tweedy and Nels Cline do it it's awesome. I've already failed at making this song what I want it to be but I have to trudge forward I suppose and deal with what I have. This is why I decided to make the harmonies kind of 'off balance'. I'm contemplating a distorted doom/stoner rock bassline on it. Just to De-YachtRock it some more. I have more done to it as of this writing. Tomorrow I hope to be completely done and move on and wish myself better luck with the next one. Stupid time limits. *kicks ground* So anyways...here it is.
Even the nights are better.
Oh...and happy Mardi Gras, folks.
