Wet Glass
Oh yeah, that's nice, isn't it? It also sort of displays some of the range I can have.
I miffed up a few times, and I fell off time once or twice (which irritates me when I listen to it, but there's not much I can do about that now), but the entire thing was one take. Each of the rhythm guitar tracks (each basically playing half of the chord, which was a clever little thing I came up with that actually turned out really well), and the lead guitar track were all one take. The bass may have taken more than one take. The drums and synth pads were programmed; they didn't make mistakes.
Actually, the bass may have been programmed, too. It just sits too perfectly in the mix... which is weird, because usually virtual basses clash with the drums and destroy everything below 200Hz.
GODDAMN though. That tone. I'm still blown away by it. Yeah yeah, it's my music, what am I getting so excited about? Well, I write music for me. Sometimes I want to hear a song that hasn't been written and recorded yet. That means I have to do it... so I do.
It's fantastic, though. The title is an allusion to the feeling I get listening to the piece. It's... lonely, but sort of optimistic. It's in a dark place looking at a lighter, blander one, but not quite sure if it's happy or not. I guess I can see how I would interpret it that way. Basically, imagine sitting in the backseat of a car, or a bus, or maybe just at a window in your house, and it's raining. Maybe you're afraid. You don't want to grow up. You wonder what you're doing, or where you're going... Or maybe your friends cancelled and now you have nothing to do; you're just bored. The feeling is lonely, but bemused. Something apathetic, but something that doesn't want to be apathetic. You want to be out, you want to have something, but it's just not there... and you can't think about any of it. You're distracted by the rain. It's a quiet rain, but it's a rain that has presence; you would look outside and say, "It's pouring," but the sound alone is gentle and calming. That's the image I get. Looking out from a dark window at a gray sky broken up by beads of water.
Are you feeling it yet? If I can make you feel about it the same way that I feel about it, I'll consider that my gift to you <3
