I'm finding it a challenge to write lyrics and a vocal melody every day, but unless a song is specifically structured to be an instrumental the lack of vocals will create noticeable voids. Vocals are obviously the easiest focal point for a listener, so the message and the melody are critical. I've been writing as I record during this project, so some of these things are "first takes" that could be improved upon. However, if I continue experimenting with lyrics/vocals then they should improve with time like everything else, right? This song, Song022_Mazes, it the title track on the upcoming album. My mom would like this one. It's got hints of Neil Young's acoustic sound...simple guitars with character. I like the Grand Piano sound, and it's nice having a full keyboard to pound on. I'm going to follow this direction for the next week.
