Yesterday and today I have focused more on creating simple progressions that easily facilitate vocal melodies. This song began with a strumming electric guitar (D-E-A...A-F#/A-B-E...with a bridge section playing minor chords). The bass guitar and drums made it sound full and complete, but I still added a string section, synth sounds (flutes, fuzz, etc), and additional cymbal swells. I had already written down about 10 lines of lyrics earlier today, so I chose a few, rearranged a few things, and started singing. There are a few vocal tracks on each (repeated) section...sometimes singing the same melody and sometimes singing in harmony).
LYRICS: "Lies wouldn't exist without the truth in place, but it's a cut-throat race. If your patience is wearing thin, then put another layer on. It's not done 'till it's done. Through the silence and sounds of your unnamed wars. Your heart bleeds for love. It's what you're waiting for."
