Song142_Unsure

This song needs no explanations, right? It's almost midnight and it's been a long day, so I'll just touch on some of today's highlights. (By the way, I've been starting 100% from scratch each day for the past 2-3 months). I started this one around 11am, and the first track I recorded was the distorted electric guitar (with the first strum of each chord-change started out of tune and then bent into tune). The simple (but rugged) guitar solo that you hear at the first of the song was played on the bass guitar through a series of pre-sets. (I also added a foundational bass guitar track that has some standard EQ, reverb, and compression). There are 4 electric guitars being picked during the 'Verse' sections. I hope I mixed them properly...there are a lot of notes being played there and I tried to make them all audible (through the use of EQ, panning, and individual levels). The lyrics aren't about anyone in particular...just an illustration of uncertainty.

LYRICS: "Your timing is off, but not by a mile...more like a hair, though maybe a dreadlock. Your subtle style...on a limb most your life. It's time to come down, and figure things out. Not sure what it is, but you know that you want some. Not sure who you are, just know that you're someone. Not sure if you're lost, or even need to be found. Not sure what to do, just know that the time's now. All bets are off. At least for a while. Get some fresh air, and maybe a new job. Your reckless stare reeks havoc on every one's life. It's time to slow down, and figure things out."
