I wrote this song on the piano, added bass guitar, then added drums. The synth/sequenced keyboards give this song it's atmosphere since there are no guitars in today's song. I liked this song better before adding vocals, but it didn't seem right without any singing. I wrote the lyrics in 20-30 minutes...probably need to devote more time to the lyrical messages. Creating and layering music seems much easier than creating meaningful lyrics/vocals on a daily basis. It's not just about having something to say (which is the starting point). It's also about: choosing the right words, choosing the right phrasing, melody, harmony, timing... I understand why most bands take a year to create each album (10-12 songs). I sometimes think "A New Song Every Month" would've been a smarter idea than "A New Song Every Day," but there's no turning back now.
LYRICS: "It's nearly midnight, the last day of '09, the scene of the crime, the time of your life. 2010...living in the future. Tenacious and spry, always a party inside, dreams take flight, say goodbye to '09. 2010...living in the future. A quarter to nine, half awake, half alive, really need it tonight, but luck doesn't take sides. 2010...living in the future."
