Brandon came over around 1400 today, and I hadn't started the song yet. We talked about some ideas, and then he strummed a guitar progression he had recorded in a different song. We found the right 'BPM' for the part he was playing, and then we built 4-6 tracks of drums that might fit the style we envisioned. Brandon recorded the distorted guitar throughout the entire song, but we only ended up using it on one of the two sections. This song has a natural crescendo, and it maintains energy throughout (even though it has sections without percussive tracks). It took on many different sounds as we introduced and/or deleted drum tracks (as new instrument parts were added). We completed this song in under 3 hours (including writing and singing the vocals).
LYRICS: "Chaos is standard, but a great alibi. Spinning plates all day from a weak high-wire. Overlooking the forest for all the trees. How could we see? This train has lost it's brakes, the conductor's not in his seat, things are looking bleak."
