Today is day one of getting back to working on music. I took a great big break to live my life for a while and to see what would unfold. I've decided to make my lyrics more selfish and representative of me and what I like. I will no longer allow myself to write songs about people around me unless I know that their presence is more concrete. So unless I know they are going to stay in my life, like the bad memories of my past that have stuck, you will not hear about them in my lyrics. That's enough on those matters though. Back to the music.
Their have been major changes in the way I'm creating music now. I'm using different synth sounds, and taking guitar lines back to post-punk with a dash of shoegaze. Expect industrial meets no-wave with some "Boys Don't Cry"-esque influenced lyrics. Drums still seem to be my hardest thing to mix in. I'm not a drummer, I don't know how to play drums, and I'm my own worst critic. Almost nothing sounds good to me, what does sounds to simple, and what I think would sound good I can't do/synthesize myself. I have two choices: learn to play or create good drum beats or find someone who can.
That's all I feel like typing for today.
xx,
James
