Hero

tuesday evening.. whew. work for awhile today, then came home and kicked this song into shape.. and what a shape!

i really like this song.

it's kinda like postal service, but it started off with a casiotone for the painfully alone-type sound, which i really like. but once it started coming together it got catchier and poppier and the drumset got going and blah blah..

i stayed up late last night with that new keyboard from tony's house, and just started to figure it out when i wrote the solemn chords that start the song.. and then i got that tinkly descending line in my head. i kinda wanted that to be on piano, but that was a lot of work, and would've been kinda loud in the middle of the evening. sheesh. i layered a few drum machine bits, and tried to subvert the pop nature of the song with odd length phrases. didn't work. nobody was fooled.

then i came home today and played the drums.. it was harder than i would've thought. emily and i sang the vocals a few times to get it together, and the song was done.

i really like this song. it was called skeezeball, but now it's called 'Hero'. ha!

my finger is looking better, also.
