We Can Overwhelm

i'm gonna be late for work.. and i work both jobs today. wow.

spent a lot of time last night working on songs, but i think i got two finished.. and they're both pretty cool. plus the new one i finished two days ago, that's a pretty good run.

this one, 'We Can Overwhelm' is probably my best lyrical effort.. more buddhist crap, i suppose. but i like it. lyrics are hard.

it's got a few guitars, including an awesome noise guitar solo - it somehow saves the song from being overly 'feel-good cheesy' - i hope. i thought i would put a big epic 'november rain' solo down, but that sounded kinda awful. this is more exciting, kinda makes me sick to my stomach.
i played the drumset and a few guitars and sang a guide vocal, then redid the drums and guitars and vocals and emily did a piano part. in a way, this was the most frustrating song to work on yet. harder than it should've been, probably. emily sang a bit near the end, but we masked it with all sort of reverse reverb stuff.. like the poltergiest effect, when the little girl is in the television.

i really like the harmonic progression - all Bb's and F and Gmin and stuff.. really neat, but a bitch to figure out on guitar. apparently i need to practice more. hmph.

i gotta go to works.
