Waiting For Me

whew.. i'm kinda tired, as i stayed up late last night making this little gem after we got home from the new mex revolution practice. it's kinda neat, because i worked around a few small limitations and tried some new things.. for example, i was trying to tune the guitar into an open A major chord.. and snapped a string right away. damn. and i wanted to use some loops and such, but protools by itself isnt much of a loop station.. so i had to be careful and create these loops and sync 'em up with click tracks and such.. kinda silly. and the hand claps, i only had a single clap to work with, so i built up the entire rhythm one clap at a time.. that was inefficient, to say the least.

i should find a cheap drum machine. or maybe a sampler.. that'd be cool.

oh well.. i like the final product, and it gave me another chance to play harmonica.. i'm not so good at it, but i figure it's because i don't play it enough. counting this time, i've probably played it twenty times or so. i should be getting a little better, right?

the lyrics are pretty much about me and emily.. except that whole marriage thing! and she doesn't really sit around at home waiting for me.
