Don’t Leave It Like This
===
This song probably needs lyrics. I am not really that good at writing (or singing) lyrics but they might have gone something along the lines of:
There are moments where all I knew is you but now you’ve gone away, I scared you off, what did I do, what can I do to make up for what I don’t do for you.

Another week, another song. I need to practice for OHC400.
A few lessons learned: if I want to do well, stick with what I know. It’s good to branch out once in a while but trying to do too much new stuff (learning new instruments, doing keys I don’t know) will delay my work.
I’m starting in all software instead of using my hardware because software is faster to work with.
Structure/map:
Intro-Verse: vi V I - (A B E)
Pre-chorus: vi V vii I (A B D E)
Chorus: vii IV V I (E C D G)
Tues. May 31 20:00 - 20:49.
Wed. June 1, 20:40 - 20:50.
Thurs. June 2, 18:45 - 19:10. Working on melodies.
20:15 - 21:00.
Sat. June 4. 8:40 - 09:15.
Sun. June 5. 9:00 - 10:30. Bounced it.
Total time: 3 hours 55 minutes, which is less than the amount of time I usually spend on music (other weeks I spend more like 5-6 hours on a Weeklybeats song). Also noteworthy is that there were very few sessions of an hour or longer. I can make progress on a track in very short bursts of time (15 minutes here, 15 minutes there) but I think it overall results in lower quality than if I block off longer time periods of an hour to an hour and a half.
