Futility

Similar to last week, this one started from a little guitar bit floating around in the ideas folder. I had started something new new a couple of days ago but hit a bit of a wall because the ideas were happening but the motivation was not, so that one is on the back burner.
Funny story though; I wrote some lyrics for this song today as I was writing/recording it, which thankfully flowed a little easier than last weeks, and then recorded the vocals... then I had this strange feeling I had previously noted some lyric ideas down for the original guitar idea, so I tracked those down and found myself with two lots of lyrics. I liked parts of each lot, so I kinda Frankenstein'd them into one and rerecorded the vocals. Buuuut, in hindsight, I maybe should've just stuck with one lot or the other because each lot was a capture of word flow in the moment, and maybe I disrupted said flows. Eh, it is what it is... It's probably more obvious to me because I am aware of which bits are from what version/time.
I kinda thought this would turn out more interesting than it did, because the original idea used a dominant chord, which I rarely write with, but it feels pretty underwhelming in it's current state. I kinda ran out of steam half way through, which didn't help the end result, but stubbornness kept me going to get a somewhat finished version to upload.
Unfortunately, as I feared, I am definitely feeling pretty low in the enthusiasm/motivation/energy/focus/creativity etc lately, but I will see how I go, not giving up just yet.
