TIME WILL TELL

By PeterM on September 29, 2024 12:23 am

I set out to make a hopeful song this week. I think it ended up being a mix of regret and hope combined. Like maybe someone made a difficult decision, took action, and now they are moving forward with life hopeful for the future, but without knowing if they have done the right thing. Only time will tell.

Also, I ended up breaking out of the 4 bar / 8 bar paradigm and made this song with a 5 bar pattern. It ended up making the song feel fresh (to my ears at least). Maybe it is that extra bar that makes me feel like there is some uncertainty to the feeling I get from this. Not sure, but I like the result.

It feels crazy that we're at the 3/4 mark of this awesome 52 week endeavour. I did not really think I would make it this far. I knew I wanted to, but I also know I don't always stick with stuff like this. So I'm feeling pretty pleased to have made it this far. I also know that the next three months have some heavy schedule items already, so it'll be a challenge to keep this going. But right now, I'm feeling pretty good about it!

Congrats everyone on making it this far! Can't wait to hear your stuff this week!

Cheers!

You got this. Use what you've learned the past 9 months to stick the landing.
This sounds fairly minimal. If that was not intended, perhaps a slight change in workflow can help push the final 3 months.
Go wild, fuck shit up. Time will tell.

Also, minimal as it is, it sounds real nice.

This feels super fresh!!! Damn, this is great! I had a REALLY nice time stopping what I was doing to just pay close attention here and hear the tiny little layers and sub-voices you created. This is immensely pretty!
And I totally can se what you're saying when you mention hopefulness and also maybe regret. this turned out really pretty. And yeah, these explorations outside of the more common 4 bar loop really pay off. Like I said at the top, this feels super fresh, and I think this might be one of the (many) reasons why.
Great job!!!
