At Least Its Something (WB52)

By spry on January 1, 2023 9:37 pm

Sat down for my last automatic writing session for the season and I felt pulled back to guitar and vocals. Threw together the lyrics in 20 minutes, banged out some chords on my guitar for an hour, fumbled around with some vocal lines for a few minutes and decided to send it on my first instincts. Then spent the next two hours trying to get my vision into the computer! Only guitar, vocals and a very simple backing drum track but plenty of duplications and panning to fill it out smile


The chords feel a bit jarring but somehow fitting for the feel of the lyrics. I enjoyed trying to fit a vocal line to my weird ambitious chord transitions smile



Lyrics:


Something is better than nothing
But its not as good
As getting what you want


To get a taste that leaves you wanting
At least that's something
At least its something


Is it enough to get by?
I guess so
When it doesn't reach the mark
At least we know we tried
But is it enough to get by?

It's definitely that, and it sounds nice. Happy new year.

Driven and Proper Fierce! Great way to set off the new year! Congrats on 52 weeks!

Love this as a cute end cap on the year! congrats heart

LOVE IT WHEN YOU SING

Also HELLA RELATABLE on ambitious chord progressions ruining your life when you're trying to sing coherently.

LOVE the chord changes, especially that 1/2 note "dip down" - thank you for reminding me about that, I'm going to have to use that in a future song

...in 2024 cuz I sure as heck am not writing any music in 2023 smile

SUPER enjoyed our recent chat, thanks for all of your tunes and your commitment to the squad!

heart happy new year

Very cool punk rockish vibes. You even took the time to do panned back vocals! after all year this is a little more than nothing for sure! See you soon.
