Change

This came together pretty quickly. Procrastinated on starting this one until today like I have been for like two months now, so all together maybe 4 hours of work? Figured I'd try to put some actually effort into this one though, including trying to add some vocals. Not sure how it turned out since it's hard to have objective ears on the same day the idea was thrown together. Probably not bad. I came up with two ideas I liked and did that classic maneuver where I just stick the things together with little effort on trying to craft a smooth transition.

Coming back to this song to check it out again, and noticed I didn't provide any context for the lyrics behind this song. Figured I'd share a bit more, in case I forget later. Basically, I was experiencing health issues and I needed to implement a life style change of dieting and exercising. When you're as sedentary and lazy as I am, making those kind of changes suck. I basically started depriving myself of the types of food I normally enjoyed because I couldn't trust myself with them, even in moderation. And I pretty much felt miserable at the time. But it was all worth it. Pretty basic song concept, but I kind of like that it's so simple because I guess that makes it a bit more real and relatable for people. When I write incredibly nuanced and personal lyrics I guess they're cool for interpretation but then they're really just for me, not anyone else. At least with this tune, people can understand that determination to want to change but find it difficult to do so.
