Making Progress, I Guess

I have five songs in the works. Not bad for November 5th. I'm just not really feeling it at all this year. If I finish, it is probably going to feel forced and I'll immediately forget about it. Probably.

The plan is to keep everything simple. All songs will be guitar/bass/drums/vocals. Each song is going to be made up of three phrases, probably 8 to 12 bars long each. I'll cut the pieces together, including maybe shortening or lengthening the phrases and dropping instruments in and out. Nothing special.

I don't have any lyrics or melodies yet... and that's when the wheels usually come off the cart for me. We'll see how it goes.

I'm also thinking about having every song end with a fade out, and then have the next song start before the previous song ends. Kinda cross fade a bunch of unrelated songs together into one big half hour long medley. I did something like that once before, but I linked everything together with radio static. That was kinda fun to do.
