Front And Center
Another SongFight! title that I didn't have any inspiration for. On the last night before the deadline, I wrote and recorded a quick song about the point in the book Armadale where I was at the time. I really wanted to have drums on it, but none of the presets in the Micro BR fit well enough. I also used up all four tracks (guitar, bass, vocals, vocals) and didn't have the energy to mix some of them down just to add a track of egg shaker. I have a feeling that this song would have been better with a keyboard, but the one we have is not in tune (which I don't understand at all since it is electronic). Anyway, lyrics were made up as it was recorded, but when I was recording the verses, I was, at the same time, playing the vocal melody on the acoustic guitar, to help me sing more in tune. Overall, I don't know what to think about this song. I haven't listened to it since I mixed it. And the book "Armadale" is not all that great either.
