SCREAMIN' AT A WALL...

We got together today and ran through a few song changes that we wanted to make prior to heading back out to NYC this Sunday (provided there's no snow this time). Some songs and changes come easier than others. There are several instances where we have (what feel) is a great chorus or a great verse, but other parts of the song need to be re-worked in order to make the parts that are already good standout more. Its a frustrating, trial-and-error process which involves running said part in question a thousand times, trying different things each time until something sticks. If we're lucky, we settle on something we like and demo it. We'll put the song aside for a day or two and come back to it at a future rehearsal. Often times, we listen to the change we made and ask ourselves what we were thinking? **Bangs head against the wall**... Back to the drawing board! That's the absolute worst, most frustrating part about writing songs. Other times the songs seem to write themselves. Those songs are rare, but when you write something and everything seems to be falling in line, its one of the greatest feelings in the world! Eron
