First, make sure you listen to this clip while you can because I plan on removing it in a weeks time! FYI!

Since I’ve been in such an ambitious mood for the last few weeks since finishing song 7 of  9 (Watch Me Go) for my full-length album, I cranked out the music to song 8 in almost no time.

What I love about this song is that I tried a bunch of new ideas and attemped to incorporate a multitude of styles. There were times I would listen to my riffs and think, geez, I really wished that this sounded more like so-and-so instead of what it really is.

However, I’ve come to be proud of some of the subtle tweaks that I put to the typical post-hardcore/rock/metal/punk/whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-stick-in-there genre because that’s what it’s all about right? Make something appealing that traditional listeners of the genre can identify with, but twist it into your own personal creation.

This sound clip that I have for you to listen to isn’t anything stupendous, but I at least wanted to give you a little taste of my next tune without handing over the whole pie. The section I have for you is the third verse and most of the bridge.

I’ve written out all the lyrics to this piece as well and I’ve decided that the topic is sort of “Life Commiseration“. Heck, that sounds like a pretty sweet song title too.

But the message of the song is this:

Everybody struggles with major problems and simple day-to-day obstacles, but there should be comfort in knowing that this applies to everyone. And if one person can survive, then we all can.

Now, if whether or not I can actually convey that message in this song successfully… well that’s another story.

Go ahead and leave a comment to tell me what you think of either my song concept or music clip. And keep checking back because I hope to continue providing more consistent updates and sneak peeks at my music as things unfold.
