Well here I am again. Three months seems to be how long it takes me to get to this blog. It has been a crazy few months around the Gillice home, so I'll use that as my excuse for not updating. Between the final stages of pregnancy, a birth and recovery gone wrong, and a small man child that needs attention every waking hour, I have managed to actually get some work done on the album.
Most of what I have accomplished in recent weeks is the finishing and fixing up of lyrics. Most recently (last weekend) I have focused my efforts on getting one song completely finished. That song, "The Enemy Is Me" has been lying around for well over a year. I got the lyrics to a place where I can live with them and so I decided to just finish it off. I now have it to a near final mix. A few more day/weeks of listening and changing and it should be done.
Also, I have 2 very different versions of a song called "Take Our Chances" that I am thinking might both make the album. One will be sort of a reprise of the other but in a very different style. Whichever version I decide to put second in the track order will be called "Take Our Chances Again" since the word "again" is the actual lyric and to differentiate the two songs and because you are hearing it "again" for the second time on the album.
There is a new song that has been developed in recent months called "Never And Forever". The music is fairly cool but I'm unsure about the melody and lyrics. Right now I just want to finish songs that are near completion before working on newer stuff. I've got to finish someday, right?
