Knowing that I'm graduating gives me and feeling of freedom that is unlike anything I've felt in a long time. Not only will I have more time and less distractions, it feels like a huge cloud that has loomed over my head for years is vanishing. A huge burden is being lifted from my back. My main long term goal for the past (large number that I'd rather not specify) years is nearly accomplished.
So, back to the album...
I've taken an important step and gone through all the song I have at this stage, whether completed, semi-completed, or barely started...and I've come up with a working tracklist. Doing this has made this project feel more real and given me some new enthusiasm to get it completed.
Here is the tracklist I've come up with. Remember that many of these are incomplete or need major work...
- Take Our Chances
- Castles In the Sand
- This Moment
- Wherever You Go
- The Enemy Is Me
- Dear Friend
- By And By
- Take Our Chances (Again)
- Drifting Away
- So Far Gone
- [Instrumental] (needs a name)
- Comfort Me
There are a number of songs that got left off of this list either because the quality is not yet what it should be or they are just not far enough along in the completion process. There is plenty of this "B" material that hopefully will come together quickly for the next album. I've got a lot of time to make up for. Here's a few of these songs...
- The Edge Of the Known Universe
- Somewhere In Between
- Never And Forever
- Anything At All
- Save My Soul
- There's a Certain Darkness That's Gone
So there you go...
Stay tuned if you're still out there and care. There should be a lot more updates in the coming weeks. Are you excited? Well I am and that's really all that matters.
