One thing I’ve learned about songwriting is that songs move at their own pace, always fighting with new ideas for the brain’s attention. Last weekend, for instance, I had a definite plan of attack for the four or five songs currently most developed. I even had note made over the course of the last few weeks. I suppose then it should have come as no surprise when, out of the blue [gray matter] comes a completely new track, a simple small track but none the less, a fierce competitor for my meager attention.

Never look a gift horse in the mouth. I was happy to get that new track recorded and fairly well mixed as well as put some much needed mixing touches on last week’s material. Where does that leave the album? Nine songs recorded with another seven awaiting vocals, plus a slew of half-baked ideas awaiting their turn at the aegis’ brain well. To them I bid a good night and a wish for patience.

You too.

P.S. The new track is Nothing Is As It Seems, enjoy.
