So I basically discovered a lost tape of recordings. Those are the songs I was referring to in the last blog. These songs I had pretty much no idea existed. I couldn't play any of them for you for the life of me. No knowledge of chords, lyrics, etc. I was obviously bowled over when I listened to these songs.
A sign? Perhaps. Why do these supernaturally weird things always seep their way into my lifeline.
I could have written them in my sleep for all I know. (I have been having weird dreams lately). Maybe in another time and place. Five parallel universes to the left.
In any event, this re-vamp of an album (no pun) is bringing more oxygen to my blood cells. It will either be a regular full length album. A double album (which I currently love the idea of. Tomorrow I will hate it. Then love again. etc.), or some sort of package that releases material in batches. I wouldn't call these B-sides. No. I still have those leftover from Act 1 (Note: Mogwai, Switchfoot, Thom Yorke's brother, and an alternate Dallas Green song. Just to name a few). Those are locked away in a secret lair. Perhaps to be lost at sea forever.
Thanks to those who have been following the process and emotions along the way. It's been an interesting year. And the journey continues.
