Ya know, admittedly I’m having a blast looking back at my older songs for the “Greatest Hits” album. Earlier today I just recorded guitar parts for an old song I wrote back in 2006 called, “Suicide Or Murder”. I recorded guitar solos and all. I’m noticing I’m really not that bad at lead guitar solos actually so I’m hoping I know what I’m doing and staying in the right key. I hope I’m using the right scales and all so I think I’m doing okay.
As far as my older songs go, I’m really liking the older acoustic rock stuff that I did and for the new songs, I wanna get my into that. The acoustic rock stuff with the dark lyrics. For my new material, I’m gonna get back into that for sure. I’ll mix it up with rock songs and mellow stuff ’cause I’m a huge fan of ballads.
I used to think that I was gonna stay away from the dark and controversial lyrics but now I’m thinking that’s not a problem at all. I’m noticing people are enjoying my dark & controversial lyrics so I should keep writing them. Tell dark stories about certain stuff. I’ll continue to write positive & family friendly songs too, though. I feel that I’m best at writing dark lyrics anyways. The darker songs get more attention than the positive ones.
Yeah so I’ve finally started the internet album that I’ve been talking about for years. I’ve waited this long ’cause I was waiting for the right recording equipment and stuff. Soon I gotta get some kind of photoshop software for my computer so I can design an album cover but I gotta do a photoshoot for the album cover, though and I will soon.
I’m pretty committed to this thing. It’s a long wait but I’ll make sure the long wait will be worth it. Trust me, y’all. I’m trying to make this album a good one.
When I do finally get this album out sometime in the future, I’m hoping to do a few radio interviews to help promote it like Crumbs Cafe maybe. I’ve always wanted to do a Crumbs Cafe interview and I’m sure the guys at Crumbs always wanted to do an interview with me so when I get this album out, that interview will be a great idea to help promote it and get it out there. I’ll have to make the album and release it first though which is gonna be a long while.
