Yesterday was a bit of a haze. Staying up too late with the adrenaline of a show ends up creating a tired fog in my head. I suppose that’s what I get for having fun meeting new people. A common thing that I’ve come across in the difference in nature between most Americans and most Europeans or any other country for that matter is this: Americans tend to be very guarded. Not immediately ready to jump on a situation and trust those around them. Whereas the attitude when going out to meet people in other countries tends to be, lets live for the moment and have some fun no matter who shows up even if we don’t know them.
Such is how I think when I get it in my head to go out. If I’m not in a obligated state, I will tend to go with the flow and see what happens. Which is why I was out to 5 a.m. yesterday morning. I was having fun and it didn’t matter where I ended up. Of course I was with 90% foreigners for the evening. Which is how they roll. Hell it was so much fun I went back last night however, this time, I was on my 2nd wind and they were crashing.
Maybe I was meant to be born to another country. Who knows.
Unfortunately it left me in a bit of a haze for writing yesterday. It didn’t stop myself or the co-writer from getting the melody tweaked well. But it did hinder the lyric process for finishing the lyrics. Which is why today, I’m actually asking lots of friends a ton of questions. To help me get my brain back on track. So far it’s working. However I do need to get about the house to clean up and mow the lawn.
So I will leave you with a band that I came across some years ago. I got the CD in a bargain bin and I had heard of the name before. The Origin. They’re not on iTunes. In fact I couldn’t find them digitally anywhere. There are some copies of the CD at Amazon. Which probably means they’re probably missing out on making money in today’s market. Maybe they didn’t have enough of an audience. Could be because they were Emo before the big Emo movement. I don’t know. I’d sorta put them in that college/emo type of vibe.
I don’t know why this particular song resonated with me. But it does. Some of the lyrics are totally nonsensical. However, I think it fully represents a carefree attitude and how it can relate to life and in the specific case of the song, for falling in love.
I wonder what it is about this time of year that gets a lot of people who are single into searching for a lot of dates and for others to break up. It must be a brain thing. I don’t know.
I really like the slurring of the singers voice here. The drums have a really nice laid back feel that really snaps the tune in the rear. The acoustic guitar is a testament to a really nice recorded sound. I think it’s one of the few acoustic guitar solos that I really like. Very melodic, has a real sense of what’s it’s doing for the song. Incorporates some great guitar techniques with rakes, hammer ons, double stops. It’s kicking.
All the parts are blended well and hold the song up. It all works to create a really mellow tune to navigate out of the haze with.
Enjoy your day.
