Should Have Recorded That

It started with GarageBand just to do anything musical at all.  "And Darkness Falls" caught my eye because I haven't screwed with it in a long while and it seemed suitably dramatic.  This is not about me but everyone.  Fill in todays's disaster and we're all going to be wiped out by the Seventeen-Year Cincinnati Cicadas.

Things had changed since it was recorded so I thought it needed more bits, more beef.  We're about to be eaten by enraged cicadas and that needs some drama.  Then do it, do it, at least you can get off your dead ass for keys.  That worked and even got a track.

So go for the ring.  Push it and try another guitar track for it.  Do it, do it, do it.  Surprisingly enough, that worked and with some power.  The track wasn't recorded because I wasn't getting enough guitar beef in GarageBand and I got fed-up with pushing buttons.

So go to the looper and keep something going ... do it.

That even worked and Yevette said some time after I was belting it and the only thought was where did I get this.


The wobbles are real and if I turn my head without holding onto something I'm probably going down.   Whatever this is only affects balance and I'm mostly stable so as I keep focus directly on what I'm doing.

The energy came from nowhere and I couldn't believe the endurance.  My arms actually hurt from it (mildly) and that's a peach of a warmness.  It guts me to do it but there was more energy than in some while.  Felt kind of good, kind of beefy, and just swell to do it at all.


Too many watchers were about and that's fine when there's the simpatico but it can get toxic when there is not.  Example of toxicity was a headline today Yevette found which said some mechanism would impose a censorship on student creative fiction.  The outrage of anyone censoring anything seems to mandate a response but then there's some other and the outrages compound to make a rolling ball of toxicity which chases everyone as in Indiana Jones.


There is no toxic rolling ball in the Sanctuary and I've been there all along but people didn't believe it.   Sometimes my songs can show it and the song just now is a step toward it from a direct alternative but it's threatening insofar as darkness will fall if ...


But that got bagged and there was a bit with a little chord riff on the looper and that had some beat to it so that's what got it really pumped.  Energy makes itself somehow.  I know the scale but will see myself dancing around it like Google rips through a road map and that was complete Pablo Casals:  if I keep practicing I might actually figure out what I'm doing (hugely rough paraphrase).


Good vibe and a complete surprise to me
