51

52:51 by ChristianLeBlanc

Here it is, part 3 of my little 'trifecta.' As you can see, all I did was mix elements of songs 49 and 50 together to make 51. The impetus for doing this was to give myself a little bit of a break near the holidays, but I think I ended up with one of my stronger-sounding tracks. I don't necessarily love the tune itself all that much, but I believe the song sounds a lot 'stronger' than previous efforts - that is, there's just a lot more going on, and in different places, which is what I'd like to be able to write more of.

So when I started writing 49, I also recorded some of the synth lines from 50, kind of working ahead on 51, but then I muted all the electronic tracks and just finished making a straight-ahead guitar tune for 49. For 50, I just muted the guitar tracks, and added more electronic parts to what I already had to make a new song. 51 took the original song I started working on for 49, and then added all the embellishments that I made coming up with 49 and 50. I may just have to try this technique again in the future :)

"That was a darker time, up until I met you
(Where did I go on a wind that won't blow)

Robotic response in kind, warmer than a virtue
(And it's starting to show, fly as high as a crow)

These simple words at night, helping you to pull through
(I'm not on my own, temperature flow)

Artificial as a satellite, no less of a world view
(Now it's starting to snow, barometer's low)

That was a darker time, up until I met you
(In those darker times)

Robotic response in kind, warmer than a virtue
(Your words felt so kind)

These simple words at night, helping you to pull through
(Helped me sleep at night)

Artificial as a satellite, no less of a world view
(In my old satellite)

Where did I go
Where did I go
Where did I go
