More new songs to talk about today
OK, three more songs to discuss today.
The first is Monsoon Rain. I see this as a focal point of the new record, in that it’s likely to be a longer track and quite a production number. It should be mean and moody, reflecting the tension in the atmosphere before the rains break, and it will sound a bit different from a lot of the more straightforward song structures that we’ve used before.
Next up, I think we need a slower, softer track somewhere on the record to add contrast. Come To Know fits that bill, and this is quite a sad song anyway, with its closing lyric line of “As I’ve come to know, I can’t love anyone”.
The last song I’ll talk about today is a song called My Revolution. The lyrics for this have been inspired by a review of our first album, Hiya, and to keep in spirit with the title of the song the track is in 12/8 time. I think it’s important that we have some contrast with the tyranny of four (4/4 time, four bars in a phrase, four repetitions of a phrase to make a verse etc) somewhere in the new record, so this is an ideal opportunity to break ranks and do something different. It’s a song well suited to a modern rock/pop style, so our existing audience should be able to join the revolution on this occasion.
I’ve loads more songs to talk about, but this will have to wait until the holiday season. I’ll catch you then.
