garranOkay! Emboldened some by the overwhelmingly supportive response last time, I won't lock this one.
Missed is a rather older song than the last; I wrote it over three days in early 2002*, and I actually even recorded it once before, sometime that year, for Rachel. I no longer even have that file (though I'll bet she does), but I trust that this one shows at least some small improvement. (I'm pretty happy with it; the only really prominent flaw is a hesitation in the last verse, and the few bars thereafter stained with the resulting nervousness. Oh, and I manage at the end to sing 'thit's' instead of 'that's', but that's a pretty minor thing.)
For those who aren't familiar with the song, my explanation of the (perhaps over-) simplicity of the lyric is that I was going for early Beatles. The deepish guitar solo will, of course, probably sound very little like what stands in for it here.
* March, I guess, because I began it in the shower in New York, and I remember that I left on that trip right as Miho fell. This is, of course, a coincidence; the song is not about Miho (sorry, J.).

Date: 2005-02-06 09:52 pm (UTC)The verses here actually sit quite comfortably in the lower part of my tenor, though at various places the song crests higher, like waves. I'm afraid you won't find me singing much deeper than this in many of my songs written to date (though there are a few). My compositions just seem to naturally tend up; perhaps I feel like there's more room for movement there.
Sheesh. I guess we really do get older, after all.
I know exactly what you mean. I tend to think of anything related to Megatokyo as being my recent life...
