Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time where we are thankful for the things we have in life. Right? Well, yes, I suppose you can eat until your stuffed silly too, but I am thankful for so many things- especially now, being a little older and a little smarter.
I have to say that this last recording project is just about killing me. I have never spent so much time and effort into recording. I have made sure that every aspect of this song is almost perfect!
I had a lot of trouble with this last song. I usually keep my cans on my head (my headphones) while recording vocals. I have found that my pitch is much more accurate when I take them off and listen in on one ear while I sing. This is a first for Intuitions! :) I have always recorded with them on. I had to go out and buy a new pair- I'm on a budget, but I had to go with Sony. I may return them, they are not very good. $20 cans... eh.. what can I expect?
Well, I am finishing up this song- hell or high waters. I have to. It's SO much work producing your own material, but I know that it will sound the way I want it when it's all said and done.
So, I hope everyone will have a great Thanksgiving. Tonight, I was driving back home from working out and I thought- you know- life is strange- we are all here- then we are gone. I've had 2 brothers die. A friend just passed away not too long ago... and the older I get- the more I see of death- it scares me- sort of. We are here- yet- sometimes we don't want to be... but if our precious life is threatened or taken away- we fight to live.
It brings me to a story when I was working... I met a lady (always meeting a lady lol) and her mother passed away- she was very sad about it- I could tell- she really missed her mom. I was thinking about this tonight- because I've celebrated so many Thanksgivings with my mom- years and years- We had houses full of people years ago- I remember sort of dreading it. But now, I really wish I had that- most of my family is dead, gone or I'm glad they are not around. (you get my drift). As I was saying- houses full of people and now just me and my mom. So, this thanksgiving is my giving thanks to my Mom this year. We have the biggest turkey and food on the table.
In the midst of all the work I am going through and the stress- Everything is holding up... and we're moving on... Somehow.
