third song: the end is in sight.

Finally finishing up the third song of... what appears to be my next album in the making(?) (fourth album of indie pop music), and it's been pretty much a b!tch.  I mean, we had some good times and some bad times, but life together has not been easy with this one.  The last few weeks have been spent agonizing over the right bass sounds (a buzzy 8-bit sounding thing turned out to be the solution), synth hook (an analog triangle beeping motif that repeats throughout the song), keyboard sound (a heavily processed wurlitzer with a stereo delay slapped onto it in lieu of piano), and other strange arrangement decisions I've had to make.  But before that, I had the writing to do, which was difficult first of all because the structure is pretty different (for me)... and second, because the lyrical content is something I was on the fence about at first.  Of course, everyone on my facebook went, "go for it! go for it!" not knowing what it was even about, and of course, I listened to them and went for it. Anyway, I'm finally getting down to the wire, and planning on heading downstairs tonight and doing some lead vocals in my fancy recording studio... aka MY CAR.  Definitely feelin' like I'm ready to be done with this song and move on to the next one.  But I'm pretty happy with what I've accomplished... hopefully the song doesn't suck when all is said and done.  You know when you're eating a huge, messy hamburger and you finally get to that point where you've gotten it "under control?"  That's where I am with this song.
