Fruitless Risks
I started writing this song around 2:30 AM and finished at 7:30 AM this morning. It's actually a "two-parter." The second part has vocals; and I can't really record vocals right now because of my roommates and such. Actually I shouldn't be recording in general, haha. I have 200 pages of biology left to read and finals is in less than three days...But anyways, this song is an instrumental. I'm contemplating placing a choir at the end of the song; maybe they'll do "ooo's" and "ahh's" - perhaps even sing one line or something. We'll see. Majorly inspired by a conversation with a friend, a YouTube video posted on a friend's Xanga, and my fanscination with the concept of "last nights" (think Can't Hardly Wait). In my head, I pictured two people spending one more night together at a party or something. There's mad tension because one of them wants to say something, but they're both scared. So it's like - are they or aren't they? Musically, it is a different "direction," but I hope you enjoy it. I was thinking Jimmy Eat World's Clarity meets Explosions in the Sky. Oh yeah, I'm well aware of the "scratch/hiss" at around 1:20. It was caused by converting the YouTube video in to MP3 format. It'll be fixed in the "final" version (granted there is one). Hrm. Part two coming soon...

Mark! I love the idea (it sounds so romantic, haha). And the beat of your song is good, on top of that. I think I know which YouTube clip you're talking about...
It was from Friends, right?
Anyway, I like this. Can't wait to hear more :)
Yeah it's from Friends. Woot.
right on.
Dude, I love the way you introduced your song! And I agree with Maine -- I like the beat. Where do you get the inspiration to come up with the beat/melody of your music?
Like I said, I was really inspired by Jimmy Eat World/Explosions in the Sky. I wanted the guitars to sound like a really fuzzy orchestra and the ending part was to be a victory march vibe.
