I don’t really know what I’m doing with my side-project music, but I do know that a new phase of songwriting is coming about, one that is driven by melody, since for a few months I’ve been trapped in situations where I’m trying to develop a melody to an already-established instrumental track.

“It’s You” started out as something I was singing to myself in the shower, cliche be damned. I happened to be showering while Adam, my roommate was out of the apartment, so I had the luxary of drying myself off and sitting down to record the vocals in Garageband within minutes, before the melody left my head.

The resulting insturmental part was also sung before it was written, which slowed my process a little as I had to shift keys while writing it.

Either way, the vocals on this mix are ROUGH and TOO QUIET, but otherwise, it’s a workable outline for a song that will eventually be fun to listen to.

It’s already stuck in my head, though this means little these days.

Check it out in its rough form, since there is a good chance the finished form will sound bigger, different and longer.
