… working on Night Driver …

Today I attacked the song “Night Driver” again. It’s always been missing a few elements and I just haven’t had the right mindset to tackle them. I gave it a shot and it turned pretty good.

It’s an electronic/rock song that is keyboard heavy and sort of bops along a steady dynamic eventually dropping into an outro. Today, I decided to turn it up a few notches for the last section of the song … making it rock out a little more. I feel like it suits my original intention for the song this way. It’s a little more “me”. It made me feel better about my whole solo record thing.

It’s been a little rough since getting back from recording in Palouse a month ago. I haven’t tracked very much since then. I have worked on lyrics for several songs and today I started getting the lyrics and melody for the outro to “Night Driver” worked out.

It’s one of Liz’s favorites so it’s tough to go in and spruce it up … but it feels right and heck I am makin’ a rock n’ roll record aren’t I????

If I ever put a band together for this material, it will be one of those head bobbing, toe tapping tunes.

ROCK ON!

P.S. – “Night Driver” is also giving me chance to use my Guitar feedback sample too!
