Recording Day 2
Posted by Ryan | Filed under Uncategorized
Good news and bad news – the bad news is that I’m awake at 1:45, writing this post when I got approximately 19 minutes of sleep last night. The good news is that I managed to find a shower today…and we dominated our goal in the studio! If you remember correctly, I said our goal was to knock out 4-5 songs on Saturday. Not only did we do 4-5 songs, but we did 6 (minus vocals). AND I had the time to take a song to my good and extremely generous friend, Phil Keaggy. Quick recap before my eyes burn holes into my brain -
If you don’t know what those two boxes are on our homepage, then you don’t know that we got the streaming component up and running. I don’t know about you all, but watching 5-6 dudes standing around a computer, or sitting in a room by themselves waiting to play an instrument is riveting stuff. I glue myself to the screen. The best part is, is that I’m totally not kidding. You should watch us on here.
We finished tracking instruments on It’s Okay, So Cold Alone, Chicago, Wolf, Sound of Waves and More Than A Word today. Our goal for our time in Nashville was 4 songs per day. I still have to try and sing to these songs, and I understand that will take time and dignity from me.
Phil and Patty Bender stopped by with about $200 worth of groceries. They brought stuff that singers need, like Reese’s chocolate eggs and string cheese!
Quite a few people popped in and out of the studio. We were all glad to see fresh faces. However, I could not see anyone because I was shoved into a room the size and temperature of my refrigerator for 10 hours.
Tomorrow we’re hitting it hard, starting at 9:00. We’ve got 3 full band songs to do
- Stir
- Simple Man
- In Between
And the other goal is to vocalize the mess out of the aforementioned finished songs. Tara Bender is coming in tomorrow to sing on Chicago
Phil Keaggy just turned my simple sad song into a piece of sad song art
The Rundown
I’d post more photos, but I feel like the weight of my skull is going to carry it off of my neck if I don’t go to sleep right now. I promise there are more photos coming. Keep checking back. and Watch the stream!
