t-day type #12

This has been in my head

For a very long time.

It is the longest

Gestating thing

I have ever made.

The guitar riff,

The melody line,

I've had since I was

20 something,

Listening to Reignwolf,

Playing guitar,

Singing songs,

With my friends.

So much has changed

In my life.

The girl I was into,

Is now with

A so-called friend.

The friends I had,

Have all moved away,

Have all moved on to other things

No time to sit around,

And play guitars,

Or sing songs.

It is just me.

Just me and this song.

This guitar riff.

This melody.

It started sincere,

But morphed into its

Present state.

Like most things do,

I suppose.

I tried to write you a love song

But it came out all sick;

To steal a phrase.

I first came up with this song

On my walk back to my dorm.

The path between

The football field,

And the big Athletic Center.

Lit by orange light

On a crisp spring night,

I took my hands out of my pocket

To record a voice memo

(That I have since lost).

In that memo was a melody

That sounds pretty similar to

The final song.

I think the guitar part came right before

Or right after.

Who knows, and really

Who cares?

I tried to record this song twice before,

It either never fit the project,

Or I wasn't good enough

To make it.

The first demo is lost to a

Corrupted Hard Drive,

That I accidentally formatted

To run the new MacOS.

This is a start,

This is a beginning.

This is something

That should speak for itself.

I wrote this here,

As some small reflections,

And a little behind the scenes look

At it.

Because I am pretty happy

With the finished art

That I also created

I will add it to the bottom of this post too
