Album progressing
It’s so me - I have decided on eleven songs for the album, and they’re about 2/3 recorded. However, I only have lyrics to 5. Writing lyrics is always a lot of work for me somehow.
Anyhoo, today I finished writing a song I’m probably going to call “Playing Truant”. It has a weird mandolin part and the choir of six people I mentioned in an earlier post.
At the moment it looks like I might be able to get a string quartet to play on a few songs. Needless to say, I’m EXCITED. Also, I’ll probably have a pedal steel & dobro session this week with the ever-wonderful Olli.
If anybody knows where I can get my hands on a celesta, please give me a hint! I’m still also dreaming of a Mellotron, but it might be a bit too far-fetched. I have a dogma of not using samples on this album (which, naturally, I’ve broken at least once already), only real instruments. And no, I don’t consider the Mellotron a sampler.
