Have you ever worked on something that should be simple to complete yet somehow completion escapes you? Well, I am working on something exactly like that. I am arranging a song that I wrote about 5 years ago. I have played it so many times, that I will never get rid of it from my brain, but for some reason, now that I am arranging/recording it, I can not get it to fit into conventional music terms. I am obviously missing something. For the life of me, I can't figure it out. It has been 3 days in the studio trying to make sense of it.
I have completed 4 other songs during my quest to release a new album and none of them has given me as much trouble as this one.
I suppose I need this tough song to keep me humble. I was beginning to think I had this music stuff down! I should always remember that music is an ongoing process of learning. There will always be something new that stumps me. It's exciting yet still remarkably frustrating!
