I’m hesitant to call two songs in two days being on a roll, but relatively speaking? I’m on a roll<\/em>!
\nAfter posting “Untitled (ACO 1)<\/a>” (download<\/a>)<\/span> last night, I went straight into recording another song I wrote right after completing the first Eponymous 4 project.
\n(Ed. note: Since the publication of this entry, “Untitled (ACO 1)” has since become “Our Best Wasn’t Enough”)<\/i><\/span>
\nIt’s called “Speechless<\/a>” (download<\/a>)<\/span>, and I wrote two drafts of lyrics, neither of which I’m particularly fond. But it seems like an appropriate title for the melody.
\nThe levels were too hot, and the hard disk skipped twice during recording. It was 1 a.m. by the time I played it back, and I figured I’d give it another shot tonight.
\nI dropped the levels a bit and got a full take. I also re-encoded “Untitled (ACO 1)” to 192kbps, which doesn’t make too much of a difference.
\nSo there. More music from me for you to enjoy. Or ignore. Whatever.
\nHere are the lyrics. Maybe they’re not that<\/i> bad, but they kind of strike me as, well, predictable:
\n“Speechless”
\nWhen the clock strikes three o’clock
\nI’ll try not to make you stir
\nI’ll just find my own way out
\nWe’ll talk later
\nSay the words to make me feel
\nThat tonight I’d be remiss
\nNever to return your calls
\nOr messages
\nA string of words
\nA mess of thoughts
\nSometimes they never meet
\nWhat I keep in
\nI can’t let out
\nAnd still I try to try
\nTo make it all make sense<\/em>
\nFeel the blood rush through your face
\nSee the moon turn into red
\nI can’t think of how I’d spend
\nNow forever
\nCome into my mind again
\nMake me wonder what I’d miss
\nIf I’d never hold you tight
\nOr felt your kiss
\nA string of words
\nA mess of thoughts
\nSometimes they never meet
\nWhat I keep in
\nI can’t let out
\nAnd still I try to try
\nTo make it all make sense<\/em><\/p>\n

\nI added a third verse last night, but there are no lyrics for them yet.
