On C-Trends Sean O’Daniel will be discussing what it’s like to make and record music as a smaller artist. How is it different, what are the struggles and benefits. Why do many indie projects have a distinctive “sound” to them? The main reason is many independent bands don’t hire a sound engineer and often don’t even record in a studio at all, this is called a home recording. Often these albums are called ‘Demos’ but this only applies to projects meant to showcase music and not meant to be commercially released. The list of bands who have recorded albums like this is vast, but some notable examples are Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones.

But how do you even get to the point where you can even record an album? Somewhat ironically in the internet era the most common way for a band to gain a following is by playing live shows. The internet is useful for distributing music but often is not particularly useful in popularizing that music as the sheer saturation of music makes it difficult to stand out among the crowd. If a band manages to gain traction, they often start to try to get signed to a label by sending them the demos. Now it is important to note the phrase “indie” doesn’t mean eschewing all record labels but means avoiding large ones.

All of this and more with Sean O’Daniel on C-Trends!

Lyrics:
I can't sleep the music got me goin' I'm not tryna go home tonight
It's all up to you if you're tryna come through are you gonna make a move tonight

Take me high take me over lets go far over water 
Take me high take me over just let me ride tonight

I know you ain't ever seen my type
Nothin' else feels quite right (oh no)
And I want you by my side

Take me high take me over lets go far over water 
Take me high take me over just let me ride tonight

Just wanna bring you close and turn the lights down 
come on come on cuz its the night now
if I'm gonna lose it gonna lose it with you
I cant get enough of these vibes with you

Tonight 
You're like something that I've never seen
Oh its in you're eyes
And I can feel it taking over me

I'm 
Addicted to the night
This could be my life
And I want you by my side

{Take me high take me over lets go far over water 
Take me high take me over just let me ride tonight} x2

Take me high 
Let me ride

Lyrics:

Here we are
Once Again
I let you down
It's not the end
Apologize
Now we're friends

Salted wounds
Begin to swell
The tension's there
We know it well
You want it more
I can tell

It's not up to you, it's up to me
I'll tell you how to set me free
You take me home, I'll be fine

I was numb
Through the night
Your better half
Held me tight
It felt so wrong
This wasn't right

Through a lens
My vision bleak
There's nothing more
For you and me
I'll disconnect
As I leave

It's not up to you, it's up to me
I'll tell you how to set me free
You take me home, I'll be fine

Here we are
Here we are
Here we are now
