Cathedral Ashes - Sagrada

Trying to get this one right... keep running out of time to get to the vocals.

that's my fear (feb 6 2023 rearrange_instrumental)

This is a track from 2011. I originally spent a chunk of time yesterday writing just with the piano and came up with the concept and melody of the "emotional animals" chorus. After I finished and had moved onto other things, I realized that the chords I'd landed on were identical (same key and everything) to that old idea (called "Madness" back in the day and included some Dark Knight Joker quote samples). I've always loved that idea, so I spent 8 hours and 41 minutes writing more lyrics, redoing the arrangement, experimenting with new parts, recording, and then mixing this version. And it's still not everything I wanted to do! I didn't get a great vocal take and there are outro lyrics. Also, the mix is very likely severely overcooked because of ear fatigue. But... progress!

I just use this to listen to what I do in my car. I’ve been making music since ~2003 and have been working on an album with my brother since 2005.
