Here's an Up 2-11 original I recorded solo back in 2014.

I was living with my best friend and our gfs at the time, fresh out of an intro to audio course at ooipooi. My recording and production skills were a work-in-progress, but I gave it everything I had in order to finally capture the sound in my head… even if it’s still rough around the edges...(careful with the ear-holes folks)

The song’s intro was something I wrote in 2013, during a crossroads in my life as I debated transferring to Ball State to study music. It was a challenging period — my friends were gearing up to move away, and the distance from my girlfriend strained our relationship.

But we pulled through (for a while), and I ended up recording this track in the most DIY way possible — inside our walk-in closet. I laid down the guitar parts with my Fender Jaguar Blacktop and borrowed a bass. My old computer could barely keep up with Adobe Audition, but somehow, she made it work.

Tools:
SM58
Fender Jaguar
Schecter bass

attempted tools...Peavey acoustic from jcp ha

Lyrics:

(instrumental intro)

Hey there, we're young and scared,
Unaware that growing up
Has got us growing apart
Can't you just stay here for a while?

BUT WHAT'D YOU REALLY EXPECT FROM THE TYPE OF GUY
THAT CAN'T COMMIT, BUT YOU CAN'T SAY I DIDN'T TRY
I'VE GOTTA WONDER WHY SHE EVEN CARRIED
On and on for so long...

Now she's gone.

Don't turn your back.
Hey where ya going?
We're not done.
That's just the point your missing.
Holding on, but falling apart as we go...

YOU JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT I'M TRYING TO
OPEN YOUR BLIND EYES TO SEE MY POINT OF VIEW
I'M JUST A DUMBSTRUCK KID STARTING TO REALIZE
Mistakes are hard to undo...

It Tears Me Up
To Go at This Alone
I'm Lost and Ever So
Confused with Indecision
Giving in to Hope
That We Will Be Alright
But I See It In Your Eyes
You Won't Forgive, You Won't Forget
FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME I'm Drowning In
This Flood I Fell Into
But Who The Hell Are You
To Think You've Got It All Figured Out
 I'm Not Saying That I Do
But This Life Belongs To Me
Can't You See?
Yeah, I'm Not Deceiving
Just Believing What I Want it to be.

(musical interlude)

It Tears Me Up
To Go at This Alone
I'm Lost and Ever So
Confused with Indecision
Giving in to Hope
That We Will Be Alright
But I Can See It In Your Eyes
You Won't Forgive, You Won't Forget
FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME I'M DROWNING IN
This Flood I Fell Into
But Who The Hell Are You?
To Think You've Got It All Figured Out
Not Saying That I Do
But This Life Belongs To Me
Can't You See?
Yeah, I'm Not Deceiving
Just Believing What I Want It to BE.

What I want Ii to Be.

I'm not deceiving, just Believing what I want it to be...
