Given the context of the faltering world we live in, it's easy to get caught up in the war called (culture war). I find it funny that a lot of us get so wrapped up in what so many people, we will never meet, do not live in the same world as us, nor understand the grind we all go through day to day, say and do and preach. A lot of us seem to listen to this garbage and then act upon it as if trying to be like these people. I have news for all of you that do this... You are living a lie, not only to yourselves, but to others and if it is not recognized and eradicated soon, our tomorrow will truly be today. I beg you all to stop being chess pieces in this game that only favors the players of the game!!! 

This song is a reflection of my anger to all of this.

Lyrics:
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Talk to me about loss
I'm all ears
I'm up to them in tears
Everything can change
In the blinking of an eye
I don't know how to say 
Good-bye

Yesterday 
She looked at me the way
That made me feel known 
But today she's gone
Now I sit alone
Stricken to the bone
Lord knows I don't know
How to move on

Morning, full of life
Noon, half paralyzed
Evening, all the light 
Had drained out of her eyes
I held her until morning 
Then she died

Then I picked up the phone 
To ask you why

The song journey:

It's an absurd, short ditty, but significant to me for the progress it represents in advancing my production skills.

As one approaches 60, one starts to think about death, trying to become accustomed to the idea as an inevitability. To muster up one's courage against an unknown future. I guess I have been stuck in that phase for a while, turning the idea over in song after song.

Here, the main character's wife dies in his arms and he dials the phone to ask the famous author for help. It is 2 minutes long to dramatize the swift passage of time.

In the tradition of the Everly Brothers' Bye Bye Love, this is a happy song with sad words. The stupendously brilliant Jacob Collier suggests such pairings ironically amplify the emotion of a work. 

A podcaster on death and dying had a call out for unusual music that "would not be played at a funeral", upon which I immediately wrote this, thinking it rather silly. I had a gig writing blog articles for a mental health agency, so EKR's 5 stages of grief had been on my mind. The idea was absurdly to codify them into song form. Later I recorded all the vocals into Audacity, which I outgrew, where they languished. 

Recently I imported them all into my new DAW, Reaper, added (I think) a killer bass line and started building out and finessing the track over a period of weeks as time permitted, using it as an exercise to bring all my newly acquired skills together into one project. 

I tried some interesting experiments. Hired a musician on fiverr.com to supply a violin line, which I multiplied five times then pitch shifted to create a string section. I kept the main vocal very dry then doubled it and placed the doubled part way back in the mix while soaking it in reverb. I feel like that made the vocals both lush and crisp at the same time. I received some cow bells and bongos and nudged their tuning into the same neighborhood as the song's. 

I have difficulty hearing some frequency bands associated with drums and percussion, so I mixed those much lower than I would prefer, thinking if I can hear them, they will be too loud for everyone else.

There is a third verse I may incorporate later. I performed all the parts (on natural instruments) except the drums, percussion and violin (credits as noted). I am proud of this result which feels like a significant leap forward for me. In the end it is just a short, quirky pop song, but it means a lot to me as it gives me a sense of what I can achieve going forward.
