It seems I need to the motivation of getting it out there to do any real work on these tracks. I know that lack of patience and need are the Ego factor, but so be it for now. I&#8217;ve been really frustrated with this track. Still am. But I do think it has gotten better with each step, although I hate the fact that the process has been frustrating. I think I&#8217;ll work on putting out an EP, this and four other tracks. I&#8217;ve got plenty of material for 20 double albums, but I get so perfectionist with producing, it takes me forever and like I said, it becomes frustrating when the sound in your head isn&#8217;t able to realized in the recording. But I think I need to start playing these songs live. Let them breath and get some life. Then I think the natural arrangements will come more freely instead of having to &#8220;force&#8221; it. Take the songs I&#8217;ve written lately, learn them by heart, play and sing them emotionally, live, and I think I can move the ball forward. Oh, if you happen to like this track :-), you can download it by clicking that little down arrow on the right side of the player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Please, by all means, give me feedback.
