I've just begun work on getting a song called "Rest of My Days" arranged and recorded for the new album. Only problem is, I have two choices for this song and it's perplexing me no end!
Originally, I wrote this song in 4/4, but I also discovered it works really well in 6/8. It changes the song's feel completely. 4/4 is quite r&b and the 6/8 gives a real bluesy edge to it.
I don't like these dilemmas as I really enjoy both versions of the song. After releasing the song "Seize the Day" as it is on the "I'm Alive" EP, I regret the arrangement I did, and wish I had approached it very differently. "Seize the Day" is such a great song and at times, I don't think I did it justice. I really don't want to do this to "Rest of My Days". Fingers crossed I'll get it together.
I like very much most of the songs I write, but there are a few that I absolutely love. Rest of My Days is one of those. I love the lyrics, the melody, the chords, the melancholy of it all and I absolutely LOVE singing it because it gives me a great vocal workout.
