We’re getting SO CLOSE with
finishing up “Stay Awake”!
We just updated a new mix on
the Songs-in-Progress page for it.
The new lyrics from last week
made it into the song
and I THINK all the
all the background vocals
are recorded for it.
Right now all that’s left is
adding the missing drums
(accidentally deleted you
can read up all about that in
my last entry if you missed it).
And then I THINK I want to
add acoustic guitar strums
in the background just to
give the electric guitars an extra
percussive bite to each strum.
The final phase is mixing
before sending it off
to get mastered.
It’s been wild watching this
song develop from what started
on just acoustic guitar.
I hope you dig it so far!
The end vocals right now
are not mixed very well at all
but it gives you a feel
for what we’re envisioning
for the big finale ending.
In other news,
I can’t believe I’m saying this
but we have shipped around
4,000 CDs to date since
our Shadow/Light adventure
began about six months ago!
I’m so grateful for all the support
and NEW listeners finding us.
Here’s to MUCH more to come!
