This past week was all focussed on
finishing “Find Yourself”…
for which… the Songs-in-Progress page
HAS been updated. :) Go check it out!
There are now ALL main vocals recorded and
most harmony vocals in place
throughout the whole song.
The only things left to do are
a couple more background vocals
(I hear some “whoas” happening at the end)
and then maybe some “synth glue”
which is a term we use in the industry
to describe the production synths added
that aren’t necessarily audibly noticeable
but more felt than heard.
If they were muted though, you’d be able to
tell something was missing.
Then after that I’ll be mixing everything
(specifically the drums are NOT mixed at all)
and then off to my mastering engineer!
Once I receive the final master from him
the track will be complete and available
to download to you and all FUTURE SPHERIANS.
With this song the album will have
4 out of 11 songs totally complete!
(Or technically 5 out of 12
if you count the bonus acoustic track)
It has been a long time coming
but slowly but surely
this album will get finished!
This particular song has actually
been a LONG time coming.
As the song page mentions,
I originally wrote this song almost 5 years ago!
When I decided to put it on this new album
I felt like the time had FINALLY come
almost as if I had to prove to myself
that I truly had “found myself” enough
to put this song out in the wild.
The lyrics are written as
if I’m talking to someone else
but truthfully the whole song is
written as a letter to myself.
It’s been an intense several years
since originally writing this song.
When the words first came out for it
I was pleading with myself to FIND MYSELF.
To be on the other end of that plea now
and seeing who I have become over the years
I am very happy and pleased to be more than
who I originally envisioned I could become.
Even though this song is a letter to myself
I also hope it can serve as a
positive fire to light for any listener
who might feel stuck or lost in life
trying to find themselves
and who they truly are…
and what their heart is calling them to be.
Like I always say,
“Follow your heart
because the heart is never wrong…” 🖤
