Last Week’s Alcohol Groove
I’m working on Last Week’s Alcohol and I want to share with you guys what Brian just sent me. It’s cool to hear what came out of his long ramblings that he posted a couple months ago. Right now it’s 3 minutes and we anticipate the song being about 7 or 8… but this is what the basic groove will be based on.
I want you to know what you’re listening to: this isn’t what the song will be. This is the groove I’ll be listening to as I write lyrics… so the lyrics end up almost feeling like a descant above this main melody. At some point, we hope that the main motif will be sung with a lyric on it but that probably only happens once.
Take a listen. My notes so far are mostly schematic. I don’t have a plan for where the story goes yet but I’ll start to map it all out pretty soon and I’ll share this as I go.
