Each demo is getting me closer to where I will eventually be to record the album. Drums are really coming together. The next demo will focus more on the rhythm tones. New cab mic coming... Verse I Morning light, spills on the floor Shadows…

Song about my mother instead of my father for once... Another demo, things are choppy, but it is just to get the idea down and to test the set up, spent maybe four hours on it tops. Chorus You never listen when I’m drowning
