2021 50/90 Song Number 50!
WOOHOO! Success! 2014, 2020, and now 2021.
I kinda like this one. It's kinda swampy, in a good way. I like the strummy solos. I probably should have put more work into them but I think I can live with this…

I like this one and I can't figure out why. It's certainly not because of the recording because it's pretty hacky. You can pretty much hear every punch and every edit. It's certainly not because of the vocals because…

Not much to say about this. It consumed me for awhile, and I'm not convinced it's worth it.
A little keyboard intro, bass, drums and a bunch o' guitars. And some stress and sweat.

A slightly odd structure, led by the lyrics, which has a very different intro verse the chords of which are not then repeated though the song.

2021 50/90 Song Number 48
Not bad. I like the phaser on the guitars in the A section, and I like the wah on the rhythm near the end. That wash of noise underneath is actually a guitar solo that was sort of hiding the slow wah effect so I…
