Finally got around to connecting several electronic items on my side desk - Kawai R-50e drum machine from around 1995, Fostex X-18 4-track tape recorder from a couple of years earlier than that (I think), a Korg volca keys from 2021, and a handful…

Another lovely song from Leum. He's prolific, that one is!
It was fun to collaborate on lyrical tweaks for this one, working together to tighten up a solid draft into a rich, compact song.
For recording, we used a couple of condenser mics…

Song idea number 12 becomes finished mix number ten of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge.

In my head
All the time
Relentless
Tieing me down
In my room
Now and forever on repeat
It won't leave me
I reject those who help me
I'm ashamed:
You think me weak
It's lasting then
Did I mention
It destroys me
All of the time…

A recording by our Muskegon-area neighborhood bluegrass group.
Despite its upbeat association and recent use in pharmaceutical TV advertising,
this is a rather sad song; but, like most others do, we perform it in an upbeat style.

This started out as song idea #3 and ends as finished mix 7 of 50.
I like the chorus here though it is a bit overly wordy and hard difficult to sneak in breaths while singing. That's about all I like with this song though. It might be salvageable…
