Time Flies (Week 9)

Robert James

My first crack at Reddit’s Song a Week challenge. I didn’t finish on time.

The prompt for 2018 week 9 was two minutes. The idea was to have the run time be less than two minutes. Mine was, except for the cymbal decay on the last note which stretched out a few seconds and put me over. Oh well, it was already overdue by that point anyway.

Recording wise, this song was an experiment with recording multiple signals at once without resorting to stereo tracks. Once I found where GarageBand hid the record ready buttons it was a snap.

The guitar parts are all ES-335 through a Fender Bassbreaker and a Vox MV50 at the same time. Two amps in stereo is pretty much audio bliss.

look at the time
ticking away
what can you do

look at the time
slipping on by
away from you

time flies when you’re having fun
watch it slip away
time flies when you’re having fun
don’t let it get away
