And then I just kinda freaked out.

For those not in the know, this was for February 28th’s FAWM song skirmish. A title was announced at noon CST, and then the goal was to write a song in just 1 hour.

I don’t think demos were required, but for me, I often revise while recording, so it was essential that I get the recording done too, otherwise I would’ve felt I cheated a bit.

I just stamp everything with TO BE CONTINUED
