This post is for people who are into rock music aka radiohead/floyd. If you're a dance music person... you should probably ignore this post.
Anyhoo, the rest of you, I have been working on writing/recording a track for the past three days and it is driving me f*ing nuts!
I started with one intro and then tried to write a verse for that. So then I wrote the verse. And then I had to come up with a chorus. So then I came up with a chorus.
But the chorus didn't suite the verse. So then I wrote a new verse and scrapped the original.
But then the new verse didn't suit the intro. So then I scrapped the intro and wrote a new intro.
And now I have a 100% completely different song to the one I wrote in the first place!
So next thing was to write guitar lines and melody. All of which I have done about 50 different versions of each. I have spent about 12 hours a day on it for the past three days. It's even had about 5 different types of drum beats. Grrr.
So. What I am left with is the son, of the son, of the son, of an idea, that I had once upon a time (with the son, of a son, of a son, of a vocal melody and guitar line and drum patterns).
Needless to say I have lost all objectivity at this point...
I have a version with no lyrics (there is a vocal melody but I am just singing random words). needless to say it's 100% work in progress so dont expect a finished masterpiece.

So tell me does this f*ing thing works or not!
All advice welcome.

p.s. I Repeat. It's just random words that I'm singing of the top of my head. So take no notice of the words.
