Another demo studio return - this one is called "Again," a collaboration with a local songwriter. Not sure how I feel about what I got back from the studio on this one though. I think the musicianship was fine, but the vocal performance is what's weighing on me. I may sit on this one for a while, then redo the vocals, not sure yet.
I think that this is one of the draw-backs of working the demos online. If I was sitting in the room, I would have commented during the process, but alas, I was not.
This song came from an experience that Beth and I had at Costco, with an older man that was shopping for one of the first times without his life-long partner. It was touching and certainly tough to avoid tearing up at when it happened. I struggled for a long time to write this song, and ended up waiting to have someone to co-write with to spark some progress. It was written and re-written many times. May need another one or two, don't know yet.
