Artistic Cynicism In Disorder (NSFW: Language)
It was around 3:00 am in the morning, I had just finished watching Love & Mercy, the Brian Wilson movie, and had an excessive amount of creative energy in me. So I went into my studio and quickly wrote and recording this song and finished it as the sun was coming up. Although I did spend a lot of additional time in post-production, adding efx, cleaning up and mixing. I'd say the song is about 60% emotion and 40% technique.
If I had to try and fit it into some kind of category, it would be blues, psychedelic, rock. Perhaps somewhere in between Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead.
I didn't expect much from the song, it was just something that needed to come out of me, LOL, but the more I worked on it, the more I liked it. And I'll add the usual disclaimer that my vocals are not that great, especially for a song like this which could have used a really good blues singer.
But with all that being said, I ended up posting it to my Facebook page (twice actually, a second time after another revision).
However I failed to get any kind of feedback, even from my friends who normally leave some kind of comment for the songs I post. Which might suggest it's too crappy and my friends took the "If you have nothing good to say...." approach.
It's one of those instances where you get too close to a song and can't really be totally objective about it. But I know when I listen to it, even though it's rough, loose, and a bit overproduced, I still like it...just for what it is. So I'd be interested to get some feedback, good or bad, from you folks here. Thanks for listening!
