On Having a Contrary Nature

I lay awake last night thinking about things to come that I'd rather not think about.

I changed the channel.

Today, I planned, I would replay some of the guitar parts on the album and get them sounding different. But craposo- they didn't sound any good. It wasn't even that my fingers wouldn't do as they were told; I wasn't in the mood, after spending half the night getting in the mood. I was sabotaging my own self!

Instead, I decided to sing. Normally singers don't do mornings, but I managed an OK vocal on one song, then another. Then another. Dammit. I'd been saving vocals till last!

The album has done what albums always do: it has taken on a life of its own and started dictating what it wants no matter what decisions I think I'm making.

I've thrown a real wild card in at the end. Let's see what happens.
