Photographs In Your Mind – (sketch)

March 18, 2009 | misc

In an effort to be transparent and let you in on as much of the behind the scenes stuff as possible, we decided to post the scratch for this week. BUT before you hit that link below let me do all of my disclaimers first!!!

When I set out to write a song, what seems to work best for me is to find a pretty chord progression and sing what comes to mind. I’m mainly looking for a melody but sometimes the words that come out end up shaping the song. I do a lot of mumbling and I’m not concerned with pitch at this stage. After this, if what I recorded has any potential at all, I’ll send it to Tim and the collaboration begins. This happens the other direction as well, like in “A Thousand Bars.”

So here is the song we are working on for this week, and I like the phrase “photographs in your mind” that came out, so that will most likely be the title. Any ideas/suggestions for the song are welcome.
