ok, before you go running around saying "she's releasing something?", know that this is just as in-the-air as everything else I plan, but at some point, it-or-something-like-it is going to happen.
I've been talking to a girl from canada (she lives along the ny border) and we've been making plans to put a band together. yes, she lives far away, but we're going to at least try. even if it doesn't work out (which I'm optimistic that it will), eventually I am going to get a band. and I really hate when solo artists drop everything they're doing for the band, but that's just how it happens since most people don't like playing solo. I'm not saying I'm going to do that, but if I do, I'd like to have something to show for my solo career. this is why I want to make EP's.
The first one I would do is very similar to my original demo plan, but just consisting of all my older, more acoustic sounding songs. just because they all have a similar feel, were all written around the same time and, not to make life boring, I think they all belong together and don't fit with my other songs.
a rough sort of track list would be like:
- alone/getting my way
- burn away
- meaningless
- lying
- alone/pieces (it's sort of a medley so it wouldn't feel like the same song being on there twice)
I know you're thinking, claire-- you're crazy, just make a full length. but some of my songs really need a band and I'd like to hold out on recording them until I have one. the idea is I might make an EP after this, or I might not. the one I would maybe make after this would be with more current songs like:
- falling
- waste (it still doesn't have a real title!!!!!)
- contradiction
- flames
- sunny skies (if I finish it)
- hiding (ditto)
- two others I've been sitting on that are far from done
I'm not sure about breaking down or thimbelina, as I've always seen them as band songs.
but I would also like to make a camoglitter EP. just for history's sake. and because I really like a lot of the songs we played, just not enough to do anything with them in the future. the songs would be mostly everything on the lyrics page (depending on whether I can finish the short ones or pass them off as a short song or not) and probably a song we'd been working on that we never made lyrics for ('fool', titled that because it sounds a bit like everlong [not that I encourage you to think that] and has a definite tool influence). I know I probably have no reason to do this, but it's something I always felt I needed to do.
thoughts?
