Track Listings and Some Things you Probably Wont Care About

Let's talk about some album stuff.

Here is the track listing for my first album:

-01. What Holds us Together in Winter (used to be Winter Sleeping)
-02. Seasons and Struggles (used to be Picture in the Clouds)
-03. Flames of Glory (I'm thinking of renaming this)
-04. Simon and Shirona's Song
-05. A Stronger Man, A Stronger Woman

06. A Life of Questions
07. Sunlight
08. By the Sea, Looking Up at the Sky
09. Walkin'

-10. Lonely as a Stump in the Middle of a Forest

Songs with a dash next to their name mean songs that have been fully arranged/transcribed, with sheet music ready to hand out to musicians. So I have four more left to transcribe. I've got plenty of time though because currently I only have a violinist and I need a cellist and hopefully a trumpet before I consider recording. I could probably do a passable job with the trumpt parts but I'd rather get someone more skilled/focused.

Tentative titles for the album are, "Look and See" or "Get Back Up!!" (complete with the two exclamation points). I'm not sure which I prefer but they are both fitting. Feel free to give opinions on that, or the song titles. I have posted rough demos of tracks 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 on my bandcamp, which is linked to on the right. Those have been up for a while now.

I have also gotten to work composing my second album. I've got 5 or 6 songs already in the works, two of which I have finished lyrics for and also the general song structure/chord progressions. You can hear a rough demo of one here, tentatively titled, "Well, So It's Gone".

For the second album I'm trying to make it generally more up-tempo/exciting and I think generally it's working out. But we'll see!

For now though I'm gonna focus on transcribing the rest of the album and getting musicians, I think. It's more important to get that first album finished.
