I gotta redo a track on the next album, because after some stuff that happened, the mixing is no longer accurate to how the lyrics make me feel. Not in a "happy-sounding song that's about dark/sad topics" way like Hey Ya, Kids, Pumped Up Kicks, etc. More like "the person who wrote those lyrics is not the same person I am anymore," if that makes sense.
Throwing on some really over-the-top distortion/compression on the drums and piano, at the very least. Recorded some extra improv layers, and added an entire new 2 minute section before the ending. Might even write a new verse, like a before/after timeskip in audio form. That sort of stuff, pretty much.
Just wanted to give an update since the only productive thing I was working on the past few days was code-related... but I'm definitely still working on the songs. Just hadn't coded anything useful in months cuz issues focusing, so it was pretty refreshing. Didn't want to interrupt the flow state or whatever, some of you guys prob know how it feels.
