...if only I could be as cool as you...

Things are certainly progressing now. We are almost getting in there consistantly now. It is definitely helping already. We have gotten refocused and are really working when we are in there. All in all, things are just looking up.

We have decide to go back to our original plan on focus working on a single track, the track tentivaley named "In This Corner". It's hard for me to describe the vibe or sound of the track. It's a fairly simple track. It has a quiet part and a loud part which alternate a few times, no real change, and then a curve ball of an outro. Besides that, I really couldn't tell you what kind of a sound it has, or tell you who, or what band, it might be compared to. I basically hesitate to do that. I won't do it.

The track itself is still fairly raw. Of course it is, but we have made a little progress with it I would say. For the first time we are really, really paying attention to the details of the song. We even took a little time to let just Mike and Rook work together on the outro part, to make sure that the sound of the drums and the bass were matched and smooth. That is something that I really don't recall ever doing. I mean, we took some signifcant time out to do this. It seem to make a difference to. I was glad to just spectate at them work together and try to get on the same page. I was very impressed, and very proud. We also made some simple, but significant, realizations while doing this. Nothing earth shattering or revolutionary at all, but something that we need to do. Keep it simple for now, get the track down as much as we can, and let the changes and fill in's come naturally as we progress through the song.

All it all, it seems as if we have made huge strides and signifant progress since that one bad rehearsal night, and the discussion that soon followed. For now, we are trying our best to stick to what we say and just continue to work hard and get the first real track finalize, or at least for now. It's a great feeling of accomplishment already, and of course it should only continue to get better as we keep on going!
