World premier. It's been a while since I wrote a song. Enjoy!




Introverted Blues
by Aaron C. Lyon
June 4, 2020

Burned all my clothes 'cause they didn't spark joy
Gave my vinyl away 'cause I'm living in the cloud
Sold my car--I had nowhere to go
Finally cleared out the garage

I don't have room for the knickknacks
One pair of shoes is enough
Took all I could carry to charity
'Till I could hear my voice echo in the hall

I got a new appreciation for the outdoors
I hear the voice of Jesus
maybe just because I'm lonely
but it don't mean nothing if I can't have you

The house felt cold so I got a new sofa
I started painting and it gets a little messy
I bought a brand new car to drive to the mountains
I guess that's progress

I got a new appreciation for the outdoors
I hear the voice of Jesus
maybe just because I'm lonely
but it don't mean nothing if I can't have you

Nice Aaron. I like it.

Wow, that’s really good; song, arrangement, performances and recording are all ‘proper’. Sounds like a real band, instruments playing - how did you do it?

[xtian]

Thanks, Pete! You can see a lot of the "how" in the video. I'm using Logic Pro X. I recorded voices, guitars (Helix Native plugin!) and bass. The drums started as Logic's Drummer tracks (procedurally generated MIDI) and then I tweaked them by hand. The Hammond is a software instrument. Any other questions?

[ChopSauce]

Yes:

- is there something you're doing wrong?

(congrats!)

[andrew]

Well done - most pleasant song I've heard in a long time.
