Previewing the pre-amps....

Yup we banging it back today. Well not really I've always wanted to say that though and I bet I'll never get another chance. Today was test your pre-amp preference day and I have to say the Digi beat the API for me and I am definitely sold on the Condenser mic vs the Dynamic for my vocals. I used to find it annoying as it's so hot you can barely shift your feet without being picked up but now I find it adds a rich tone to my voice that is very much appreciated. Well it's off to bed for me, early class on music grants in the morning. P.S The new{ish} Bieber album Believe is really good. really. Okay when you stop laughing come on back and read that again. Still.not.joking. Peace out Kittens.

Here's a little song I wrote......

Yup. It's a songwriting weekend for me. I'm getting ready for that grant #fingerscrossed. Finished one song and wrote 2 more this weekend thus far and am feeling well happy about it! There's little like the feeling of completing what you reckon is a good song. It's like delivering a tiny little baby {somewhat less painful}. Anyway I'd been trying to finish this song I wrote while hanging with some good friends on my kitchen floor one Earth Hour and finally got to completing it yesterday. The song has special meaning to me. Here are the lyrics, I'll get around to recording it eventually I'm sure.

-Cheap Bottle of Wine-

Was only yesterday, at least it seems that way
We killed a bottle and we laughed for hours
When Jen walked through the door we're both sat on the floor
She brought the wine we would soon devour

Pre-Chorus

Those days are over, those days are gone
But with these memories they linger on

Chorus
I like a cheap bottle of wine
Like to sit on the floor with my girls
Talk about life x2
oh life

Now we've all gone our ways, from Thai to Scottish days
But I still recollect what made us smile
And we're all doing well, survived the road to hell
Though we won't see each other for a while

Pre-Chorus

I still remember, I won't forget
And from that moment got no regrets

Chorus

I like a cheap bottle of wine
Like to sit on the floor with my girls
Talk about life x2
oh life

Bridge

One day when you come home
And we are all full grown
And we are settled in our lives

Chorus

Then we'll have a cheap bottle of wine
and we'll sit on the floor just us girls
And talk about life x2
oh life x2
