» New song: “Tribute” [- mass konfuzion.com -]: Music, Life, etc.

Posted on July 5th, 2008

I wrote this song for a friend of mine who had to endure some trying times. It’s a tribute to him, and the strength I watched him uphold throughout his ordeal. You could say he inspired me; I simply felt compelled to write it. Do you know what I mean? Have you ever done something because at that moment, it seemed like the only logically correct action you could take? Or do I just sound like a crazy musician trapped in a corporate worker-boy’s body with an engineer’s brain?……

I could talk for a long time about the song–about how it’s the first full-length song for which I played my bass throughout (both for the solo and the underlying bass) and that I basically learned some new techniques on the fly, or how it’s yet another song I set in the key of C-sharp minor (because for some reason, C-sharp minor seems to be my favorite key signature), or how I had to do at least 100 total recording takes because I kept messing up (and consequently, 6-hour chunks of time vanished before I even realized it)–you get the point…

Instead of all that, I’ll just re-post the link, just in case you got to this point without clicking the first one. Jam.
