labor comes in different flavors

I seem to be back in groove a bit on this song. It feels really nice to be making progress; to have the time and focus to make progress. Yesterday I was somewhat disheartened with this song. I've been working on it for a while on and off, and I felt like it had lost all it's life somehow.

But then today with some rearranging and honing of the speech and a very cool triple counterpoint marimba part, things are really looking up again. I think I'll finish it tomorrow. I'm at the point where I need to just deal with the finalizations, so to speak. The song is now written and recorded, but there are a number of technical things that need to be dealt with as well as some final mixing. This stage is fun because it feels like things are happening quickly. I know at this point that if I put the hours in, I will make progress whereas when I am writing, I can spend days and days of effort and only make it worse.

I'm going to get back to it. Happy Fourth, everyone.
