not exactly ready

well, i took the time to read my previous post on this ghost blog. it's just kind of odd mainly cause i've kept this since the week before i decided to quit my old band and periodically update from time to time. basically, i'm just about done writing the EP. i picked the 5 songs i want to be on this EP in particular. this EP is very dark, yet optimistic sounding. it's weird, it's exactly how i am as a person. a huge oxymoron. i'm extremely pleased with what i have, and so far it's just been about filling the gaps and perfecting parts more so than trying to change or rearrange everything. my ideas are becoming more and more consistent, everything just feels right. i haven't been so sure about what i wanted to do musically till now. i've written about 85% of the record already. i kind of have an idea of how i'd like things to flow and transition but lyrically speaking i'm slightly stumped. i want to have a theme about people feeling unloved, and how people need to be reminded that they're cared for. i'd like to expand on that, but at the same time it doesn't feel exactly that it would be a current topic for me to discuss. maybe i could talk about being over due, being patient and just waiting for things in life to work out even though you feel so lost and growing restless of where you are. all i know is, the songs i've chosen all work well together, and they all carry emotion and will be a good first batch of songs to display what i want to do. i guess the plan is, is to save up some..and start working with erik martin again. we totally click more these days and he's down for what i want to do. so once me and him work together and figure everything out and hopefully make plans to enter the studio this summer. i just want this EP to sound huge, and hallow as if it was recorded at godcity studios. hopefully i will have this EP done by august.
