Lost in Time
by @wacha
Challenge: Get LostLiner Notes
I started this one envisioning it more of an Americana/Blue Grass tune but it went off the rails a bit.
I started with "I'm lost in time, no reason or rhyme" as the first line but when I came up with the chorus I changes it.
-This one started out on guitar with the first verse and chorus written. I recorded that then sang along with what I had until I came up with the second verse.
-The guitar is heavily cut up from that first take to make it kind of work.
-I found some drum patterns I liked and ran with that. I am learning that I like snare less and less on these more chill tracks so I took out all the snare and the cymbals in a few places where it felt like a bit much.
-I found some pedal steel, mandolin and fiddle loops I liked and threw them in there.
-I found this really cool bassline that just sort of bounced around and then was able to find a few others that works well with with and ran with that.
-All the samples (except drums) are from Arcade.
-I redid the vocals, tuned them a bit too much, listened again and replaced them with the untuned vocals.
-I did some basic mixing and mastering.
I think all in this one took about 2-3 hours.
Lyrics
Verse:
Been losing my mind
No reason or rhyme
Thinking about you
What should I do
Heart breaks I've found
Strewn all around
And then there's you
Just walking on through
Chorus:
Everything you've left behind
Just seems to get lost in time
Verse:
Been losing my will
To just stand still
Thinking about you
What should I do
It breaks my heart
That we must part
It's overdue
Need something new
Chorus:
Everything you've left behind
Just seems to get lost in time
Solo
Chorus:
Everything you've left behind
Just seems to get lost in time
Chorus:
Everything you've left behind
Just seems to get lost in time
