Lyrics:
Circle Goes On
In my arms,
you are safe here.
Away from harms,
I will protect you dear.
But oneday you will be,
out on you own.
And i hope for you,
there will be someone at home.
For you to hold,
In you arms.
And protect them,
and keep them from harm.
Like I did you.
The circle goes on

Noodles lead to sore fingers…
Jan 15th
I’ve started working on an instrumental to get back in to the swing of recording.
It’s called ‘Noodle’ because it’s what I’m doing… from the definition on Wikipedia: Musical slang for aimless playing on an Instrument… which is what it’s pretty much going to be.
Should have it up in a couple of days… at the moment it’s just a basic drum track, a rhythm guitar (needs to be rerecorded), bass guitar (and lead guitar to be recorded soon). I made it up so I could have something to practice lead over the top of. The initial idea which got me to sit down was more of a fast country type instrumental, but as I sat down with my bass and Reaper it turned more into a rock riff, then flowed with with power chords…. ech.. it’s a start…
Will try and get someone to record a live drum track for this track so it has some feeling at least…

Finally getting my study (studio) into a working state. Built an Ikea box, I mentioned in a previous post, to put my PC in… has reduced the amount of noise the computer is making for when I record.
Haven’t posted much cause I haven’t had too much to say… and I haven’t been doing much… I’m going to put up some goals for the next year on this site so I can keep a track of my goals for the next year.
