Vocal Week - Day 3b : Now What?

Rock and Roll.

Pausing periodically to cough, Erica channeled her inner Gwen and put some pretty stanky rock vocals down on a song called Now What this hot afternoon. It’s a tune that was written first in the process where I was trying to write a new song every three days. The lyric and tone reflect the manic energy that I was feeling during that mad but fruitful season. This tune is unlike anything else on the record. Good thing? Bad thing? Who knows. It’s a thing. The whole tune is about just saying… the hell with it, what’s next?

It’s a total throwback, like some sort of early 80s power pop tune. When Ash heard the demo, the first thing he said was, “It’s like a grittier Tainted Love!”

I might indulge my inner child and slap some phattie analogue synth parts on it later on in the process.

Wanna hear it? Oh, ok. For a change, there’s no Chad on this one to mess it up. Ooops… I cut off the very end of the MP3… sorry.

Enjoy anyways.
