No More The Silence!
Okay. That's it.
So I'm gonna make a cd. This is of course slated for production after the other three cd's worth of songs I have lying around. But this cd will be called, "Todays Newest Nervous Revolution". It will be by 'Lonan Cairn', which I shall pen myself as in my 'solo realm', so called. I'm having a spout of creativity, and might as well syphon as much crude artistic energy from it as possible.
The album is about... well, I'd like to say love lost, except that I haven't had any. Or lost love, but what love has BEEN lost, if I didn't have it in the first place? So it's about the loss of love itself, and of my soul, and of my direction in general. I intend for it to follow an arc, starting out with some songs I would sing... ya know, at a buddy's apartment after a few beers or something. Then it gets a little more serious, and starts discussing problems, it gets personal. It doesn't get political, but it might be kind of anti-political, anti-party, anti-society, anti-progress, anti-establishment. We'll see. The point is, it'll wrestle with irresolvable issues and lament and be redeemed. It will be RECLAIMED. Reborn, but only just as bad off as it was before.
So in the end everything is back to normal. Nothing is really changed or won, but some things are learned. Hopefully, somethings are retained. In the end though, it's just about breaking even and ending up where you started or left off in the first place. Sort of self-exploration gone wrong. It'll be a trip.

Look for new lyrics and production notes, coming soon to a blog near you!

Yeah, I totalled all the songs I've written. I think I have sixteen. So I'm going to cut that in half, and write another two or three and record them winter break. I can't imagine what the theme would be. I can only tell you now what won't be on it. "Far Too Much," "AOL," "Break Even," "Falling Ascending," and "Across The Border." The last two might make it in a different form. "No Good Excuse" is iffy too for obvious reasons.
Preliminary tracklist might look like this:
The Last
Only October
Dear Sister
No Good Excuse
Ghost Song
Lunita
Bad Idea
Now And Then
Michael’s Song
The themes are mostly on family, loneliness, regret, life after death, lost love, joy, and mortality. I've got to find a logical progression there. Might need a couple more, like I said.
Yeah, that's good though. I deffinitely like falling/asc. and border, but see why you wouldn't want to do them maybe, at least the latter.
If they don't make it on your december effort, they'll probably show up on something we do this summer in another form, like you said. As for the first three there... yeah. If those go on a cd, the whole album will probably have a sort of different feel to it. And be short.
