Wednesday, March 4th, 2009
So I formed a band called Solar X (yes, I have abysmal taste in band names. so sue me. you come up with a good band name), and we had a female singer, who goes by the name of Rola, a 19 year old Lebanese (I think) girl with a really nice voice. The recording was made out at the bassist’s, (Brandon Simpson) house, which was out in the Hill Country southwest of Austin, recorded and produced by yours truly. Which would explain the terrible production quality. I learned not to produce my own music with this experience. I still like the way the song turned out, nonetheless. Chris McNelis, guitar, me, keys and backing vocals.
The chord progression for this song was written by Chris McNelis, and I wrote the vocal melody and lyrics. It was the first really successful collaboration that I had done with any other musician up to that point.
