day sixteen 三番週の十六番日

a little guitar line, that seems to say something like the end of summer, or end of something dear...
i'd like to expand on this one quite a bit... probably going to ruin it by making it too heavy.

4/4 84

Beautiful!
I could see some rythmic chords on the piano and some lite snare work going well with this.
This drew me in.

i love it. i think it sounds almost complete. i don't think it needs anything.
in my mind i picture driving home from someplace and looking out the car window. everything outside is green and wet with rain. the sky is grey. whatever happened in the place you have left was something beautiful and brief and can never happen just that way again. you are at the beginning of immortalizing it in your memory.

boris... you touched with your hands and tied a thread around it carefully.


thank you.


and thank you mike... i would like to add some things... i think i'll need to be very very careful to keep the feeling. you know me- i want to make it 20 minutes long and have it build to a thunderous roar.

maybe that's how my memories work then? like boris said, "whatever happened in the place you left was something beautiful and brief and can never happen just that way again. you are at the beginning of immortalizing it in your memory."

i think i tend to mull things over and over like a snowball rolling down a hill, the theme is the same: it's still snow, but as it gathers mass and momentum, i'm realizing that the moment i'm leaving was life-changing and more profound than i could have imagined.

I agree, it needs delicacy.
Are you speaking of over analization or trying to make a moment so great that you never take the time to enjoy the beauty that it holds?

sort of like over-analyzing. but i don't think i over-analyze things too often. more like i tend to be slow on the up-take, so if i take more time to understand something, chances are i'm going to understand more and more gradually.

hahah... rad! it was fun to think of my thoughts as a snowball rolling downhill. reminded me of calvin and hobbes, which in turn reminds me of you...

it's fun hear us describe our thought processes to each other.
