I'm going to resist the temptation to detail out the parts of my song that I know could be better, and instead will just say - here's my song!

I'm 100% sure that if it weren't for the songamonth challenge, this would never have become anything more than an 8-bar guitar line that got stashed away on my hard drive and never used. So there's that!
The Ebb, The Flow, and The Afterglow
Around September I want to compile the songs I've made here into an album, and this one will be the closing track - sailing off into the distance and kind of saying "until next time" to the listener.
I usually start songs on guitar but this time I started on drums, which I want to try to do more often. Also enjoyed giving the bass guitar some overdue attention this month.
Technically this is my May song - wound up taking half of June to finish it, and then I had too much going on these past two weeks so I skipped the rest of this month.
Usually I write instruments first and then decide what the song is about and let the music guide the lyrical content, but this time around I wanted to try starting with a concept in mind and forming the music around that. It was tough, and I don't think it's something I'll do very often, but it's nice to know now that I can if I have to.
I didn't have this totally finished on March 1 so had to wait til this weekend to wrap it up. The whole thing went in a bit of a different direction than I expected...wasn't planning to get loud with it, but hey whatever.
Onward to month 3!
