"I Hope You Love All of My Sh!t"

Before I get into anything about this week's song, I have to give a huge thanks and shout out, once again, to @meno and @passion-ground for both giving my Week 6 song a spot on their Top 5.

( meno's post / passion-ground's post )

I can't fully express how happy I am at the positive reception these two judges, and the Open Mic community at large, have given to my music. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Staying on Track

The backing track I added to last week's song seemed well-received (thanks to everyone who suggested I do it!) so I've gone the same route this week, composing drums and synth elements to back up my live piano part. It's a lot of fun mixing pre-composed and live performed elements in this way, and - to give credit where credit is due - I couldn't do it without the amazing piece of technology that is Ableton Live. I won't go into exceedingly nerdy detail, so suffice it to say that no other DAW makes it so easy to do so much before, during, and after a live performance than Ableton. If you're not using it, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. There's a new version coming out soon.

Lyrics

``` Week 7 - 'Right Place and/or Right Time' Is this the top of the bottom or the bottom of the top And how’d I end up here? The way that everybody’s looking at me Makes me want to disappear I know I’m in the right place at the wrong moment Always falling far behind Never changing pace 'til I’m waiting in the wrong place at the right time Is this the end of the beginning Or is it all coming to a close? The way that everybody’s talking lately Makes me wonder if it shows That I know I’m in the wrong place at the right moment Wishing I was up ahead Staying in the race til I’m standing in the right place at the wrong time instead ```

Thanks for listening! Leave a comment if you liked my song :)
