sadness - sunset girl

when I accidentally deleted my files early last year I deleted this song too. the only thing that was saved was an unfinished draft of the song (as I always keep works in progress in my google drive so I can listen to them). this is only an mp3 file so I can't really change anything about it. that very same mp3 file is what you hear here as far as all the guitars and drums. I recorded bass and vocals on top of this recently (late january I think?) normally I don't add midi drums to a song, even just for previewing an idea, because I always intend on recording live drums in the end. but for some reason for this song I felt like I really wanted to listen to it with sample drums at least until I got around to recording the actual drums. this is dangerous for the songs i lost because now I can't change anything about the drums. but luckily the drums were actually really cool here and I wouldn't have really changed anything about them. some other songs I came back to which I'm forced to work upon an mp3 file have drum tracks that I can't change (redroom autumn tensions for example) and it's rather anoying becuase I'm stuck with the drum sound and I can't change any of the beats or add fills or anything. when I'm adding preview drums to a song I don't bother to make them perfect or anything because I know I'm just going to erase them all and record live drums, they're just there so I can hear what the song soudns like with drums. I guess for this song I decided to do that because it's naturally such an up beat and punchy snog that I just had to hear (and record)it with and while listening to the drum track. I'm so lucky that with these drums I actually decided to make the drum beat more interesting and added little variations that obviously I can't change now but I don't want to or need to. I even really like the drum tone. the only real problem I had was that I couldn't add any more to the song. I mean I COULD but then I would have to rerecord everything from scratch and that's too tedious and annoying. I could have also probably recorded more after this with the same tones but honestly, I think the song is really nice being short and sincere. it really doesn't need to have any more. all the ideas I had for how this song would continue I can just make in another song. my only complaint with this song is the guitar melody going on when the vocals first start. the only reason it's there was because I was just saving the melody Idea I had for when I ended up reording the vocals. I was going to delete the guitar track once I actually recorded the vocals but now I'm stuck with it. it sounds kind of annoying. but whatever.

"sunset girl burning like a may memory pacing through the time of our running lives we’re running through spring blossoming motionlessly as motionless as a youthful field dream towards green towards pure cerrien pure orange flame"

I actually wrote the lyrics considering the vocal patterns I had already come up with.
this song is about something pretty hard to describe. it's this pure essence of spring on the cusp of summer and perfect moments, in particular a may sunset. sunset girl is someone who embodies this perfection.
this song is going to be part of s 2 track EP which I hope to release soon, the second track is really awesome and it's even happier and emotional sounding than this one
