The moment is coming closer now, tell us the news
Yep, in one week from now I'm sitting on the bus, from Vasa central station,
to the harbour in Turku. About 5,5 hours of travelling + boat on top of that.
Should be safe and sound in bed at home @ about 2am Finnish time next thursday.
And the day after..
Yeah, after some much needed sleep, it's time to kick the recordings into gear.
Will try to do as much as I can to start with, not much production stuff,
simply just me, piano, and some synthesizer-strings to bear it all up.
K.I.S.S-ing is the key, I suppose.
Tell us some about the material, what's on the list?
Well, Kid's absolute first priority, since I was supposed to
record it during the christmas/new year holdup, but was stopped
by a flue that (as usual) made a comfy bed on my vox chords.
Then, I guess 1½-priority is a song that maybe will feature in a
small movie on youtube, was asked to do one tune of two,
and who would regret doing something for their favourite star?
No matter what happens with that one, you'll probably see it
uploaded on 28th of March..if not already on the 27th.
I guess time will tell on that one.
Otherwise then, what has happened since earlier?
Well, the Fighter/Songs For jess-duo is finished,
at least the words, beats, notes, well you know the deal.
Any titles you can tease us with?
Nope, I'm still doing my head in with those.
As you probably know, it's pretty lame to go with the "1, 2 ,3"
without any subtitles. Also remember "Fighter" was the first in its series..
Yeah, and the 2nd was..."Warrior" right? So maybe "Soldier" for the third?
Well, who knows, I might as well give you creds for coming up with
the title of the third one there, excellent job I must say.
Why thank you! So that's it then?
No. Glad you enjoyed your 5 secs of fame though.
On a more serious note, I'm sure it'll be revealed
sometimes during the next 2 weeks. Time will tell.
What about the main blog for Lyrics For Fun? Is it still alive?
Yeah, even though it's on some sort of hiatus right now,
it's not dead, though. Just taking some sort of prolonged nap.
And since we're on the lyrics...anything up-and coming?
I suppose I should have been prepared for that question to come (laughs).
Honestly no, not at the moment. Just focusing on this single thing ahead,
but who knows, there might be a project coming out of it,
with all the bad, cheesy, failing tryouts (laughs again).
Oh c'mon, you're not THAT bad..
Well thank you, but serious, this is just too big to simply
rush out in two weeks, although strange things have happened before.
Like that "Rickie" in Swedish that you wrote in two days?
Or the A New Era/Tillylicious you wrote on the travel from your home
to the place you're studying at at this very moment?
Yeah, exactly, although I might say I'm more proud of the last two
than the first one. Even though the numbers are the same,
I still have some kind of performance anxiety when it comes to
writing in Swedish. I want to take it further and develop,
but still it seems to fall back in those same old tracks
over and over again.
But these last two things (Songs for Jess 3/Fighter) are in swedish, right?
Thanks for using the working titles, but I'll let you go with that.
But yeah, needed to try out a thing I heard about last year.
Worked out pretty well. So you might be onto something.
So no vacation for you yet then?
Nope, not yet. Maybe in the summer, we'll see.
Well, can't come up with anything more right now.
You don't have to, just give me a ring or come visiting
anytime you have a question or two to spare.
I'll fix the coffee.
That'll be fine. We'll say so. Oh, and thanks for the interview!
Yep, that'll be ok. My pleasure. See you next time around.
