gave me a nudge to stART uploading to 3speak again. Based on what else it's told me over the last little bit of time, I am inclined to obey.
This song has been hanging around on my To-Do list for a couple years. But it kept getting passed over because I couldn't get my mind around the imagery it wanted. Frankly, I know now that it was because I was still doing precisely the opposite of what the lyrics are preaching. Looking back, it makes me chuckle.
This past Monday night was Lundi Gras (kind of a big deal) and it was coincidentally the coldest night of the year. Since NOLA is still in all-but lockdown, Carnival 2021 was cancelled so there was nowhere to go and nothing to do. I found myself alone in a (literally) freezing cold house with a longview of a blank future. I decided to employ the circumstances rather than grumble about them.
Whilst I was sat, shivering at my desk and resolving to eliminate alcohol from my diet (for real this time), I was visited by... something.
Right, well, anyway, here is phase one of the project. The music is nearly done being edited, and then it'll be on to the mastering phase. I love the idea of putting this sort of Behind the Seens material here on Hive before making it public on ScrewTube. It's a real comfort to know that I can point to this post later on to show the true origin of the work, should the need ever arise. Thx fer that, ! XOXO
