On Friday, I spent a few hours in the studio with I, recording some preliminary vocals in their studio's isolation booth. That was an interesting experience, what with it being my first time. Now I have even more respect for vocalists who can sing 'a capella' and 'on key.' My voice was half-fckd because I've been having acid reflux this last week, and because I haven't been doing any practice singing, but we slogged through anyway with marginal success, and it was nice to hang out together. Some of the lyrics I brought in didn't even really have a melody, so I either tried to fake one or just read them to get some semblance of timing.

I don't remember the last time I posted any of my lyrics, but it's somewhere back, probably about 6-8 months. Here's more (I like where this song is headed, but unfortunately, this is the only verse so far):

I spent up all of my money on my favorite hobby.

Gonna get myself to the congress as a LOBBY of LOVE.

And touch myself to remind myself that I'm here in this body.

Touch you too to remind you that your body is me.
