16 April 2025
I’ve finally had time to tackle the remake of Nothing To Say. A bit of lyric came to me late at night. A new musical approach followed. I started with my original chords and then rewrote them. I worked up a front part, revised the verse and wrote an end section. I grabbed the bridge from Joe’s demo which wasn’t used/ My first arrangement came om at over nine minutes. That is not what I had in mind. After some heavy editing I got it down to 6 minutes. I’ve now added bass and guitar to the track. There is a guide vocal. I’ll need to write more lyics and sort out the melody.

It feels good to get off dead center and back to writing. More to come.

For my part, I’ve returned to the song Nothing To Say. This was submitted for the double album at the very last minute. I did a simple demo and offered it up to the band. Joe Adragna asked if he could take it and do some work. He ultimately came back with an original idea that was influenced by my demo. I took the song back and added my parts. I also restored the bridge from my demo to the arrangement. Joe then took that to Scott McCaughey for help finishing the lyrics. No good idea goes wasted. I’m back on the case.

Finding time to work on the new material is hard to come by at this point. The cover art for the new album is completed. Now it’s a matter of preparing the press and creating a video.
