Mindflow #17

In these two days I’ve done something quite important: I planned seven of my songs to finally freeze their structure and know approximately their length.

The seven songs were フラッシュ！, Lovely Face, Wanna Be A Jonas (the first three song on the album), Driven, Solinsieme, HER and the newborn Summer (even if it won’t be in the album). I had no notable surprises, except for Driven which I thought to be longer and I had to lengthen the breakdown more than I was planning to have it nearly 4 minutes long. Anyway, this is the ranking as today:

1. フラッシュ！ (07:32), as I thought. It can seem long at first but I say, every second of this song is worth listening. Structurally is the song I’m more proud of (musically it’s quite simple btw).
2. HER (06:41). You can’t imagine what I had this evening thinking about how to set the solo of this song I make it in the end. Maybe the solo will be a little boring, but I must show my anger there _|–|.
3. Summer (04:46). This song would be shorter if I made it a little faster, but that’s it. An enjoyable uptempo hard rock tasting song (even if doesn’t have a solo O.O).
4. Lovely Face (04:30), one of my best songs. Similar to Summer in the mood, maybe less interesting lyrically, but I love it, especially the bridge and the subsequent solo with modulation from D to F major.
5. Driven (03:50), maybe the least inspired song of the album. Short but SOOO heavy. Except the ending, it’s in cut time (2/2) even if I didn’t get exactly what it means… I felt it better than 4/4 for this song.
6. Wanna Be A Jonas (03:25). You MUST know only the title of this song, it’s top secret . Subject aside, it’s a really nice song even if I shortened it intentionally to make it worth of the Jonas Brothers LOL.
7. Solinsieme (03:18), the shortest of the album, I think. You can say it’s short, you can say it’s simple, you can say I’m the umpteenth raper of the Pachelbel Canon , but this song IS ME, it’s all my world. If you don’t LOVE this song you aren’t my friend.

And by the way, I  saw Toy Story 3 a week ago. If you don’t cry at the end YOU’RE MEAN. I don’t have any affective link with the series, I just saw the two previous movies in the two days before, but it was the first time I cried in a theater. And I am the type of person that usually exits from a theater astonished, and I got the main concept of Solinsieme right after seeing a movie, but that was the most tearjerking movie I ever seen. Go to see it.

No Italian today, it’s too late to rewrite everything. Byee! ^^
