Change

I've got a new apartment, and the first week of work is over. I think things are going really well so far. It's a little lonely living in a new city where I don't know anybody, but the worst part is probably that I don't have any Internet access. Right now I'm back in Champaign for the weekend, so I'll use this opportunity to put up a song I should've posted a little while back.

I wrote this shortly after I wrote Front Porch. It was a Tuesday morning, if I recall correctly. My best song ideas seem to come in mid-morning on Tuesdays. Maybe that has something to do with planetary alignments, but in any case I had a draft version by the evening, which Jake, Meredith and I took to an open mic and completely bombed with. Luckily, we had practiced other, less fresh songs, but oddly enough the crowd didn't seem to mind at all. They liked this new song, or at least they gave me that impression afterward.

This recording is pretty rough. The bass is way too loud, and I'd like to add maybe one more instrument, but you'll get the idea. Once again, Meredith's harmony is lovely, and Jake's bassline is so fascinating that I sometimes accidentally listen to it instead of the rest of the song.

It's topically relevant, what with my recent acquisition of a job and my move to a new part of the state. Hope you enjoy!
