I wrote a new song with my band this evening, we started out with a really basic beat and then i added bass, some synths and a whole lot of guitars and all of a sudden we had the framework of what will probably be our strangest song so far.
My parents were hippies and i had to listen to a lot of crap hippie music when i was a kid, some of it is still there, lurking at the back of my mind and this evening it came pouring out of me onto what was supposed to be a dance track.
So now we have a progressive house song with guitar/synth harmonies like something out of a seventies progressive rock song, like a dance version of Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer..
And then when you think it cant get any stranger suddenly the country and western guitars come swooping in and it sounds like two totally different bands are sharing the same drummer and by coincidence they are playing in the same key, its like you were to turn on two radios at the same time and by some cosmic accident two totally different songs were playing and they would fit together like one..
I had to go to work so i left the guys in my band with all these strange elements to work out some kind of arrangement, i hope they manage to stay focused and dont throw away all those insane guitars, i think this song could be something we could look back at in a few years with pride and still shake our heads in amazement..
