Original: “Eyes of the Moon”

Click here to listen to my song “Eyes of the Moon”

This is my second original song.  It took a while to complete, and I had to fight my perfectionistic impulses to get it out the door.  In total, I was working on it for about a month or so.

As you will see (hear), it turned into quite an epic 🙂  It’s over 6 minutes long and consists of a few different parts.  I’m pretty happy with the result, and I hope you are too.  (And, by the way, the song doesn’t end after the first fade-out!)

UPDATE: I ended up continuing to add to this song after putting it up.  There’s now a new version with more going on the the second half.  Also, check out this feedback thread at ultimate-guitar.com.

    […] Though the time has passed quickly, a lot has changed.  Indeed, I’ve changed.  I’ve written quite a bit, and I’m getting closer to understanding my writing interests (and non-interests).  I’ve spent countless hours (well, about 25 a week, so 800+) practicing guitar and studying music, and I’ve learned a huge amount.  I’m beginning to see myself as a “real” musician.  Even a year ago, writing and recording music seemed daunting.  Now I’m finished with my second song.

    I’m seeing a style developing. I like this one more than the first. It seems more matured and more subtle.

    How many hours do these take to make?

    Thanks for yo’ comment. Indeed, I did put more care into creating this one — the first was really just a “ditty.”

    I spent quite a while working on this one, though most of it was in the recording process. Things should go faster once I get the hang of it. Some parts of this song ended up being a bit too simple and “linear” for my liking, so I’m thinking about adding a little more to it.
