I often wish I were a good enough singer/musician to make music that captured my feelings/evolution. I suppose my scripts & films have been that outlet of expression for me over time. #folklore got me thinking.. If I were to imagine my work as an album, here's the track listing:
The album title, and lead single, would be "Accumulated", a minimal 80s inspired song. 🎹
The 2nd single would be "Strangers, again" and it would have some type of counting (a la "Back at One"). It'd be the unexpected breakout hit. 📈
Track 3 would be called "To Those Nights", a story-telling song. Each verse would be a different story, 3 verses.. it'd be the longest song, and the first one that had cussing. 🥃🍷
Track 4: "Crossing Point" - I imagine dreamy Imogen Heap style production. It would end abruptly.📉
Track 5: "Love Lock" - Piano/acoustic, collab with an Italian indie singer-songwriter. 🔒
Track 6: "JANG (Just Another Nice Guy)" - This would probably be a Lauv type song. 😅 (since it's 2020, might needa be called Just Another Sad Boy, lol)
Track 7 would be an Interlude: "Untouchable".. just 9 min of two people talking. 🏠
Track 8: "See Through" - This would be my EDM dance track. But like 2000s Robert Miles trance, not Chainsmokers. 🕺🏻 (this is a deep cut, only hardcore fans would know this one)
Track 9: "The Places We Should've Gone" - This would be a Mando-pop ballad of course. 🎤
Track 10: "Take it Slow" - This would obviously be a R&B slow jam, it would be perfect for last dances at proms. 😌
Track 11: "From Here on Out" - A folky song like Monsters and Men that would have lots of "Heys!" on the downbeat lol 🎻🥁
Track 12: "The Last" - I'd ask @KinaGrannis to sing this one.
Thanks for going on this pretend-musical journey with me & indulging my imagination. And thanks @taylorswift13 for the unexpected gift! 😌 #the1 #cardigan #exile #mirrorball #invisiblestring #betty #RIPCruelSummer
